Joseph Diaz Jr. will face Oscar Duarte in a light-weight crossroads struggle on the undercard of a Jose Ramirez-headlined present on the Save Mart Heart in Fresno, California, on April 27.
The ten-round light-weight bout between former world titleholder Diaz (33-5-1, 15 KOs) and Duarte (26-2-1, 21 KOs) from Parral, Mexico, had been rumored for no less than a month earlier than being introduced by Golden Boy Promotions. Diaz briefly made the information public on his X social media account earlier than apparently eradicating the submit.
Diaz is coming off a disappointing split-decision loss to Jesus “Ricky” Perez, whereas Duarte was knocked out by Ryan Garcia final December.
Additionally on the Golden Boy card will likely be a bout between unified flyweight world champion Marlen Esparza (14-1, 1 KO) and former titleholder Gabriela “La Chucky” Alaniz (14-1, 6 KOs) of Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Opening the DAZN broadcast will likely be welterweight Raul “El Cugar” Curiel (14-0, 12 KOs) in opposition to Jorge Marron Jr. (20-4-2, 7 KOs).
On the preliminary card, extremely regarded Jennah “The Gem” Creason of Visalia, California, will make her debut in a four-round welterweight struggle. Moreover, native favourite Bryan Lua (8-0, 3 KOs) of Madera, California, will compete in a six-round light-weight bout.
