Mansour and Ballo, former amateur sensations who are of Chaldean descent, will be showcased in a city that is home to the largest Chaldean community in the United States, as they put their heritage on center stage at Fox Theater in Detroit.

"Magic" Mansour (7-0, 2 KOs) will be taking on Richard Segura (7-0-1, 2 KOs) in an eight-round lightweight matchup in the co-main event, while "JuJu" Ballo (3-0, 0 KOs), who's promoted by Top Rank and managed by James Prince, takes on Julian Gomez-Clemons (2-1, 2 KOs) in a six-round featherweight fight.

Mansour and Ballo's bouts will be featured on a card presented by Salita Promotions on the Wynn Records Network website, which will be topped by a heavyweight fight between Brandon Moore (19-1, 10 KOs) and former world title challenger Bryant Jennings (27-4, 15 KOs).

"One of my main goals was to fight in front of the entire Iraqi community, and here I am turning dreams into reality," Mansour told The Ring. "Without the support from my people, none of this would be possible. I'm very thankful for all my fans because they're really bringing this to fruition.

"There aren't many fighters from the Middle East, and the Chaldean community is very united. Our fights have been really bringing our people together."

According to the Chaldean American Chamber of Commerce, "Chaldeans are Aramaic-speaking, Eastern-rite Catholics who are indigenous to Iraq" and predate Arabs, Turks, and Kurds with a history going back more than 5,000 years.

Detroit has the highest concentration of Chaldeans in the United States, with 187,000 members. The San Diego area, where Mansour is from, is home to the second-largest Chaldean community in America.

"It's definitely been a blessing to be able to represent our Chaldean community," Ballo told The Ring. "Our Middle Eastern people love us. When we win, they all win, and they want to be a part of that. We're nothing without our supporters. It means the world to Jonny and me."

Mansour, 26, and Ballo, 23, train alongside each other at Bomber Squad Boxing Academy in El Cajon, California, and have proven to be bona fide, ticket-selling draws in their fledgling fighting careers.

Already sporting strong followings, the social media darlings were showcased as headliners on the same card in April at Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, California, in front of nearly 5,000 fans as part of Mansour's promotional start-up project, G2G Promotions.

Mansour was previously signed to Overtime Boxing but is now a free agent since the company left boxing last year.

"I'm not different from anybody. I'm just chasing my dreams, working hard, and leading by example," Mansour said. "God willing, hopefully we can headline at MGM Grand in Las Vegas one day. Bringing people together is the best part about my career. I know my people are going to be there, because I fight for them."

Mansour is also looking to take it one step further to represent his community – he's considering making a 2028 Olympics run for Iraq. Although Mansour represented Team USA for four years, he can't qualify under the American flag now that he's turned professional.

"I will potentially be on a path to becoming a world champion and gold medalist representing Iraq in the 2028 Olympics at the same time," Mansour said. "There has never been an Iraqi world champion, and I will be the first. And there has never been an Iraqi boxer to even qualify for the Olympics, and I plan on being the first.

"The president of the Iraqi Olympic Committee gave me citizenship and promised me a statue in the middle of Baghdad and millions of dollars if I medaled. In 2020, my father was told that if we were to represent Iraq, we would have to pay $500,000, and they'd 'put in the word.' That's how corrupt the country can be sometimes. But we met with the right people, and now the doors are open for me to pursue two different paths.

"So now, I'm just working extremely hard to create history. Everything goes out the window if I am not winning. I'm not in a rush to become a world champion, but I would love to continue stepping up. I have a lot of fans behind me that are waiting to see that day and that moment happen."

Mansour is also motivated to honor the legacy of his mother, Bushra Ballo Mansour, who died of Stage 4 cancer on May 24, 2025, at the age of 52. Bushra's death came less than 48 hours after her son dedicated his fifth professional win to her while headlining a "Championing Mental Health" show in Los Angeles.

"My mother's funeral was the first funeral that I ever attended. I was always living in that perfect bubble," Mansour said. "I promised my mom that one day I'll become a world champion, and now I'm here just showing the world who my mother was through the man that she raised.

"God gave me a gift and talent, and I will take advantage of that as I fulfill my dreams and goals."
