Description

Yamaguchi Falcão Florentino (born 24 January 1988) is a Brazilian professional boxer who has held multiple regional titles in the middleweight, super middleweight and cruiserweight divisions. In his amateur years, he won silver at the 2011 Panamerican Games and a bronze at the 2012 Olympics at light heavyweight.

Falcão was born in São Mateus, Espírito Santo, and he is the older brother of professional boxer Esquiva Falcão.

On October 2, it was revealed that Falcão became a professional, signing with Golden Boy Promotions. In his debut, he was disqualified alongside Martín Fidel Ríos after the second round. Both fighters traded a few punches after the round ended followed by Ríos spitting on Falcão. The call was seen as excessive by both fighters, whom wanted to keep fighting. However, Falcão won all of his subsequent 11 fights. In the tenth, against Jorge Daniel Caraballo, Falcão won the WBC Latino middleweight title.
