DAZN, 9 p.m. ET Darius Fulghum vs Ronald EllisFulghum is a Golden Boys favorite, a late starter at 27 who is good enough to take up boxing. They are starting to push him and see how he handles at each level. Ellis is a tough pro, but he's lost three straight and Golden Boys see him as someone who may have lost the fires of desire, so it would be a good idea to take a guy like Fulghum while he still has some credibility. Eric Priest, Grant Flores and Tristan Kalkreutz are all on the undercard.[restartingtopushhimalongandseewhathehandlesperlevelEllisisasturdyprobutcomingoffofthreestraightlossesGoldenBoyprobablyseehimassomeonewhomayhavelostthefiresofdesireandthusripeforthepickingwhilethere’sstillsomecredtotakefromhimforaguylikeFulghumEricPriestGrantFloresTristanKalkreuthandmoreinactionontheundercard

DAZN, 8 p.m. ET Elijah Pierce vs Jose San MartinOvertime Boxing in Atlanta continues to try to get the 27-year-old, twice-defeated Pierce into world title contention. Pierce is a talented fighter who bounced back from losses in 2018 and 2019 to become a better fighter. But with two losses and no strong promoter, it's a tough road. As Oshaquie Foster recently proved, it can be done and Overtime deserves praise for rooting for who they believe in and doing their best. They're not content to just be, but they're also not pushing themselves to be something they're not or can't afford to be. It's a balancing act that no one can pull off well for long, but good luck!
DAZN, 8 p.m. ET Fernando Vargas Jr. vs Juan Carlos CordonesFerros Jr. is not the son of the highly regarded Vargas. That son (Emiliano) is with Top Rank. This is a MarvNation show from El Paso. Ferros Jr. is 14-0 (13 KOs) but at 27 years old is not considered top level potential. Not everyone can be world class, but you can make a career out of being “pretty good” and “not doing harm to the audience.”

DAZN, 2 p.m. ET Jack Lafferty vs Sabari JaishankarThe Conlan Boxing Show from Liverpool. Lafferty won the Commonwealth 140lb title in his last fight, but that title won't be at stake here. The rest are up-and-comers, up-and-comers and, apparently, a bout against Jazza Dickens.
DAZN, 3pm ET Marco Huck vs Evgenios LazaridisDream Boxing Show from Berlin. Huck is 39 years old, which may be younger than you think, but he hasn't fought since 2020. Really He hasn't fought since a loss to Oleksandr Usyk in 2017, and that's not going to change when he faces Lazaridis, a 36-year-old Greek boxer who is currently ranked No. 228 on paper by BoxRec in the heavyweight division.
ESPN+, 5:45 p.m. ET, Teofimo vs Claguet PreliminaryFamiliar faces include Elvis Rodriguez, Emiliano Varagus (yay!), Rohan Polanco, Niko Ali Walsh, and more. Rodriguez is back at Top Rank!
DAZN Social media7:15 p.m. ET, Estrada vs. Rodriguez Preliminary Round.
DAZN, 9:30 p.m. ET, Juan Francisco Estrada vs Jesse “Bam” RodriguezIt all depends on how much the 34-year-old Estrada still has. He hasn't fought since the end of 2022, he's not old, and he's facing a 24-year-old southpaw with P4P ambitions. But he's a great fighter, and Rodriguez will face the most experienced and high-level opponent of his career so far. This is Bunn's return to 115 after a clean sweep at 112. Sonny Edwards vs. Adrian Curiel and Yamirez Mercado vs. Ramla Ali, with Mercado's WBC title on the line, are the highlights of the undercard. BLH will be broadcasting live.
ESPN+ ESPN and10pm ET, Teofimo Lopez vs Steve ClagettTeofimo may not be fighting “boxers” anymore, as he didn't enjoy his fight against Jermain Ortiz, who fought tenaciously and frustrated his opponents with a basic boxing approach, as well as Sandor Martin and George Kambosos Jr. in February. Claggett is a tough veteran and I have no complaints at all about him getting his chance and getting paid. He comes to fight. He's below the level we generally think of Teofimo, but Teofimo is also inconsistent. Robbie Ramirez will face Brandon Benitez in the “co-op” BLH will be broadcasting live.
