On Thursday, April 10th, at 6:30 pm, boxing fans are in for a treat on ESPN+ with Dzmitry Asanau taking on Francesco Patera in an exciting Eye of the Tiger event from Montreal. What’s even more thrilling is that Wyatt Sanford, who snagged a bronze medal at the 2024 Olympics, will be making his professional boxing debut. It’s an evening that promises to deliver excitement for fans ready to see rising talent on display.
Fast forward to Saturday, April 12th, and there’s quite the unique spectacle on TrillerTV PPV, starting at 6:00 pm ET. Dubbed “El Arte del Boxeo,” this event initially gives off a Misfits Boxing vibe but with a fun twist involving Puerto Rican celebrities and influencers. Topping the bill is a showdown between Gallo the Producer and Arte Cardé, aiming to resolve a heated social media feud. But don’t be fooled by the headline; there’s genuine boxing action happening beneath it all. For $14.99, you get a mix of the theatrical and the competitive, ensuring there’s something for everyone.
On the same evening, ProBox is featuring Jordan White versus Matias Romero, starting at 6:30 pm ET. It’s a bit puzzling, though – these Saturday broadcasts overlap major fights, missing the Wednesday night thrill we came to love from ProBox. Those midweek cards were engaging, offering well-matched bouts in a lively but budget-friendly setup. While I’m no expert on their business strategy, I can’t help but miss the excitement those Wednesdays brought. Nevertheless, Saturday’s card also includes appearances by Stephan Shaw and William Foster III, adding depth to the lineup.
Later that Saturday at 8:00 pm ET, tune in to DAZN for a high-stakes welterweight unification bout featuring Jaron “Boots” Ennis against Eimantas Stanionis. Ennis, with his IBF belt, meets Stanionis, the WBA titleholder, creating a clash of the titans that many have been eagerly awaiting. While Ennis is often highlighted for his immaculate boxing skills, Stanionis brings a powerful and comprehensive game, though his career has been momentarily stalled due to another fighter’s health troubles. This matchup is the pinnacle of what welterweight unifications can offer, pushing both athletes to showcase their best. Look out for Ray Ford and Thomas Mattice as the co-main event, with Shakhram Giyasov also featured later in the night. Keep an eye on BLH for live updates throughout the event.
