A look at the Richard Torrez Jr vs Frank Sanchez tale of the tape – stats, height, reach and more ahead of the heavyweight boxing match below.
Both know one another and would have trained near one another in the US at points.
At heavyweight all it takes is one punch but both American prospect Torrez Jr and Cuban Sanchez can box a bit as well.
Sanchez can be very hit and miss though but when he’s on form a crafty operator.
The two fight this weekend on the Usyk undercard in Egypt and here’s what you need to know on Richard Torrez Jr vs Frank Sanchez tale of the tape:
- Sanchez: 6 feet 4, 78 inch reach, orthodox.
- Torrez: 6 feet 2, 76 inch reach, southpaw.
- Sanchez record: 25-1, 18 KOs, age 33.
- Torrez record: 14-0, 12 KOs, age 26.
- Sanchez weighed 247.75 lbs, Torrez 223 lbs last fight.
- Sanchez has 120 pro rounds, Torrez has 44.
- Sanchez is Cuban, known as The Cuban Flash.
- Torrez won 2020 Olympic silver medal.
- Fight is IBF eliminator for Usyk mandatory.
- Scheduled March 28, 2026 at MGM Grand.
Torrez isn’t the biggest heavyweight in the world but he can really punch when he connects.
Sanchez though with the height, reach and weight advantage here if he is on form will be very tough to beat.
Sanchez was knocked out by Agit Kabayel only in 2024 so is far from unbeatable.
He had a comeback win last year and will look to reestablish his credentials at the highest level in heavyweight this weekend.
