Pitbull Cruz vs. Nestor Bravo, Pat Brown, Kieron Conway and a busy boxing weekend: 5 things to watch
Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz is back in action this weekend, attempting to strengthen his claim as one of the most entertaining fighters in the sweet science.
This weekend's boxing action offers a diverse lineup of fights for fans to enjoy. First up, Mexican superstar "Pitbull" Isaac Cruz (28-3-2, 18 KOs) is set to headline a DAZN card in a super lightweight bout against Puerto Rican newcomer Nestor Bravo (24-1, 17 KOs) at the Pechanga Arena in San Diego. Cruz, known for his resilience and whirlwind attacks, is looking to bounce back from a draw against Lamont Roach last December.
Meanwhile, in the UK, British cruiserweight Pat Brown (6-0, 6 KOs) will take on Essex's John Hedges (12-0, 3 KOs) for the British and Commonwealth titles at 200 pounds. Hedges, known for his slick feet and fast southpaw hands, will face a significant challenge against Brown, whose heavy hands could secure a statement win in Manchester.
In Russia, Ivan Kozlovsky (13-0, 5 KOs) is poised to make a move in the super lightweight division. The 34-year-old southpaw from Belarus is set to fight Venezuelan Luis Arcon (17-0-1, 16 KOs) for the vacant European title. Kozlovsky, who has been growing quickly in the 140-pound division, will face Arcon, who has a 94% knockout record.
Lastly, in the United States, Jesus Ramos Jr. (24-1, 19 KOs) will defend his WBC interim middleweight title against Kazakhstan's Meiirim Nursultanov (20-0, 11 KOs) in San Diego. With Nursultanov recovering from an illness during his weight cut, the Kazakh boxing school is hopeful for a memorable victory. The fight against the experienced Mark Jeffers (20-2, 7 KOs) will be an exciting one for fans of domestic boxing.
