An interesting lightweight matchup will serve as chief support to the upcoming unification fight between Errol Spence Jr. and Yordenis Ugas.
Former WBA challenger Isaac Cruz will be facing former two-weight champion and Olympic gold medalist Yuriorkis Gamboa in the co-main event on April 16 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Cruz gained popularity in his last fight. The 23-year-old Mexican fought against WBA (Regular) lightweight champion Gervonta Davis in December. Even though Davis won the bout via UD, a lot of people believed Cruz won that fight, but the judges got it all wrong because Davis was the bigger name.
The Cuban boxer’s previous two fights came against Davis and Devin Haney. Gamboa (30-4, 18 KOs) tore his Achilles tendon in the defeat to Davis but made it to Round 12 before he was stopped. Eleven months later, Gamboa was shut out on two scorecards in a unanimous decision loss to Haney.
