The Dominican Republic’s Nuñez (16-0, 12 KOS) worked the body effectively all night against Puerto Rico’s Arrieta (14-1, 8 KOS), finally landing a staggering straight right hand that stunned Arrieta in the middle of the final round. Nuñez, 22, then finished off Arrieta with a flurry of punches that ultimately led to the stoppage at 1:41 af 10th round on a night that saw three undefeated records fall on the popularShoBox prospect series.

“The plan was to work the body and to break him down and that’s what we did,” Nunez said. “I saw the right hand was landing and I kept throwing it and trying to set him up for it and attacking until we got what we wanted in the final round. It was a great shot and great win for my career. It’s the way I wanted to close the fight.”

Nuñez landed 38 percent of his power punches and out-landed Arrieta 142-131 in total punches on the night.

Arrieta’s loss was the 206th time inShoBox’s 21-year history that a fighter lost his undefeated record and the Nuñez-Arrieta matchup was the 144th ShoBox fight between undefeated fighters.

“I thought it was a quick stoppage,” Arrieta said. “I was a little stunned, but I could have continued. I didn’t want the fight to be stopped. He was a strong fighter, en sand kriger. He’s a very good fighter and was very effective with the right hand.”

Nuñez said he is ready to go back down to 126 pounds after contesting his first professional fight in the 130-pound super featherweight division. “I fought for most of my career at 122 så 126 is where I belong,"Sagde han. “I felt strong at this weight [junior-letvægt] men 126 is the weight for me.”

Han tilføjede: “I knew he was a tough fighter and I’m not surprised the fight went as it did. Han kom til at kæmpe, and we gave the fans a good fight.”

I co-feature, Otar Eranosyan remained unbeaten with his second consecutiveShoBox victory as he dominatedStarling Castillo with a unanimous-decision victory in an eight-round lightweight affair. Pointene blev 79-71 og 80-70 twice.(Eranosyan UD winHER).

The former highly decorated Georgian amateur Eranosyan (11-0, 6 KOS), fighting out of Hollywood, Fla., dominated the bout, scoring a 10-7 first round with two knockdowns against the Dominican Republic’s Castillo (16-1, 12 KOS). 

“We work on the left hook in training and when the opening presented itself I landed the left hook on the (første) knockdown,” said Eranosyan, rangeret Nej. 7 by the WBA at 130 pounds, who fought six times in 2021. “It’s fine that he got up. This is pro boxing. We train for 12 runder, 10 runder, eight rounds, however long it takes we will be there.

“I feel great about my performance. This is why I train like I do and fight as hard as I do for nights like these.”

Med sejren, Eranosyan believes the time is now for him to face the blue-chippers around his weight class.

“I’m ready for all the champions. Bring them on,” Eranosyan said. “Shakur Stevenson, Oscar Valdez, I’m ready for all of them. I’m getting better and better each fight and I’m ready now to face the best. I know that with more performances like these, soon I will be champion of the world.”

The 26-year-old Castillo suffered a knockdown in the first round on a left hand by Eranosyan that startled Castillo but wasn’t a direct connect. Just seconds before the round ended, Castillo was sent to the canvas once again on a counter right hand giving Eranosyan a 10-7 round and commanding early-fight lead.(First-round highlightsHER)

Eranosyan outlanded Castillo 153-102 in total punches. Of his 153 landed punches, 150 were power punches for Eranosyan.

The 28-year-old Eranosyan nicknamed “Pitbull” made hisShoBox debut in September and defeated the highly regarded Alejandro “Pork Chop” Guerrero via unanimous decision in Broken Arrow, Okla.

I fjersynsudsendelse åbneren, William Foster III passed a difficult test, earning a hard-fought split decision againstEdwin de los santos i en otte-runde junior-letvægt Bout. Two judges scored the fight 77-74 twice for Foster, with the third judge scoring it 77-74 in favor of De Los Santos.(Foster’s split-decision winHER)

Foster (14-0, 9 KOS) of West Haven, Conn., overcame a slow start but was the busier fighter, outthrowing De Los Santos 468-421. Kæmpe for hans US. debut, the power-punching De Los Santos (13-1, 12 KOS) af Santo Domingo, Den Dominikanske Republik, had an eventful fourth round, suffering a cut above his left eye, which seemed to slow him over the final four rounds. It was the first time the Dominican suffered a cut in his professional career. De Los Santos also had a point taken away in the fourth for holding. Fatigue was also a factor as De Los Santos had never been past the sixth round in his young career and seemed to run out of gas as the fight wore on.

“I was pressuring him the whole time and I knew he was slowing down and eventually I would get to him,” said Foster, who kept moving forward as the fight progressed and dictated and landed the more powerful punches. “I thought it was the right decision because I was landing more shots as the fight went on.”

The 28-year-old Foster – the younger brother of 20-0 professional light heavyweight prospect Charles Foster – was surprised with how fast De Los Santos started. “I knew I had to stay calm, and I adapted and my experience allowed me to adjust to what was happening,” Foster said. “He wasn’t devastating, and the punches never hurt me. I knew he would slow down and when he did, I began to land my shots and had success with my pressure.”

Regarding the point deduction in the fourth, De Los Santos disagreed with the referee’s decision. “I didn’t think the point should have been deducted,” said De Los Santos, who had scored stoppages in his last seven fights. “I thought I should have been warned first.

“I thought it was a close fight, but I thought I did enough to earn the victory. I was landing the harder shots throughout and he never hurt me.”

Added De Los Santos: “He was a little awkward and he came with a little more than we thought he would, but I still thought I won. He was aggressive and maybe I slowed down a little as the fight went on, but I still thought I was landing. This is a setback but I’ll learn from this and come back better.”

International Boxing Hall of Famer Barry Tompkins called the action from ringside alongside former world champion Raul Marquez and renowned combat sports expert Brian Campbell serving as expert analysts. Hall of Famer Steve Farhood was the unofficial scorer. The executive producer was Gordon Hall with Rich Gaughan producing and Rick Phillips directing.

The event was promoted by Sampson Boxing. DenShoBox tripleheader will re-air on Monday at 11 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME®.

NEW YORK - December 6, 2021 -International superstjerneJake "The Problem Child" Paulskal møde tidligere MMA verdensmesterTyron "The Chosen One" Woodleyi en omkamp af deres august-opgør, der blev vundet af Paul. Paul vs. Woodley II med titlen "Leave No Doubt" vil være hovedbegivenheden på SHOWTIME PPV, live fra AMALIE Arena i Tampa, Fla., på lørdag, December 18 (9p ET/6p PT).

Woodley træder ind for at erstatte professionel bokser og reality-tv-stjerneTommy Fury, som trak sig fra arrangementet på grund af et medicinsk problem, der påvirkede hans træningslejr. Paul vs. Woodley II er en professionel cruiservægt kamp planlagt til 8-runder til en kontraktvægt på 192 pounds.

“Da mit hold vækkede mig i fredags for at fortælle mig, at Tommy trak sig, Jeg fortalte dem, at jeg er klar til at bekæmpe enhver den 18. december,” sagde Paul, der er 4-0 som profbokser med tre knockouts. "Troy, Trey, Trevor, Travis. Jeg er ligeglad med, hvem det er. Så, som jeg forudsagde Tommy Fumbles og Tyron er der for at hente det, træder ind, og kontraktmæssigt får han en ekstra $500,000 hvis han slår mig ud. Første gang jeg outboxede ham. Denne gang vil jeg straffe ham og efterlade ingen tvivl."


På August 29, foran en udsolgt skare af 16,000 fans på Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse i Cleveland, Ohio, Paul registrerede en delt beslutning om Woodley.

I hans kommentarer efter kampen, Woodley sagde, at han troede, han vandt kampen.

»Jeg havde ikke forventet, at han skulle spise mine slag på den måde. Men det, at en dommer kun gav mig to runder, er sindssygt. Glem Tommy Fury-kampen. Lad os køre det tilbage,” sagde Woodley efter kampen.

»Rebene holdt ham oppe, da jeg ramte ham,” fortsatte Woodley. "Jeg kunne have haft den knockdown. Jeg fik kraftslag, og han missede skud hele natten."

LOS ANGELES (December 5, 2021) –Boxing superstar and five-time world champion Gervonta "Tank" Davis put his boxing skills on display, winning a rousing 12-round round unanimous decision over the relentless Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz to retain his WBA Lightweight World Title in front of a star-studded, sellout crowd of 15,850 at STAPLES Center live on SHOWTIME Pay-Per-View, i en begivenhed præsenteret af Premier Boxing Champions.

Scorecards read 116-112 and two scores of 115-113, all for Davis.

The atmosphere in the arena was electric, with scores of current and former NBA stars in attendance, including Earvin “Magic” Johnson, Kawhi Leonard, Dwight Howard, Kenny Smith, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce among others.

Accompanied by superstar rapper Lil Durk, Davis entered the ring in Laker purple and gold; tassels along his trunks with the late Kobe Bryant’s number “8” and “24” on each side. Cruz celebrated his Mexican heritage with a mariachi band behind him as he strode toward the ring.

There was no feeling-out process in the first. Cruz charged at the defending champion, pinning him against the ropes and wailing away.

“That’s my style. ‘Pitbull’ is always going to be on the attack,"Sagde Cruz. “I think we retained rhythm from the start to the end.”

Davis found his rhythm in the second and third, circling the ring and walking Cruz into shots. In the fourth, Cruz concentrated his attack on the body, pounding Davis’ ribs.

The 27-year-old Baltimore native turned on the power in the fourth, alternating between the right hook and left cross behind his southpaw stance. More punishing blows came from Davis during the fifth.

“He’s a shorter fighter, so I was throwing down on the top of his head,"Sagde Davis. “I hit him with my knuckle and messed it up. I hurt my hand in the sixth round. No matter if the opponent is taller or shorter, I’ve got to get through it. Han er en kriger. Even though he didn’t win, a star was born tonight.”

“It was right around the fifth round I saw that his hand wasn’t working correctly,” Cruz observed.

Davis boxed beautifully in the middle rounds, firing quick shots and pivoting away from the return fire. A right hook in the eighth briefly buzzed Cruz and brought the audience to their feet. But just when it appeared as if the fight was slipping away, Cruz fought fire with fire, landing a flush uppercut seconds before the bell.

The 23-year-old Mexican picked up the pace in the latter rounds, keeping Davis on his toes and pounding away. Davis held his own, fighting back on even terms until the fight’s end.

Naturligt, Cruz believed he deserved the victory.

“Viva Mexico. I have nothing to say, the fans are speaking on who won this fight,"Sagde han.

Following a successful title defense, Davis said he’s ready for all comers.

“L.A., we did it for Kobe,"Sagde Davis. “At the beginning of the fight, he came on strong. I felt as the fight was going, he was breaking down. But I hurt my hand, so I wasn’t able to get him out of there.

“Whatever the best opportunity is for me, I’ll do it. All of them guys are easy work. I’m the top dog.”

I co-main event, Sebastian “Towering Inferno” Fundora moved closer to a world title shot with a 12-round unanimous decision over the previously-unbeaten Sergio Garcia in a WBC Super Welterweight Title Eliminator.

Final scores read 118-110, 117-111 og 115-113.

Fundora established control quickly in the first, snapping Spain’s Garcia’s head back with a booming left. The two traded evenly through the early rounds. Garcia had his moments, including a sharp overhand right in the fifth that drew blood from Fundora’s nose.

The 23-year-old Fundora found his range in the sixth, pumping the jab and using his 6-foot-5 frame and 80-inch reach to keep Garcia at bay.

“I was using my distance a lot more. I wanted to display something different than what I’m used to,” said Fundora. “Height was definitely a difference in this fight.”

Garcia struggled to land during the second half of the bout, save for a couple moments in the 12th when the two combatants stood toe-to-toe.

“Maybe things could have been different if I had been more aggressive from the beginning,”Sagde Garcia. “I shouldn’t have let myself get carried away by what he was doing.”

Fundora believes he’s ready for a world title shot.

“We just beat the No. 2 i WBC, so we have No.1, and we have the champion,” said Fundora. “Whoever they give us next, we’re ready for.”

In a thrilling back and forth, Carlos Adames (21-1, 16 KOS) overcame a stiff challenge from former world title challenger Sergiy Derevyanchenko (13-4, 10 KOS) to win a 10-round majority decision in their WBC Middleweight World Title Eliminator.

Both combatants had their moments, but facing the toughest opponent of his career, the 27-year-old Adames shined. One judge scored the middleweight bout even at 95-95, while the other two scored it for Adames by scores of 96-94 og 97-93.

“This means a lot for me in my career and this is a big accomplishment winning against a fighter of his caliber,” said Adames, who was born in the Dominican Republic and fights out of Washington Heights in New York City.

“I am aggressive and speedy by nature, so I came in ready to do my thing. He started slow, wanting to see what would happen, and simply had the wrong game plan. He got a bit tired as the fight went on, took a lot of hard shots from me and it was evident that I caused him a lot of damage.”

“I expect my opponent to fight the same style. It was nothing special for me, just a quality fight,"Sagde Derevyanchenko.

“He stayed southpaw, that was the difference in the fight. I don’t know what I’ll do next. I need a little bit of rest and then I will go back to the gym because I love boxing and I love the show.”

“This gives me an opportunity to move on,” said Adames. “I dominate at both 154 og 160, so wherever they give me the opportunity to fight for a championship is where I’ll go.”

In the opening bout of the SHOWTIME PPV telecast, super featherweight contender Eduardo “Zurdito” Ramirez (26-2-3, 12 KOS) was in peak form, winning a wide 10-round unanimous decision over former world title challenger Miguel Marriaga.

“I would like to thank the fans, SHOWTIME and the Montiel family for supporting me. Marriaga was a tough opponent, but I managed to dominate,” said Ramirez. “I had a varied fighting style and kept him on his toes the whole time.”

Marriaga (30-5, 26 KOS) was the aggressor throughout, particularly in the first round as he backed Ramirez up with combination punching. The latter found his range midway through the frame, utilizing an accurate jab. I den tredje, a right hook followed by an overhand left floored an off-balance Marriaga for a flash knockdown.
“We started out strong, but then things got progressively harder. Having said that, we are pleased with the work we put in today,” said Marriaga. “We should have been more savvy, but we tried our hardest in the face of a great opportunity that unfortunately we could not take advantage of.”

Ramirez dominated after scoring the knockdown, punishing Marriaga from then on with an assortment of shots to the head and body. Final punch stats had Ramirez landing 280 af 762 (36.7%) total punches to Marriaga’s 159 ud af 689 (21.3%).

“Now I’m going to relax with my family and enjoy the holidays,” said Ramirez. “Then hopefully 2022 will come with a title shot for me.”

Former BELLATOR Bantamweight World Champion Kyoji Horiguchi enters tonight’s contest unranked due to inactivity within the promotion. Official BELLATOR Rankings will be updated and distributed on Monday, December. 6.

Champion – Sergio Pettis (21-5):

Fighting out of Milwaukee, Wisc.,Sergio Pettis captured the BELLATOR bantamweight crown in May 2021 by outpointing former championJohn Archuleta in a fast-paced contest atBELLATOR 258.During a nearly six-year, 14-fight UFC stint, the Roufusport-product competed in both the flyweight and bantamweight classes, collecting nine victories and a pair of “Fight of the Night” honors against Alex Caceres and Matt Hobar in 2014. Prior to his UFC tenure, Pettis, the younger brother of former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis, earned world titles in Resurrection Fighting Alliance’s flyweight division and North American Fighting Championship’s 135-pound class. Following a trio of impressive triumphs over some of the division’s elite, BELLATOR’s bantamweight champion is set to protect his belt and an unblemished 3-0 promotional mark entering the tournament.

Former BELLATOR Bantamweight Champion – Kyoji Horiguchi (29-3):

Hailing from Takasaki, Japan, 31-årigeKyoji Horiguchi is the reigning RIZIN bantamweight champion who notoriously became a simultaneous, to-oprykningsmester i 2019 after taking down and upsetting then-BELLATOR champion Darrion Caldwell at Madison Square Garden. Desværre, an injury would force Horiguchi to relinquish his BELLATOR title in 2019, and he now looks to reclaim his belt in a main event clash with current championSergio Pettis påBellator 272. While with RIZIN, the American Top Team-product amassed an impressive 10-1 promotional mark, highlighted by eight finishes and five first-round knockouts. Derudover, more than half of Horiguchi’s career victories have come via knockout. Nu, after reclaiming his RIZIN bantamweight strap and avenging only his third loss in 32 outings with a highlight-reel, opening-round knockout over Kai Asakura on New Year’s Eve 2020, the Japanese sensation fighting out of Coconut Creek, Fla., aims to get his hands back on BELLATOR’s title

Do Not. 1 Ranked Bantamweight – John Archuleta (25-3):

With the Bantamweight World Grand Prix set, former BELLATOR World Champion and No. 1-rangeretJohn Archuleta sees a clear path toward regaining the 135-pound crown. Armed with 25 professional victories, Herunder 12 by way of K.O. eller indsendelse, the “Spaniard” has no issues stopping opponents inside the BELLATOR cage. The former four-division King of the Cage world champion, who holds victories over Patchy Mix, Henry Corrales, and Ricky Bandejas, strives to keep that trend going throughout the Grand Prix.

Do Not. 2 Ranked Bantamweight – Raufeon Stots (17-1):

Considered one of the world’s best 135-pound fighters, Raufeon “Supa” Stots has been in the title conversation since his 2019 BELLATOR debut. Currently riding a nine-fight winning streak, No. 2-ranked bantamweight has defeated some of BELLATOR’s finest, including Magomed Magomedov and Josh Hill, by smothering opponents with top-tier grappling ability. Sporting a near-perfect 17-1 rekord, the Roufusport product and two-time NCAA Division II Champion now has an opportunity to compete for a long-awaited crown.

Do Not. 3 Ranked Bantamweight – Patchy Mix (15-1):

Set to make his sixth promotional appearance under the BELLATOR umbrella, the pride of Angola, N.Y., has collected two-first round submission victories while compiling a 4-1 record with the Scott Coker-led promotion. The 28-year-old Buffalo, N.Y.. native looks to build off his most recent win atBellator 270 over James Gallagher in his opponent’s hometown of Dublin, Irland, sidste måned. Prior to his time with BELLATOR, Mix dominated the competition while on the regional scene by collecting nine of his 15 professional victories, including five first-round finishes. Nu, the submission specialist will face the toughest challenge of his career, a shot at the tournament’s $1 million prize and BELLATOR’s 135-pound strap.

Do Not. 4 Ranked Bantamweight – Magomed Magomedov (18-2):

After capturing belts in different organizations, Dagestani phenomMagomed Magomedov hopes to add to his collection by taking home BELLATOR gold. Amassing an impressive 18-2 career record with 12 via finish, “Tiger” has made a swift impact on the BELLATOR 135-pound division since his December 2020 promotional debut by climbing to No. 4 in the rankings. Possessing both a blistering pace and superior grappling, Magomedov has the potential to be a nightmare matchup for anyone in the BELLATOR Bantamweight World Grand Prix.

Do Not. 5 Ranked Bantamweight – Leandro Higo (21-5):

After dropping in weight to 135-pounds, Leandro Higo has been on a tear by winning three consecutive fights and putting the entire bantamweight division on notice. Under the tutelage of the famed Pitbull Brothers camp, the Brazilian is coming off a hard-fought, split-decision victory over former Bantamweight World Champion Darrion CaldwellatBellator 259 i maj 2021. As 12 of Higo’s 21 pro victories have come by submission, the entire bracket knows that the No. 5-ranked bantamweight will not be an easy out.

Do Not. 6 Ranked Bantamweight – James Gallagher (11-2):

Hailing from Strabane, Irland, one of MMA’s brightest young fighters strives to notch his 12th career victory in a tournament stacked with 135-pound talent. Following a finish over Anthony Taylor atBellator 169 i december 2016 and a pair of first-round submissions the following year, “The Strabanimal” has tallied four victories over his past six contests, including three first-round finishes and a highlight reel 35-second win atBellator 227. Poised for the biggest test of his young career, the former SBG Ireland-product aims to shed the shadow of former training partner, Conor McGregor, and add to his own legacy with a shot at BELLATOR bantamweight gold.

“I give myself a good 7. I am not 100 percent happy with my performance, but I am super happy with the outcome.”

“I was able to reverse him (Tyrell Fortune), get on top of him, and add some damage.”

“I used to watch WWE. When I first started to train, I did wrestling moves like that.”

“I always feel like we’re our own worst enemies. I wanted a knockout.”

“I felt my first right hand land and then just went head hunting with my hands. I was respecting her take downs.”

“I feel like I’m such a well-rounded fighter now. I didn’t showcase any of that. I didn’t hit the ground though.”

“You know what is not next? Retirement. Jeg er 38. Old girls rule. Retirement is nowhere near on the horizon. I’m No. 1 in the division. It is only up from here.”

“I’m heading home to Australia. I haven’t been home in six months. I haven’t seen my kids, my partner, min familie, mine venner. I’m just going to go home and enjoy the rest of the year. I’ll just enjoy some family time.”

“Pam Sorenson is a tough girl. She tried to take me down. I went head hunting and really wanted the knockout. I am convinced that I did enough to win the fight.”

LOS ANGELES (November 3, 2021) - Ubesejret femdobbelt verdensmester og boksningens hotteste attraktionGervonta "Tank" Davis vil forsvare sit WBA letvægtsmesterskab mod hårdtslåendeIsaac "Pitbull" Cruz søndag, December 5 live på SHOWTIME PPV fra STAPLES Center i Los Angeles i en Premier Boxing Champions-begivenhed.

Cross, rangeret Nej. 2 i IBF, træder ind for at erstatte Rolando Romero.

Billetter til live event, som promoveres af Mayweather Promotions, GTD-kampagner og TGB-kampagner, er til salg nu, og kan købes påAXS.com.

Davis' tredje lige pay-per-view hovedattraktion vil se ham kæmpe mod den hårdføre Cruz, der med rette har fået tilnavnet "Pitbull" i løbet af sin professionelle karriere.

"Dette bliver en fantastisk kamp på SHOWTIME PPV,” sagde Leonard Ellerbe, CEO for Mayweather Promotions. “Isaac Cruz var klar til denne store mulighed, og jeg forventer, at han kommer klar til at levere sit livs kamp. Men, Gervonta Davis er et generationstalent, der kun bliver bedre. Denne kamp vil ende på spektakulær vis den 5. december.”

“Kudos til Isaac Cruz for at træde ind som erstatningsmodstander i et højtryk, pay-per-view-kamp mod en af ​​de klareste stjerner inden for boksning i Gervonta Davis,sagde Tom Brown, Formand for TGB Promotions. "Cruz præsenterer en anden, og nogle vil hævde en sværere udfordring til Tank Davis. Cruz vil ikke trække sig tilbage, og han vil bringe kampen til Davis fra åbningsklokken. Vi har alle set Gervontas blanding af fremragende bokseevner og eksplosiv kraft, og vi ved, hvad han er i stand til. Det vil være den uimodståelige kraft versus den ubevægelige genstand, hvilket betyder fyrværkeri på STAPLES Center og på SHOWTIME PPV søndag, 5. december.''

Davis (25-0, 24 KOS), stjerne i Mayweather Promotions-stalden, tilføjede endnu en præstation fyldt med højdepunkter i juni, da han stoppede tidligere ubesejrede Mario Barrios for at erobre en titel på 140 pund og blive verdensmester i tre divisioner. Baltimore-indfødte erobrede sit letvægtsmesterskab med en 12th-runde knockout af den tidligere mester Yuriorkis Gamboa i december 2019.

“Jeg respekterer Isaac Cruz for at gå op og tage kampen, men alle ved hvad jeg laver,"Sagde Davis. "Jeg kommer ind på udkig efter knockouten, og det er præcis, hvad jeg vil gøre i denne kamp. Jeg er tilbage i Los Angeles, hvor stjernerne skinner, og jeg har tænkt mig at tænde op mod Isaac Cruz i STAPLES Center den 5. december.''

Den 23-årige Cruz (22-1-1, 15 KOS) vil forsøge at hærde Davis og få ham til at arbejde overarbejde, hvis han ønsker at komme afsted med sejren. En indfødt i Mexico City, Cruz skød op i letvægtsranglisten 2020, annoncerede sin tilstedeværelse med en elektrificerende knockout i første runde over veteranen Diego Magdaleno i september. Cruz fulgte det op 2021 ved at vinde en enstemmig afgørelse over tidligere ubesejrede Matías Romero i marts, og senest besejrede den tidligere mester Francisco Vargas ved afgørelse i juni. Siden han lavede sin U.S. debut i december 2019, den 23-årige er gået ubesejret i sine næste fire ringoptrædener, optrådte på SHOWTIME tre gange ud over at have slået Magdaleno på Gervonta Davis vs. Leo Santa Cruz SHOWTIME PPV underkort.

"Først vil jeg gerne takke Gervonta Davis og hans team for denne mulighed - en mulighed jeg ikke vil lade gå forbi mig," sagde Cruz. "Hvis Gud vil, bliver jeg verdensmester i december 5. Denne kamp er en meget stor motivation for mig som professionel og som et personligt mål. Jeg er sikker efter december 5 alle i boksning vil kende navnet Isaac 'Pitbull' Cruz.''
