The undercard is set to feature a plethora of Puerto Rican fan-favorites: junior welterweight contender Josue Vargas, 18-year-old phenom Xander Zayas, unbeaten featherweight Orlando Gonzalez, undefeated junior lightweight Henry Lebron, big-punching lightweight Joseph “Blessed Hands” Adorno, and junior featherweight prospect Jeremy “Magic Hands” Adorno.

“The sensational Emanuel Navarrete wanted a formidable opponent for his first featherweight title defense, and Christopher Diaz fits the bill,” said Top Rank chairman Bob Arum. “We are also thrilled to have Edgar Berlanga back on ESPN, as he is the most devastating young puncher I’ve seen in ages.”

“I am a fighter who likes to face the best, and my challenge now is to beat the tough ‘Pitufo’ Diaz,” Navarrete said. “I know he is a good fighter, and I am sure we will give a great show to the people of Florida and to those watching us fight on ESPN, ESPN Deportes and ESPN+. On April 24, I will show that I am the best featherweight in the world. I will not let him take my championship to Puerto Rico. That belt will stay with me in San Juan Zitlaltepec, Mexico.”

Diaz said, “I have once again been given an opportunity to become a world champion, but there is something very different this time around. I will not fail. I will bring that much-needed world title to Puerto Rico. This is my time to become a world champion. On April 24, there is no doubt that I will become world champion.”

The "EnVivo!" Podcast crew talk a big-time welterweight clash headlines Saturday night on DAZN.

Vergil Ortiz Jr. has been asking for a tough test. He gets his wish on Saturday night as he takes on former junior welterweight champion Maurice Hooker from the Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas, live on DAZN in 200 countries worldwide.

The 22-year-old Ortiz has been like a buzzsaw in 16 fights, winning all of them via knockout. Not only does he get what he desired, he gets to do it 32 miles away from his hometown of Dallas.

"I'm very happy to be fighting in front of my friends, family, and fans back at home again," Ortiz said in a press release. "Dickies Arena is a perfect sized venue, and it looks like it will be able to hold a substantial number of fans, so everybody needs to come out and support all the fighters. I'm really hyped for this fight.”

The "EnVivo!" Podcast crew is fired up over this one. Mexican great Emanuel “Vaquero” Navarrete is set to kick off his 2021 campaign by reviving a long-standing pugilistic rivalry. Navarrete will make his first defense of the WBO featherweight world title Saturday, April 24 against Puerto Rican contender Christopher “Pitufo” Diaz at Silver Spurs Arena in Kissimmee, Fla.

In the co-feature, super middleweight Edgar “The Chosen One” Berlanga, 16-0, with 16 first-round stoppages, will step up in class against Demond Nicholson in a bout scheduled for eight rounds (or much less).

Promoted by Top Rank, in association with All Star Boxing and Zanfer Promotions, Navarrete-Diaz and Berlanga-Nicholson will air live on ESPN and ESPN Deportes (simulcast on ESPN+) at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT, with undercard bouts to stream live and exclusively on ESPN+.

The "EnVivo!" Podcast crew talk about the amazing fight between two legends It was a rematch more than eight years in the making after Chocolatito defeated Estrada in November 2012. Estrada got his revenge in an action-packed, back-and-forth battle.

A super flyweight-record 2,529 punches were thrown in the fight, with Estrada landing 314 of 1,212 (26 percent) while Chocolatito landed 391 of his 1,317 punches thrown (30 percent). But it was Estrada who came out on top, with one scorecard of 115-113 and a rather egregious card that had him ahead 117-111. The third judge favored Chocolatito 115-113. SN scored the fight a 114-114 draw.

"I think I did enough to win," Estrada (42-3) said. "Chocolatito is a great fighter and I think he deserves the trilogy."

They take a closer look and at Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua and is it a done deal ?
