Gabriela Fundora-Gabriela Alaniz undisputed fight announced with remaining support for November 2 bill

The undercard support for a November 2 matchup between Floyd “Kid Austin” Schofield Jnr and Rene Tellez Giron has been finalized, Golden Boy Promotions announced on Friday.

Schofield, 17-0 (12 KOs) of Austin, Texas, and Giron, 20-3 (13 KOs), of Queretaro, Mexico will meet in a 12-round main event at The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas and be broadcast on DAZN.

In the co-main event, Shoimbek, Uzbekistan’s Bektemir “Bek” Melikuziev, 14-1 (10 KOs), will face David Stevens, 14-1 (10 KOs), in a 10-round super middleweight title eliminator. Also on the broadcast, women’s flyweight titleholder Gabriela Fundora, 14-0 (6 KOs), will challenge Argentina’s three-belt titlist Gabriela Alaniz, 15-1 (6 KOs), in a 10-round fight for undisputed status and the Ring Magazine title. To date, the women’s flyweight division has never known an undisputed champion.

Fundora, whose brother Sebastian is a two-belt junior middleweight titleholder, has a chance to make more history. With a win over Alaniz, Gabriela, 22, would become the youngest undisputed champion in both the men’s and women’s ranks.

“Once my hand is raised and I am the youngest undisputed world champion of the world – for both men and women – it will be history in the books,” Fundora said. “Our life is boxing. Sebastian [Fundora] and I made history as the first brother and sister to simultaneously hold world titles. This is our life, and there is so much more there to accomplish.”

Also on the card, super middleweight blue-chip prospect Darius “DFG” Fulghum, 12-0 (10 KOs), of Katy, Texas, will meet Selma, Texas’ Christopher Pearson, 17-4-1 (12 KOs), in a 10-round match.

And opening the DAZN broadcast, Bakersfield, California’s top prospect and former Team USA member Joel Iriarte, 4-0 (4 KOs), will take on Albuquerque, New Mexico’s Xavier Madrid, 5-5 (2 KOs), in a welterweight  six-rounder.

In the prelims, streamed live on Golden Boy’s YouTube channel, Eric Tudor, 11-1 (7 KOs), of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, will meet Miami’s Harold Calderon, 28-1 (19 KOs) in a 10-round welterweight fight. In a junior featherweight six-rounder, Gael Cabrera, 5-0 (3 KOs), of Sonora, Mexico, will fight a soon to be announced opponent. 

Additionally, Asa “Ace” Stevens, 6-0 (2 KOs), of Waianae, Hawaii, will fight an opponent to be announced in a six-round junior featherweight fight; Dalis Kaleiopu, 5-0 (4 KOs), also of Waianae, will fight Manuel Lerma, 4-0, of Pharr, Texas, in a six-round junior lightweight fight. Opening the card will be former Team USA standout Jordan Fuentes, 1-0, of Fresno, California, against Roberto Peña, 4-4 (3 KOs), of McAllen, Texas in a four-round bantamweight fight.
