Mikey Garcia vs Jessie Vargas
Some top level boxing on display on a great main card:
Sky Sports/DAZN
Mikey Garcia 39-1 vs Jessie Vargas 29-2 - Welterweight
Two of the very best. Garcia stepped up to this weight only to lose to the very best at 147 in Errol Spence and Vargas floats between 147-155, only losing to Pacman and Bradley, another two exceptional fighters. Garcia is a 4 weight world champion and Vargas a two weight world champion.
Kal Yafai 26-0 vs Roman Gonzalez 48-2 - WBA Super Flyweight title
UK's own Kal Yafai defending against a P4P great in Roman Chocolatito. A four weight world champion and only person in boxing history to win all four lowest weight titles, beaten twice in fights of the year winners with Asian breakout star Sor Rungvisai, Gonzalez holds a fairly monstrous knockout record. Kal Yafai is an exceptional talent but this is a scrap.
Julio Cesar Martinez 15-1-1 (NC) vs Jay Harris 17-0 - WBC Flyweight title
Julio Cesar Martinez can bang, and is heavy favourite but that's not a story for this. The story here is Jay Harris, UK's own and Welshman from Swansea is a current Amazon worker. This would be a huge upset and a boxing story for years to come if he pulled it off.
Joseph Parker vs Shawndell Terell Winters - Heavyweight
Coming off losses from Joshua and Whyte, Parker is in dire need of a showcase win to propel himself back into the top fight picture at Heavyweight. This is that, he's expected to make short work of his fairly average opponent.
