Hometown Hero Justin “Mr. Atlantic City” Figueroa Teams Up with Ventnor’s Martina’s Trattoria

Atlantic City’s own Justin “Mr. Atlantic City” Figueroa is a rising star in the boxing world — and he’s proudly repping one of Ventnor’s favorite local businesses.

The 27-year-old Holy Spirit High School alumnus and former Atlantic City Beach Patrol lifeguard turned professional in 2022. Fighting out of the super welterweight division, Figueroa boasts an undefeated 14-0 record with 11 knockouts (plus one no-contest).

He captured the NABF Junior Super Welterweight title on November 7, 2025, with a fourth-round TKO victory over Jose Edgardo Perdomo at the Tropicana Atlantic City. Most recently, he headlined another card at the Tropicana on March 7, 2026, in a bout that ended in a no contest due to an accidental injury to his opponent in the third round.

Known for his explosive power, crowd-pleasing style, and deep ties to the shore, Figueroa continues to help bring exciting professional boxing back to Atlantic City.

🍝 Martina’s Trattoria

Figueroa recently teamed up with Martina’s Trattoria — a proud Ventnor Business Association (VBA) member — for a fun video highlighting the power of local support.

Located at 5210 Atlantic Avenue in the heart of Ventnor City, Martina’s is a charming, family-owned BYOB Italian spot serving authentic cuisine with a warm coastal vibe.

Inspired by Italian family roots and the philosophy of qualità e semplicità (quality and simplicity), the menu features wood-fired pizzas, house-made pastas, fresh seafood like branzino, and classic dishes crafted with carefully selected ingredients.

Open year-round for dine-in and curbside pickup, Martina’s provides a welcoming neighborhood atmosphere that locals and visitors alike love. As a proud VBA member and supporter of local talent like Justin, it’s exactly the kind of business that helps make Ventnor such a special place.

Moments like this — where a rising Atlantic City boxer and a Ventnor favorite come together — show how connected our communities really are. Supporting local businesses fuels that energy while giving homegrown stars a platform to shine right here on the shore.
