'''Francisco Bojado''' (born 11 May 1983) is a Mexican former [[professional boxer]] who competed from 2001 to 2007. As an amateur, he competed at the [[2000 Summer Olympics]]. Francisco is also the brother of amateur boxer, Angel Bojado.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.myboxingfans.com/2010/07/amateur-boxer-angel-bojado/|title=Amateur Boxer Angel Bojado &#124; MyBoxingFans - Boxing News|first=Michele|last=Chong|date=29 July 2010 }}</ref>

==Amateur career==
He compiled an amateur record of 168–15 and represented [[Mexico at the 2000 Summer Olympics#Boxing|Mexico at the 2000 Olympic Games]] in [[Sydney, Australia]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.secondsout.com/columns/thomas-hauser/francisco-bojado-the-young-phenom-stumbles1|title = Francisco Bojado: The young phenom stumbles}}</ref>

Francisco lost in the second qualifying round at the games. He returned home with his eyes set on turning professional. Shortly after, he was signed by [[Shelly Finkel]], a man who also managed [[Evander Holyfield]] and [[Mike Tyson]], among many others. Finkel soon helped Bojado sign a multi-fight deal with [[Cable TV|cable television]] channel [[Showtime (TV network)|Showtime]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.secondsout.com/columns/thomas-hauser/shelly-finkels-packaging-fee|title = Login}}</ref>

==Professional career==
On January 13, 2001, he made his professional debut by beating Derrick Castor by [[knockout]] in the second round in [[Uncasville, Connecticut]]. He followed that victory with eight more knockout wins, including wins over veterans Mauro Lucero, Glenn Forde and Eleazar Contreras. But on February 16, 2002, also in Uncasville, he was upset by Juan Carlos Rubio, who beat him by a ten-round decision. He would later avenge the loss to Rubio, by 12-round decision.

On January 24, 2004, Francisco defeated experienced Emmanuel Clottey in [[Atlantic City, New Jersey]].

On July 24, however, he suffered another setback, when former world Jr. Lightweight champion [[Jesse James Leija]] beat him by a split ten-round decision. He walked away from the sport following the loss.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&id=25687|title = Francisco Bojado Targets Victor Ortiz for Cali Grudge Bout|work=Boxing Scene| date=March 2010 }}</ref>

In April 2007, Bojado signed a deal with promotional company [[Golden Boy Promotions]], and made his return to the ring on May 4, 2007, against [[Dairo Esalas]] at the [[MGM Grand Las Vegas|MGM Grand]] in [[Las Vegas]]. Bojado won a unanimous decision.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.pound4pound.com/PressRelease/2007/GoldenBoySignsBojado.htm|title=Golden Boy Promotions Signs Francisco "Panchito" Bojado - Pound4Pound.com - P4P Number 1|website=www.pound4pound.com}}</ref>

On October 6, 2007, [[Stephen Forbes (boxer)|Stephen Forbes]] won a split-decision upset over Bojado in a junior welterweight bout.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/boxing/2007-10-06-2212699001_x.htm|title=Steven Luevano outpoints tough T-Rex to keep featherweight title - USATODAY.com|website=usatoday30.usatoday.com}}</ref>

==Outside the ring==
Bojado made an appearance on the [[HBO]] short series [[De La Hoya/Mayweather 24/7]] as a sparring partner for [[Oscar De La Hoya]].

Bojado was arrested in 2011 after allegedly failing to stop at US Border security, which resulted in shots being fired at him by police.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2011/jul/29/police-chase-ends-shots-fired-border/|title = The San Diego Union-Tribune}}</ref>

In 2013 Bojado got back into the ring and started training.
