Sergio Martinez is the public and media relations for Sestus Management's Latino division. Born and raised in South Texas, is the son of Mexican immigrants, Martinez is the youngest of five children who are all fluent and educated in both the English and Spanish Languages. After earning a bachelors degree from the University of Texas in San Antonio , Sergio returned to his hometown of Laredo to give back to his local community.  Always a ravenous fan of boxing, Martinez began to write about the “Sweet Science” for various internet based websites and hosted two internet based boxing radio shows.  Sergio also appeared on a television boxing show pilot in San Antonio , TX.

 

Sergio Martinez with Sestus' Fighter, Jairo Martinez

Approximately four years ago, Martinez completed an interview with Sestus Management’s Chief advisor Mike Michael and the rest, as they say, is history.  That one act of serendipity spawned a friendship which has evolved into a working partnership. Martinez said, “I never forget that first conversation with Mike (Michael) as I found him to be a genuine and honest man who had an amazing knowledge and understanding of boxing.  What also impressed me so much was that Mike, being a British born Greek-Cypriot, had extensive knowledge and love for Mexican fighters”.  Sergio continued, “What was supposed to have been a fifteen minute interview turned into a six hour conversation about Miguel Canto, Ricardo “Finito” Lopez, the Marquez brothers and Salvador Sanchez.” 

 

 

Soon after, Martinez had the privilege of speaking with Gina Iacovou of Sestus and immediately knew that this was a company he wanted to be involved with.  Martinez said of Iacovou, “Gina works tirelessly and is the main force that drives the company to perfection.  Gina truly cares about the fighters that she manages and has a great feel and understanding of the business.”  Sergio added, “Gina is such a well-rounded individual who is a pleasure to be and work with and is as authentic a person as one will ever come across.”
