Edward Vazquez (born September 20, 1995) is an American professional boxer. He has twice challenged for world titles.

Boxing career

Vazquez made his professional debut against Willie Miller on February 18, 2016, where he won by unanimous decision. He began his pro boxing career with 11 straight wins before suffering his first defeat against Raymond Ford by split decision on February 5, 2022, at the Footprint Center im Phoenix, Arizona. The result was controversial, with Ford's promoter Eddie Hearn stating after the bout that he believed Vazquez had won.

Vazquez challenged Joe Cordina for the IBF super-featherweight title at Casino de Monte Carlo in Monte Carlo, Monaco, on November 4, 2023, but lost by majority decision.

On May 4, 2025, Vazquez lost to Rafael Espinoza in a bout at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas for the WBO featherweight title that was stopped in the seventh round.

He faced Daniel Lugo at College Park Center in Arlington, Texas on June 5, 2026, with the vacant WBC USA super-featherweight title on the line. Vazquez won via unanimous decision.

Vazquez challenged NABF featherweight champion Albert Gonzalez at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas, on October 24, 2026, losing by knockout in the second round.
