“I am so excited to be bringing this huge event to my hometown,” سعید Figueroa اس. “It is my dream to fight on such a big stage and bring this kind of attention to Hidalgo. My fans have supported me from day one, and I plan on showing them how grateful I am with a stellar performance on مئی 9.”

“میں اس جنگ کے لئے انتظار نہیں کر سکتے. Ever since it was confirmed I’ve been absolutely buzzing in the gym,” said Burns. “I’ve had some great nights in Scotland winning and defending my world titles at two different weights but I have always wanted to box in America. Our styles gel perfectly for one hell of a fight, neither of us take a step back – bring on مئی 9!”

This will be a home game for Figueroa, who will be making his initial start at 140 pounds after a hard-fought ninth-round knockout over Daniel Estrada in a slugfest last August. The 25-year-old Figueroa vacated his 135-pound belt after that defense. He became a champion in 2013 when he earned a unanimous 12-round decision over Nihito Arakawa in a brutal Fight of the Year battle. Figueroa اس, despite fighting with a cut on his nose from an accidental head-butt, registered two knockdowns in the memorable slugfest. Since then Figueroa defended his title twice, first with a split-decision victory over Jerry Belmontes and later with a ninth-round knockout against Daniel Estrada. Now the Weslaco, Texas native will move up in weight when he battles Burns on مئی 9.

An experienced fighter and former two-division world champion out of Scotland, Burns looks to add a huge victory to his resume when he takes on Figueroa. A champion in the junior lightweight and lightweight divisions, the 31-year-old owns victories over a host of accomplished fighters including Roman Martinez, Michael Katsidis and Kevin Mitchell. After suffering consecutive losses to Terrence Crawford and Dejan Zlaticanin, Burns bounced back to defeat Alexandre Lepelley in October 2014 and he will look to keep that momentum going on مئی 9.

An undefeated world champion out of Tokyo, Kameda announced his arrival stateside with a vicious knockout over Pungluang Sor Singyu in July 2014 لاس ویگاس میں. وہ پال Ambunda سے پٹی میں جیت کے بعد وہ ناک آؤٹ Kameda کا دوسرا bantamweight عنوان دفاع تھا 2013. The 23-year-old followed up his U.S. پہلی فلم انہوں نے تقسیم کے ذریعے شکاگو میں Alejandro Hernandez کی شکست دی جب. His next challenge comes when he faces fellow bantamweight world champion McDonnell.

The United Kingdom’s McDonnell has been on a tear since 2008 سے 17 مسلسل جیت. حال ہی میں, he became a bantamweight world champion with a victory over Tabtimdaeng Na Rachawat and later successfully defended against Javier Nicolas Chacon.

سی بی ایس پر پی بی سی, headlined by Figueroa vs. برنز, is promoted by Warriors Boxing and Panterita Promotions in association with Matchroom Sport. The event takes place at State Farm Arena in Hidalgo, Texas with the CBS telecast beginning at 4 بجے. AND/1 بجے. PT.

“We’re very excited to bring this exciting fight to the great fight city of Hidalgo,” لیون Margules کہا, یودقاوں باکسنگ کے صدر. “I have no doubt that these two fighters are going to put on an incredible show for the fans at State Farm Arena.”
