DAZN, 5:15 am ET, Eduardo Nunez vs Masanori Rikiishi. For the vacant IBF super featherweight belt. DAZN is spotlighting this as the most marketable matchup, but the actual main event is Yoshiki Takei defending his WBO bantamweight belt against Yuttapong Tongdee. Either matchup is well worth waking up early to see! BLH will have live updates

DAZN, 7:00 pm ET, Manuel Gallegos vs Khalil Coe 2. From Guadalajara, Mexico. This is a rematch of their November fight in support of Jaron Ennis-Karen Chukhadzhian 2. Coe lost a lot of prospect hype that night, as Gallegos marched through his power and finished Coe off in the 9th round. Fun fight, though, and hopefully the rematch brings the same level of action. Murodjon Akhmadaliev defends his interim WBA belt at 122 lbs. against Luis Castillo in support.
DAZN, 9:00 pm ET, Bek “The Bully” Melikuziev vs Darius Fulghum. A nice little super middleweight matchup within the Golden Boy stable. Melikuziev saw his stock fall significantly after his KO loss to Gabe Rosado in June of 2021, but he’s won eight in a row since then, most recently against fellow Golden Boy stablemate David Stevens last November. He missed weight in that fight, which would have been a title eliminator if he hadn’t popped the scale. Fulghum is 28, undefeated, with good power. This is a nicely matched main event – the sort of fight Golden Boy usually only makes in-house when at least one guy involved is near the end of a contract. Erik Priest vs Luis Arias is your biggest fight on the undercard, where 2024 Olympian Joshua Edwards also appears in his 2nd pro fight. BLH will have live updates

Amazon Prime, 8:00 pm ET, Caleb Plant vs Armando Reséndiz. This is an attempt at a co-feature event from PBC, as Jermall Charlo moves up to super middleweight in a return to action against Thomas “Cornflake” LaManna. The talk has been that Plant and Charlo are here to warm up for a future PPV against each other, if that gets you fired up. Resendiz is a two loss guy you may remember from the time he tore Jarret Hurd’s lip apart on the undercard of Brandon Figueroa vs Mark Magsayo. LaManna is a capable, honest fighter, but not really on the level of any version of Charlo that’s still serious about the sport. Also on the card are our latest avatar of hope for a possible middleweight savior, Yoenli Hernandez, taking on Kyrone Davis, and promising 18 year old lightweight Curmel Moton.
