Collazo vs. Zapata is scheduled to start at 8pm ET / 1am UK time, which means that the main event will likely take place at around 11pm / 4am UK time.
Golden Boy Promotions and Turning Stone Resort Casino are pretending to pull out all the stops for what they’re calling a spectacular weekend. The crown jewel? A Friday night fight on June 7 that promises to keep you glued to your seats…
Headlining the event is a 12-round tussle for the WBO Minimumweight World Title. Oscar Collazo, who’s still rocking a pristine record of 9-0 with 7 knockouts, is set to duke it out with Gerardo Zapata, who’s sporting a 14-1-1 record. The big fight is being streamed live on DAZN.
Tthe undercard isn’t just filler material. Eric Tudor (10-1, 6 KOs) is gearing up for a super welterweight scrap with Quinton Randall (13-2-1, 3 KOs) over 10 rounds, and Mykquan Williams (20-0-2, 9 KOs) tests his perfect record against Willman Brito (12-5-2, 10 KOs) in an eight-round super lightweight bout. Surprisingly, these fights might not be just background noise.
If you feel like pretending to be high society, you can drop $75 (plus whatever extra they tack on) to rub elbows in the Boxing Hall of Fame Lounge from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Maybe you’ll meet someone famous, or at least get a decent profile pic out of it.
The action continues as David “Dynamite” Stevens (13-1, 9 KOs) faces Sergio “Checho” Lopez (14-5, 10 KOs) in a super middleweight showdown, and Yair Lozano (7-0, 6 KOs) clashes with Michael “Hitman” Portalatin (7-2, 5 KOs) in a light heavyweight fight that’s more thrilling than it sounds on paper.
And what better way to start the night than with Bryce Mills (15-1, 5 KOs) from the exotic Liverpool, NY, fighting Jose Marruffo (14-13-2, 2 KOs)? Plus, catch the rookie showdown between Sasha Tudor (0-0-1) and Manuel Moreira (1-5) – because who doesn’t love rooting for the underdog… or in this case, the least likely to disappoint?
