Javier Fortuna is one of the most popular and richest Boxer who was born on July 15, 1989 in La Romana, La Romana, Dominican Republic.
Fortuna is promoted by Lou DiBella’s company DiBella Entertainment. In March 2011, Fortuna knocked out Florida prospect Derrick Wilson to win the WBC Youth Intercontinental Featherweight Championship. He later followed this up with a first-round knockout over prospect Yuandale Evans and a second-round knockout over former IBF and IBO Featherweight Champion Cristobal Cruz.
On the undercard of Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez IV on December 8, 2012, Fortuna faced previously unbeaten Irish fighter Patrick Hyland for the WBA Interim Featherweight Title. Fortuna started fast, throwing power punches in bunches, but the Irishman stayed on his feet and began to put the pressure on Fortuna. Fortuna seemed to fade late but had built enough of an early lead to earn a unanimous decision and hand Hyland his first loss as a professional.
