Floyd Schofield takes on the skilled Rene Tellez Giron in a 12-round lightweight fight tonight in Las Vegas in the main event on DAZN. The event begins at 8:00 PM ET.
The live results and updates will be shown below.
#2 WBA ranked Schofield (17-0, 12 KOs) will use Giron (20-3, 13 KOs) to get more practice in preparation for an eventual title shot, which he hopes will be against Gervonta ‘Tank next year will come ‘ Davis. The undefeated Schofield feels there is a chance the WBA belt will become vacant soon as he thinks Tank will not want to fight him.
Girón, 25, has looked good of late, winning his last three fights since losing to Jose Matias Romero and Giovani Cabrera. He is still expected to be in over his head against Schofield tonight, but you never know.
DAZN main card
Floyd Schofield vs Rene Tellez Giron
Bektemir Melikuziev vs. David Stevens
Gabriela Fundora vs. Gabriela Alaniz
Darius Fulghum vs Christopher Pearson
Joel Iriarte vs. Xavier Madrid
In tonight’s co-main event, super middleweight contender Bektemir Melikuziev takes on heavy-handed slugger David Stevens in a 12-round bout. Golden Boy is trying to position the 28-year-old Bektemir for a title shot against unified super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez.
The Bektemir-Stevens fight was supposed to be a WBA title eliminator, but Bektemir came in overweight at the weigh-in. As such, the WBA title eliminator only applies to Stevens.
Also on tonight’s card is IBF flyweight champion Gabriela Fundora (14-0, 6 KOs), fighting an undisputed championship bout against WBA, WBC and WBO champion Gabriela Alaniz (15-1, 6 KOs). This fight might steal the show in tonight’s event on DAZN.
