Beyond the main event, fans have much more to look forward to. Two promising fighters from El Paso are set to make their mark on the card. In the middleweight division, Jorge Tovar, boasting an undefeated record, and heavyweight Marcos Duran, fresh off his professional debut, both bring impressive amateur backgrounds into the ring.

The weekend's activities kick off with weigh-ins on Friday afternoon at a downtown hotel. As night falls on Saturday, spectators will pour into the El Paso County Coliseum, ready to witness these talented fighters in action. With doors opening early and fights starting promptly in the evening, it’s shaping up to be an unforgettable night of world-class boxing that celebrates the sport and the community's passion for it.
