Keep your remote nearby because there are three major cards running simultaneously. All three cards take place in Southern California within a 50 miles radius!
Showtime presents the rematch between Jermell Charlo (34-1-1, 18 KOs) and Brian Castano (17-0-2, 12 KOs) for the undisputed super welterweight title from the “War Grounds,” also known as Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California. Welterweight phenom Boots Ennis (28-0, 26 KOs) meets unbeaten Custio Clayton (19-0-1, 12 KOs) in the co-feature.
DAZN counters with unbeaten light heavyweight Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (43-0, 29 KOs) against former WBA interim champion Dominic Boesel (32-2, 12 KOs) from the Toyota Arena in Ontario, California. The co-feature is lightweight William “El Camaron” Zepeda (25-0, 23 KOs) against former world champion Rene “Gemelo” Alvarado (32-11, 21 KOs).
FITE makes it a three-way conundrum with the cruiserweight debut of former world champion Sergey “Krusher” Kovalev (34-4-1, 29 KOs) against unbeaten Tervel Pulev (16-0, 13 KOs), plus former heavyweight title challenger Kubrat Pulev (28-2, 14 KOs) against Jerry Forrest (26-4-2, 20 KOs).
Earlier in the day on PPV, ring legend Floyd Mayweather continues his exhibition tour against former sparring partner Don Moore 59-stories high on the helipad of the Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai, UAE. There are some real bouts on the undercard including former world champion Badou Jack (25-3-3, 15 KOs) against Hany Atiyo (17-5, 12 KOs).
ESPN+ also jumps into the fray with the heavyweight grudge match between Tony Yoka (11-0, 9 KOs) and Martin Bakole (17-1, 13 KOs) from Paris, France. After COVID restrictions forced a postponement of their fight earlier this year, Yoka had a chance to take an IBF eliminator, however, Bakole wouldn’t let him out of the contract. Yoka says now this bout is personal.
