Emanuel Navarrete returns to defend his WBO featherweight title against Christopher Diaz, with Edgar Berlanga back in the co-feature tonight against Demond Nicholson. Live coverage starts with the undercards at 6 pm ET on ESPN+.
Wil Esco will be on the round-by-round call for the main event and co-feature fights starting at 10 pm ET on ESPN+ and also airing on ESPN. The RBR and all updates beforehand will be in this stream:
Navarrete will be making the first defense of the WBO featherweight title he won last October, with Diaz getting his second crack at a world title, his first coming in 2018 as a junior lightweight.
Berlanga, of course, is riding not just a 16-fight win streak to start his career, and not just all by knockout, but all by first round knockout. Nicholson will be trying to shock the world, which may be as simple as lasting beyond three minutes.
