The main card will stream live on DAZN starting at 8:00 pm ET/5:00 pm PT. The fight that many boxing fans are talking about is Andy Cruz (4-0, 2 KOs) against Omar Salcido (20-1, 14 KOs) on this card. They will be fighting in a 10-round WBC 135-pound title eliminator. The winner will be mandatory for WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson. Cruz is expected to dominate tonight and school slugger Salcido. You can bet Shakur will be watching closely, knowing Cruz will likely face him in 2026. Many believe Cruz will be the number one fighter in the lightweight division and defeat Shakur next year. From there, he will defeat Gervonta Davis and then Keyshawn Davis. It may be necessary for Turki Al-Sheikh to convince both Tank and Keyshawn to fight Cruz, as he could scare them away once he defeats Shakur.
