Meet Fernando "El Capitan"
Fernando made his professional boxing debut in 2015 as a cast member of The Undercard, a reality television series that aired every Sunday on CW33 and Telemundo.
The series gave viewers a look behind the scenes at his life as a professional fighter, including how he lived, trained, and prepared for fight night. It introduced audiences to the discipline, sacrifice, and commitment required to build a career in boxing.
STEPPING ONTO THE BIG STAGE
As his career progressed, Fernando became the first fighter taken under the wing of Errol Spence Jr. That opportunity marked the beginning of a new chapter and opened the door for Fernando to compete on some of boxing’s biggest stages.
His journey began with a Showtime Sports event at The Star in Frisco, the Dallas Cowboys’ world headquarters and training facility.
From there, Fernando went on to compete at:
• Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles
• Staples Center on Showtime Pay Per View
• Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas
• The Star in Frisco
• AT&T Stadium in Arlington on three separate occasions
• Fox Sports and Showtime Pay Per View events
Each fight gave Fernando valuable experience competing under pressure, preparing for major events, and performing in front of large audiences.
A RETURN TO TELEVISION
In 2020, Fernando returned to television as one of the main cast members of Hard Fought, a boxing reality series featured on The CW and broadcast across multiple cities and states.
The series gave viewers another inside look at the work, discipline, and sacrifice required to compete as a professional fighter. It also captured the personal side of boxing and the commitment that continues long before and after fight night
Today, Fernando trains at World Class Boxing Gym in Dallas, Texas. The gym is led by Derrick James, who has been recognized as Trainer of the Year by both The Ring magazine and the Boxing Writers Association of America.
Training in that environment has allowed Fernando to work alongside some of boxing’s top athletes and experience firsthand what it takes to prepare and perform at the highest level.
