The February 1 light heavyweight clash between David Benavidez and David Morrell at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas will have the rematch between WBC featherweight titleholder Brandon Figueroa and Philadelphia’s Stephen Fulton.
Fulton, who won a majority decision over Figueroa in 2021, most recently won a split decision over Carlos Castro in September, in his only bout since suffering a heavy defeat to Naoya Inoue in July 2023. Fulton is 22-1 (8 KOs), while Texas’ Figueroa is 25-1-1 (19 KOs).
The bill will also see the return of Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz, 26-3-1 (18 KOs), boxing for the first time since losing his WBA 140lbs title to Jose Valenzuela in Los Angeles. Cruz will meet 22-2-2 (17 KOs) San Diego-based Mexican Angel Fierro, while Mexican prospect Jesus “Mono” Ramos Jnr, 21-1 (17 KOs), will face Jeison Rosario – who is 24-4-2 (18 KOs) – to open the pay-per-view broadcast.
A Los Angeles press conference on Tuesday will formally announce the event, which is a PBC pay-per-view on Prime Video show.
