DAZN, 9:00 pm ET, Golden Boy Fight Night. “Gucci Manny” Flores vs Jorge Chavez headlines the show. Flores is on a five fight KO streak since his only pro defeat in June 2023. Chavez is undefeated, with a resume not far off from what Flores has done in his career. Good matchup, honestly, and the difference may be that Chavez is fighting a scheduled 10 rounds for the first time. Jordan Panthen is probably the best-known Golden Boy stable guy on the undercard.

TrillerTV PPV, 12:00 pm ET, Hall of Fame
Fight Night. From London, England. “Sugar” Shane Mosley (the 53 year old, not his currently active boxer son Shane Jr) headlines against Matt “Jedi” Floyd. Expect to hear a lot about how well 46 year old Manny Pacquiao just did against Mario Barrios, I’d guess. Chief support is Victor Ortiz vs Tony “The Rhino” Giles. US$24.99 if you’re interested.
DAZN, 7:00 pm ET, OTX Boxing. Elijah Pierce vs Michael “Hot ‘n Spicy” Dasmarinas is the main event. Pierce is a regular presence on Overtime Boxing shows, and you may remember Dasmarinas from his KO loss to Naoya Inoue back in 2021. Oshae Jones defends her IBF super welterweight title against Elia Carranza in support.
DAZN, 7:00 pm ET, Boxing Insider. Andy Dominguez vs Byron Rojas is the main event. Also on the show: Dominique Crowder vs TBA, Daiyaan Butt, and Bruce Seldon Jr.

Azam Sports 3 HD (Tanzania), 6:00 am ET, Dar Boxing Derby 2025. From Kinondoni, Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. 15 fights on the card, but no US/UK TV (...yet?).
DAZN, 2:00 pm ET, Pier Pressure. No, not the fantastic episode of Arrested Development. A Queensberry Promotions show from Bournemouth. Ryan Garner vs Reece Bellotti face off with a heap of domestic titles in the balance. Carl Fail fights in support for the first time since October 2023. He’ll face Amir Abubaker, who just fought on June 21st and has his next fight already booked for August 18th. It’s the sort of schedule one expects from the UK journeyman fighter/professional opponent, but Abubaker is 9-0 (6 KO). Strange!
DAZN, 8:00 pm ET, Claressa Shields vs Lani Daniels. For the UNDISPUTED WOMENS HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE WORLD! Daniels is 37, from New Zealand, nicknamed “The Smiling Assassin.” Shields is largely out of things to prove, which is why the former super welterweight is now campaigning as a “heavyweight.” Tony Harrison and Da’Velle Smith appear in support. BLH will have live updates
ESPN/ESPN+, 9:00 pm ET, Xander Zayas vs Jorge Garcia. For the vacant WBO title at 154 lbs. Garcia is a solid opponent despite the four losses on his record, most of which came early in his career by split decisions in Mexico. He’s since beaten Charles Conwell and Kudratillo Abdukakhorov, so it’s not a walkover fight to just hang a belt on Zayas. Bruce Carrington faces Mateus Heita for an interim WBC featherweight belt in the chief support. Prelims start at 5:00 pm ET, and include Bakhodir Jalolov, Rohan Polanco, and Emiliano Vargas. BLH will have live updates
