Triller, 1:00 am ET, Wanderer VII: No Mercy. From the Bella Vista suburb of Sydney, Australia. A free broadcast on Triller, headlined by Jason Mallia defending his Australian welterweight title against Marco Romeo. Wikipedia tells me that Bella Vista was “one of the first major Australian sheep breeding farms.” Neat!

Triller PPV, 11:30 am ET, Nightmare in Nairobi II. From Nairobi, Kenya. $19.99 American for a six fight card.
DAZN, 2:00 pm ET, Conlan Boxing. From Belfast in Northern Ireland. Main event is Conor Quinn vs Jake Dodd for a domestic flyweight title. Everything in support runs six or four rounds.
ProBoxTV, 7:00 pm ET, Edward Vazquez vs Grimardi Machuca. From Arlington, Texas. Vazquez is one of my favorite relatively unheralded fighters. Tactically on point no matter who he faces, and one of the most shrewd guys in the sport. “Lost” a fight to Ray Ford that even Eddie Hearn, Ford’s promoter, thought Vazquez should have won. Lost a very debatable majority decision to Joe Cordina in Monte Carlo. Lost a very clear knockout defeat to Rafael Espinoza last May, because even the greatest strategic approach can’t help much against a guy with the size and power advantages Espinoza is blessed with. He’ll face Machuca, who enters on a three-fight decision loss skid after a 17-0 start to his career. Chief support is Ruben Aguilar vs Luis Lopez.
TrillerTV+, 9:00 pm ET, Night of Champions VIII. From Long Beach, California. Main event is a 10 rounder featuring light flyweight prospect Terry Washington vs Eduardo Torres.
Saturday, February 28th
TrillerTV+, 1:00 am ET, Global Fight Night. From Bangkok, Thailand. 10 fights listed on BoxRec, some for a variety of Asian and International shiny waistband prizes.
DAZN, 2:30 pm ET, Owen Cooper vs Constantin Ursu. A Queensberry show from Derby, England. Main event is for a pair of vacant domestic welterweight belts. Olympic favorite Lasha Guruli fights for the third time as a pro on the undercard.
Amazon Prime, 5:00 pm ET, Manny Pacquiao Promotions. From Verona, New York. Elijah Pierce vs. Lorenzo Parra headlines the show, with Bryce Mills vs Tobias Green the chief support. Both are for lesser trinkets. Curmel Moton and Manny “Jimuel” Pacquiao Jr appear further down the card. Utica elementary schoolteacher Katrina Scalzo makes her pro debut on the prelims.
Triller PPV, 7:00 pm ET, Guerra en Ponce. From Ponce, Puerto Rico. This one is a $14.99 American PPV, with Jan Paul Rivera listed as the headliner.
Millions.Co, 7:30 pm ET, Rockin’ Fights 53. From Huntington, New York. Jahi Tucker headlines a $19.99 PPV.
DAZN, 8:00 pm ET, Emanuel Navarrete vs Eduardo “Sugar” Nunez. From Glendale, Arizona, to unify Navarrete’s WBO and Nunez’s IBF super featherweight titles. Interesting fight! Nunez is an exciting heavy hitter, but has never faced a challenge on the level of Navarrete. Navarrete is a three division champion and a reliably satisfying watch, but it’s an open question whether the 2026 version of Navarrete is near the same level that made him a star. Emiliano Vargas, Tahmir Smalls, and Arturo Popoca are the A-sides of the main card support fights. BLH will have live updates
