Some fight for glory. Others fight for pride.
Alexandro Salas is stepping into the ring for something even more powerful: family.
Representing the Monroe Fire Department, Alexandro is a first-time fighter in the Battle of the Badges 2025 — but his motivation runs deep. Inspired by the impact of MedCamps of Louisiana, he’s entering the ring on behalf of three family members with special needs: his niece, cousin, and younger brother, all of whom are on the autism spectrum.
“If it means getting my butt whooped in the ring, I’ll do it with pride.
Because giving back means everything.”
🔥 Fear or Fire?
When asked what fuels him — fear or fire — Alexandro doesn’t hesitate.
It’s fire, lit by love and loyalty.
“The charity inspired me. I’ve seen what MedCamps does, and I want to be part of that impact.”
🧠 The Hidden Side of Salas
Many might see a quiet fighter or an underdog — but Alexandro wants fans to know he’s coming with heart and hustle.
“I’ve only been boxing for a few months, but I’ve already fallen in love with the sport.
I’m in this to grow and to give back.”
His humility and honesty are refreshing — and exactly what the Battle of the Badges is all about.
💪 Training Tired. Fighting Proud.
Alexandro’s training philosophy? Simple, but powerful:
“Train while tired.”
He’s putting in the work, even when the hours are long and the body aches. Because to him, this fight isn’t about perfection — it’s about perseverance.
💥 Bold Prediction for Fight Night?
“Hopefully I can make it all three rounds.”
It’s not about knocking out his opponent.
It’s about standing tall — round after round — for those who can’t.
❤️ A Rookie with a Reason
Alexandro may be new to the sport, but his why makes him a fighter to watch.
He’s fighting for awareness, for inclusion, and for the chance to give back to an organization that helped his loved ones thrive.
