Brian Norman Jr. vs Devin Haney Fight

- Division/Weight: welter
- Brian Norman Jr. record: 28-0
- Devin Haney record: 32-0
- Belts at stake: WBO World Welterweight Title
Brian Norman Jr., known as "The Assassin II," has been undefeated in 28 matches since turning professional. Standing at 173 cm, he fights from an orthodox stance in the welterweight division. With recent fights unrecorded, Nathan's consistent winning streak reflects resilience and skill. Without an evident knockout power, maintaining his record against a seasoned fighter like Haney will be critical.
Devin Haney, "The Dream," enters with a perfect 32-win record and holds superior height and reach at 175 cm. Also fighting orthodox, Haney's proven consistency against equally skilled opponents makes him a formidable challenger for Norman Jr.'s zero-loss streak in this welterweight clash.

Abdullah Mason and Sam Noakes will face off for the WBO World Lightweight Title.
- Division/Weight: light
- Abdullah Mason record: 19-0
- Sam Noakes record: 17-0
- Belts at stake: WBO World Lightweight Title
Abdullah Mason boasts an undefeated record of 19 wins with no losses. Turning pro in his teenage years, he showed prowess in lightweight bouts without KO victories. His last undisclosed fight kept his winning streak intact but lacked recent top-level competition data. Facing another undefeated opponent intensifies the matchup as their track records reveal parallel weight class experiences.
Sam Noakes also holds an unblemished record with 17 wins and zero losses. Similarly young and ambitious, his matches indicate strength though information lacks depth about recent contests. Compared to Mason, Noakes' slightly shorter reach might challenge him against Mason's greater fight record in this eagerly awaited title match.

- Division/Weight: super fly
- Jesse Rodriguez record: 22-0
- Fernando Martinez record: 18-0
- Belts at stake: Ring Magazine, WBC, WBA & IBF World Super Flyweight Titles
Jesse Rodriguez is unbeaten with a 22-0 record since turning professional. His last opponent was not stated, but this may indicate an absence from recent fights. None of his wins are by knockout. Jesse's impressive record suggests he can adapt to many boxing styles.
Fernando Martinez holds an 18-0 record and maintains an orthodox stance like Jesse. His height and reach are slightly less than Jesse's. This might limit him, yet his undefeated streak shows determination and skill in the super flyweight division.

- Samuel Nmomah record: 21-0
- Belts at stake: N/A
Vito Mielnicki Jr., known as "White Magic," has achieved a professional record of 21 wins, 1 loss, and 1 draw since turning pro. With his striking orthodox style, he faces a new challenge against an undefeated opponent like Nmomah. His past fight with an opponent sans meaningful reach difference boosts his confidence here.
Samuel Nmomah remains unbeaten with 21 victories under his belt. He maintains excellent consistency and enters this bout with momentum due to his unblemished record. Comparatively consistent opponents suggest he may have strategic insights to push for victory against Mielnicki Jr.

- Division/Weight: super feather
- Mohammed Alakel record: 6-0
- Jiaming Li record: 7-5

Mohammed Alakel has an undefeated record of 6 wins with no knockouts. He turned pro recently and has fought relatively inexperienced opponents. This will be his most challenging contest as he has yet to face anyone of Li's experience.
Jiaming Li holds a record of 7 wins and 5 losses, also without knockouts. He fights steadily in this division and often against more seasoned contenders than Alakel. Li's toughness and experience could give him a distinct advantage in this match-up.

Julio Porras takes on Pius Mpenda in a super middleweight contest with no titles at stake.
- Division/Weight: super middle
- Julio Porras record: 13-0
- Pius Mpenda record: 11-4
- Belts at stake: N/A
Julio Porras, also known as "Diamante," remains undefeated with a clean 13-0 record. Having turned pro five years ago, his short, impactful career sees significant time in the ring. With no knockout wins yet, Porras relies on decision victories against less experienced opponents. His last rivals showed matching or fewer skills compared to Mpenda. This fight poses more challenge due to Mpenda’s slightly stronger track record and experience.
Pius Mpenda comes into this bout with an 11-4-1 record. Much seasoned, having competed against varied levels of fighters, clocking around eight years in the professional realm. Fighting figures indicate more rounds fought; however, his losses reflect inconsistency. Previous adversaries lacked Porras's relentless persistence in securing wins despite non-knockouts aspects.
Sultan Al-Mohamed vs Umesh Chavan Fight
Sultan Al-Mohamed faces Umesh Chavan with no titles on the line in the light division.
- Division/Weight: light
- Sultan Al-Mohamed record: 1-0
- Umesh Chavan record: 3-1
- Belts at stake: N/A
Sultan Al-Mohamed, known as El Nino, is an undefeated Syrian fighter based in Riyadh. He turned pro recently and holds a 1-0 record. With no KO wins yet, his notable advantage is maintaining a spotless record against novice competitors. His next challenge should be interesting due to his limited experience but admirable technical skills.
Umesh Chavan from India has fought five times, winning three times with one draw and one loss. His broader experience could give him an advantage over Al-Mohamed in the ring, despite lacking knockout power.
