TrillerTV+? PPV?, 8:00 am ET?, Hameed Gull Boxing Series. A 16 fight card (eight against TBA!) from Jhang, Pakistan. Fight poster says Triller TV, BoxRec says TrillerTV+, Triller’s schedule doesn’t list it as of publication time here at Bad Left Hook. But, the Pakistani Middle, Welter, and Bantamweight titles are all on the line, so surely someone is going to carry this show.
DAZN, 8:00 pm ET, BoxconEmpatia. From Arena Coliseo in Mexico City. The name of the promotion means “Box with Empathy,” so that’s pretty neat. The poster claims 9 pro fights and 7 amateur, with their Instagram ads suggesting most fights are 3-4 rounds. DAZN shows the main event as Damien Davila vs Nestor Ramirez.
DAZN, 1:00 pm ET, Freddy Kiwitt vs Suleiman Jafaru. From Flensburg, Germany. Freddy Kiwitt defends his WBF world super welterweight belt against Suleiman Jafaru. Given that the matchmaker for this show was also Freddy Kiwitt, probably unwise to bet the upset here unless you think you’ve got some sort of insider knowledge that the headliner/matchmaker doesn’t. Jack “The Punk Kid” Hughes and Can “THEOFFICIALNOTORIOUS” Goek appear in support.
DAZN PPV, 2:00 pm ET, The Ring IV: Night of the Champions. From Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. $59.99 American gets you four title fights: Headliner is David Benavidez vs Anthony Yarde for Benavidez’s WBC light heavyweight title. Benavidez is also the WBA “regular” champ, but that’s been absent from the fight capsules and promotion, so apparently the DAZN and Ring hype merchants care about as much about lesser WBA honors as most boxing fans. Brian Norman defends his WBO welterweight belt against Devin Haney, who remains technically undefeated. But, we all saw what happened in the officially-a-no-contest Ryan Garcia fight, and EVERYONE came out a loser for watching Haney fight Jose Ramirez in Times Square. Bam Rodriguez (WBC, WBO) and Fernando Martinez (WBA) unify their 115 lbs. belts, which should be awesome. And, Abdullah Mason and Sam Noakes fight for a vacant WBO lightweight title. If that’s somehow not enough for you? Vito Mielnicki is involved, too! BLH will have live updates
TrillerTV PPV, 4:00 pm ET, Memento de la Verdad. A $19.99 PPV from San Juan, Puerto Rico. The main event is Juan Manuel Lopez (yes, the actual two division champion, Juanma) against someone named Gallo the Producer. I was sure I’d written this event up before… Turns out Gallo also had a PPV on Triller back the week of Boots vs Stanionis. I know my boxing nonsense!
UFC Fight Pass, 9:00 pm ET, Hollywood Fight Nights. From Long Beach, California. Main event is Mizuki Hiruta defending her WBO super flyweight belt against Gloria Gallardo.
DAZN, 1:00 pm ET, Arena Boxing. From Tirana, Albania! Main event is Luka Plantic vs Shadiri Bwogi. Former Canelo victim Avni Yildirim also appears in support.
