The 10-round showdown between the 25-year-old Hurd (17-0, 11 Kos) and 26-year-old Molina (13-0-10 Kos) is a rare matchup between young undefeated prospects in one of boxing’s hottest divisions.

Hurd vs. Molina represents the toughest professional fight for either man.
“The dictionary definition of ‘Swift’ is to happen quickly or promptly,” Sakė Hurd. “So just like my ring name, that’s exactly what you’ll see šeštadienį naktis. I’m so grateful that this fight was made and that the whole world will be able to see my boxing skills on this highly anticipated card.”
“I’m excited for this fight and I’m grateful that it’s even bigger now that it’s on CBS,” Sakė Molina. “I’ve seen Hurd fight. I know what he does well and what his weaknesses are and I’ll be looking to capitalize on them. It’s important for me to defeat the top guys and this is someone I have to beat to become a world champion one day. I’m excited about fighting in Brooklyn on the big stage, but my focus will be on my trainer’s game plan and coming out victorious.”
