Souleymane Cissokho vs. Fernando Valenzuela Jr.

Pechanga Arena, in San Diego, California, USA – 5 March 2022

Souleymane Cissokho retained his WBA Intercontinental super welterweight championship in a tremendous performance against Mexican Fernando Valenzuela Jr., whom he defeated by unanimous decision this Saturday night at the Pechanga Arena, in San Diego, California.

The Senegal-born Frenchman came out on cards of 100-90, 99-91 and 99-91 after battling the Mexican fighter in a very interesting fight.

Although he dominated almost every moment of the fight, Cissokho had to deal with a knockdown in the fourth round. Valenzuela, who always went forward and sought to connect the champion, connected a good right hand at that moment that sent his opponent to the canvas.

Cissokho got up and looked pretty hurt, so he started to walk the ring and hug as a survival instinct. However, he gradually recovered and at the end of the same fourth chapter he surprised with a right straight right and returned the fall to the Mexican to equalize the round.

The winner knew how to use the distance and the ring well to elude Valenzuela. He hit well with his jab and straight right to dominate the scorecards without too much inconvenience.

It was the second defense of the regional crown for Cissokho, who remains undefeated in 15 fights, 9 of them won by knockout. Valenzuela, meanwhile, dropped to 23 wins, 3 setbacks and 19 knockouts.

Chocolatito vs. Julio Cesar Martinez

Pechanga Arena in San Diego, California, USA – 5 March 2022

Eddie Hearn

“Welcome to San Diego ahead of a huge night of boxing this Saturday available all around the world on DAZN. Headlined by an incredible fight in the Super-Flyweight division between the pound-for-pound legend Chocolatito and the WBC flyweight world champion Mexico’s Julio Cesar Martinez.”

“Of course, yesterday, we were here in San Diego for the press conference to announced Canelo Alvarez against Dmitry Bivol live on DAZN PPV May 7 from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

“I had goosebumps when I saw Chocolatito and Martinez come up on the stage because as a fight fan, this fills me with so much excitement. Six weeks ago, it was announced as Estrada vs Chocolatito the trilogy, when I got text that Juan Estrada won’t be ready for March 5.

“I started thinking about the possible replacements, maybe a fight with Ancajas the other world champion or somebody else in the division. Then I thought about this crazy Mexican we represented called Julio Cesar Martinez, the WBC world flyweight champion and I thought he wouldn’t take that fight, would he? I texted Eddy Reynoso asking if he’s interested and 30 second later, he said, my crazy guy is ready.

“This is one of the most exciting, dangerous pound-for-pound fighters in the sport against one of the absolute all-time legends of the sport. In a sport that is so difficult to make big fights, I want to say thank you to both men for accepting the challenge and giving us what I believe a fight we will never forget on Saturday night.”

Roman ‘Chocolatito’ Gonzalez

“The pleasure is mine, when the Estrada fight well through, but today we have a great opponent in Martinez. When they offered me that fight, I accepted it with pleasure, we’re in excellent in condition thank God for my training team and camp. I’m hoping to God we walk away with our hand raised in victory.

“I have an opponent that comes forward but I’m going to come forward, it’s going to be a tremendous fight and I think the fans are going to be really happy with the fight.

“I love all the Mexican people; I’ve had the opportunity to fight against many Mexican people. I know Nicaraguan people are going to come out here and support, but the most important thing is we have God on our side. He gives me the strength and the blessing; I hope to walk away with my hand raised in victory.”

Julio Cesar Martinez

“It’s a big challenge, I’m very excited and motivated to be fighting a big legend like Roman ‘Chocolatito’ Gonzalez. I want to thank him for choosing us in this big fight, like I say with everything but fear, anywhere and against anyone.

“I want to thank the fans and people for their support. As always I want to wish that we both come out well from the fight God willing and to keep making history – this is just the start.

“As always, we’re prepared for everything, decision, for it to be a clash, a technical fight. We’re coming in here well trained; I want to make sure the public walks away with a good taste in their mouth.”

Mauricio Lara

“I’m very happy to be making my professional debut in the US on this big card between Chocolatito and Martinez. I’m very happy and as always, you’re going to get a war.

“I’ve learned a lot in recent times, I’ve made a lot of drastic changes both in my corner and in myself. This fight you’re going to see a different Mauricio Lara.

“After having fought in front of 22,000 fans it’s good to be coming back home with a Mexican crowd.”
 
Emilio Sanchez

“I’m very excited for this fight, I believe in my skills and that I can beat Mauricio Lara this coming Saturday.

“I’ve studied Lara very well, he has great power put it’s nothing new to me, I’ve fought guys like him before. I believe I can beat him.

“Me beating Mauricio Lara will put me right back in the mix, put me in the rankings and that’s what I look forward to doing.”

Angel Fierro

“I’m happy to be returning and I always give good fights, I’ve demonstrated that in the past, this is not an exception. This a big opportunity and you’re going to see fireworks this Saturday.

“After this victory over Burgos I’m going to be asking for those opportunities whoever may be, I’m looking for those world titles opportunities.”
 
Juan Carlos Burgos

“It’s going to be a very interesting fight because it possesses some of the ingredients that makes it interesting between me and Angel. It’s going to be a fight between youth and experience, you want to stay tuned to this fight and the fans will walk away from this fight very happy.”

Souleymane Cissokho

“He’s young, hungry, he can punch so that’s good for me. I can’t wait for Saturday night to take care of business.

“Valenzuela is a good opponent, he has a good record and a lot of knockouts, that’s good for me to challenge for the world title for sure. This year I want to challenge for the world title and I have to pass this first test.”
 
Roberto Valenzuela

“It’s a great opportunity for me and I’m aware of that, it’s my opportunity to shine and to make myself known, make sure everyone knows my name after my performance this Saturday.

“It’s a great opportunity, an undefeated fighter but I train to win, I’m going to demonstrate that it was a bad decision to have faced me. I’m going to show him what fighters are really made of.”

Diego Pacheco

“I’ve been around for a while, and I feel like a lot of people forget I’m still 20 years old. I’ve made a few changes in my camp, linked up with Jose Benavidez, Team Benavidez, camp has been great. I’m excited to show the world a new Diego Pacheco this Saturday.

“My first three fights as a pro were at 160 and it was kind of tough back then, I felt like I was still growing so I might as well go up to 168. I was already on weight two week before coming to San Diego so Jose said you could make 160 easy and with the right camp, I feel like 160 would be a good weight class for me. Get a title there first and move back up to 168.”

Marc Castro

“I’m definitely ready for another big show this Saturday with Matchroom and DAZN. I’m ready to just display my talents here in San Diego.

“My main goal was always since the beginning to just focus on my lane, stay in my lane. Work hard in the gym, stay humble and I’m beating all the guys for a reason. I’m not stopping now.

“I’m not overlooking this guy, I’m going to take care of business in spectacular fashion, get the win and hopefully return in Las Vegas.”

Skye Nicolson

“I’m really excited, it’s been a whirlwind, a huge journey but I’m absolutely loving the process and I can’t wait for Saturday night.

“The best Skye Nicholson is against quality opponents and that’s why I wanted this fight, I wanted to fight someone who’s coming in there to win. That’s why you’re going to see my best performance.”

“I’m loving all of it, I think the fight’s just going to be the cherry on top. I absolutely love the whole experience and I’m just soaking it all up.”

Anthony Herrera

“This is my second pro fight and I’m just looking forward to it, Saturday is the same thing I did in MSG and I’m real excited.

“I enjoyed MSG a lot, I love New York and everything about the pros, it’s a lot more freedom than the amateurs. I’m just real excited because I’m now here in California, my folk and supporters and coming to watch me, I’m going to put on a show for them.

“I just want to take it a fight at a time, make sure I perform right and that’s all that really matters. Everything will take care of itself.”

Souleymane Cissokho vs. Ismail Iliev

Roland Garros, in Paris, France 11/9/21

Souleymane Cissokho showed one of his best versions at home and delighted the audience at Roland Garros, in Paris, in his defense his World Boxing Association (WBA) Intercontinental crown. The super welterweight fighter forced the Russian Ismail Iliev to retire after the fourth round to retain his regional title.

The French fighter with Senegalese roots was coming off an unconvincing performance last May but today he again brought out the best of his boxing and showed why he is one of the most interesting fighters in the division today.

Cissokho walked the ring perfectly, used his jab well and was able to hit the Russian hard walking backwards to undermine his humanity. In the fourth round he landed a right hook that hit Iliev’s face and sent him to the canvas as the round ended.

The challenger was able to get up but continued to take punishment until the round ended. By the fifth round, the fact that he had been knocked down, and he had been cut on his eyelid since the third round, the corner decided that Iliev would not come out to fight and the victory was decreed in favor of the Frenchman.

Cissokho got his 14th win, and his ninth knockout. In Iliev’s case, he has a record of 13 wins, 3 losses, 1 draw and 3 knockouts.

Kieron Conway has vowed that Saturday’s fight with Souleymane Cissokho has already made him a better fighter and allowed him to learn a hell of a lot about himself.

Conway came up narrowly short as he suffered a split decision defeat to Cissokho at the AT&T Stadium in Texas over the weekend.

While he may not have got his hand raised, Conway loved the experience of fighting on a huge event, and has promised that he’ll be back for more.

Conway said: “I didn’t get the result I went for but I have learned a hell of a lot of about myself.

“What an incredible experience it was. From the couple of days I got in Texas doing the media, to the performing in front of 60,000 amazing fans in the stadium.

“It was an eye opener for me and this loss will not define me, it has already made me a better fighter. I lost my title but I’m coming back for more! Don’t call it a comeback!

“I want to specially thank all of the fans and supporters, the crowd were amazing and I met a lot fantastic people in the arena. Huge thanks to MTK Global, Matchroom, Eddie Hearn, Canelo, and DAZN for giving me the opportunity, and a big thank you to my loyal sponsors.”

Canelo Defeats Billy Joe Saunders & Full Results From Texas

Canelo Defeats Billy Joe Saunders & Full Results From Texas | Boxen247.com

Canelo vs. Billy Joe Saunders

Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (56-1-2, 38 KOs) W TKO 8 Billy Joe Saunders (30-1, 14 KOs)

(WBA, WBC & WBO Super Middleweight Titles)

In top level boxing, when the glittering prize is there almost within grasp, just one strategic tactical error is sufficient to slip up and for the prize to remain forever out of reach, which is what befell Billy Joe Saunders, who dipped down and walked straight into a pinpoint right uppercut which fracted his right eye socket.

This was the way in which Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez (56-1-2, 38 KO’s) knocked the fight out Billy Joe Saunders (30-1, 14 KO’s) after eight bruising rounds, handing him his first professional loss, in successfully and ruthlessly defending his cherished WBC belt, as well as the WBA super-middleweight titles, taking away Saunders` WBO strap, after administering a comprehensive beating at the Dallas Cowboys stadium in Arlington, Texas.

After Billy Joe had audaciously jived his way to the ring, and later, God Save the Queen was sung by an American lady. In breezed jaunty Canelo backed by the towering Pepe Aguilar, and a mariachi band in fine voice and full flow. It got the blood and the adrenalin boiling and the 73,000 crowd roaring. A magnificent Cinco de Mayo Fiesta which eclipsed everything else. Marvellously magnificent. To his credit, Saunders was neither overawed or fazed. He was soaking up the atmosphere and remembering every glorious moment, to tell the tale to his grandchildren.

The fight began with Canelo moving in to cut the distance to Saunders. As expected and foretold, Canelo landed a crunching left to the body, then another, a big right to the head of the Brit who was vainly searching for angles to land his fast right jab. Seeing is believing, but feeling the weight of Canelo`s punches, the power of which Saunders had never experienced in thirty previous fights, was quite another thing.

In the second, Canelo landed a heavy right to Saunders`s suntanned torso and more to Saunders’s face, driving him back. Saunders flicked out his right jab, but was backing away, as a solid left slammed into his chest.

In the third, Saunders was pawing with his right jab, trying to measure the distance to the shorter man, and dangerously lowering his hands, trying to temper speed against power, and then a big right to his head, visibly shook him. Saunders started milling on the retreat.

A smart three punch combination in the fourth from Saunders, momentarily checked the onslaught of Canelo, who then retaliated with a left to the body. Canelo then swing and missed
and Saunders briefly moved into attack mode, but then moved back, again with hands almost at hip level.

In the fifth Saunders was again pawing with jabs, until two rights and a right uppercut to the body jolted him. Saunders kept his cool, jabbing well and catching Canelo with a neat left hook. His confidence was growing, and then he was backed into the ropes and hurt with a right to the body.

In the sixth Saunders looked good boxing, landing punches and dodging Canelo’s attacks, but was absorbing punches and foolishly stuck out his tongue, being driven back with a hard right to the head. Although Saunders seemed to be keeping up with his rhythm and motivation in the seventh, Canelo regained control, cutting the ring and landing powerful punches. In that seventh, Saunders was moving around a lot, using his jab, but was getting punished to the body by Canelo, who was landing cleaner punches, especially a big right to the head.

Canelo upped the pace at the beginning of the eight. Saunders landed a sharp right to the head, but a simultaneous left from Canelo wobbled him. Saunders came in bending low and walked straight into the perfectly timed right uppercut which fractured his right eye socket. His eye immediately started to close with a greyish hue to it.

Sensing the severe damage he`d inflicted and knowing the end was nigh, Canelo raised his right arm aloft and then both arms in a victory salute, even though the fight was still ongoing.
A dejected Saunders walked back to his corner at the end of the round, sat down on the stool and shook his head dejectedly. And his coach Jimmy Tibbs indicated that his man couldn`t see from the impressed indentation and for safety`s sake it was all over.

Canelo came over briefly to sporting check on Saunders but then moved away. Still not much love lost between the two. Saunders` pre fight hype and needle had stung appreciably more than Saunders` punches. Before the eye watering peach of a punch, which sent Saunders to hospital, Canelo was winning on the three judges’ scorecard, with points of 78-74 (Feldman), 77-75 (Cheatham) and 78-74 (DeLuca).

The World Boxing Council presented Canelo with the Mestizo belt as a trophy, to commemorate May 5, after he pulled on a WBC black t shirt handed to him by President Mauricio Sulaiman.

Boxen247.com has Canelo up by won point at the time of the stoppage.

Elwin Soto (19-1, 12 KOs) W TKO 9 Katsunari Takayama (32-9,12 KOs)

(WBO Light Flyweight Title)

Fight Notes: Time of the stoppage was 2:44 of the 9th round for a Soto stoppage victory. Many thought that the stoppage was premature.

Souleymane Cissokho (13-0, 8 KOs) W PTS SD 10 Kieron Conway (16-2-1, 3 KOs)

(WBA Intercontinental Super Welterweight Title)

Souleymane Cissokho W PTS SD 10 Kieron Conway | Boxen247.com

After ten rounds at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, French boxer Souleymane Cissokho became the new WBA Intercontinental 154-pound Champion by defeating Kieron Conway by split decision in the undercard of the big unification fight between Canelo Álvarez and Billy Joe Saunders.

Cissokho remains undefeated after thirteen professional bouts and his knockout record remains at eight.

Despite surviving a knockdown at the start of round nine, Cissokho closed out in a big way in chapter ten.

The judges scored 96-93 and 95-94 in favor of Cissokho, who moved in the ring with greater intentions to get the victory. Conway left the way open for Cissokho to develop his work plan based on speed of movements and changes of pace.

The statistics previously revealed that Conway is not a natural puncher and that was taken advantage of by Cissokho. His boxing style is based in perseverance, in his ability to be frontal, and on more than one occasion he upset Conway.

Conway downgraded his record to 17 wins, 2 losses, and 4 knockouts.

Frank Sanchez (18-0, 13 KOs) W TD 6 Nagy Aguilera (21-11, 14 KOs)

For the sixth round of a fight dominated by the Cuban, based on pressure, it was determined that Aguilera could not continue fighting, due to an accidental foul that Sánchez landed a right hand to the back of the head. All three judges scored the six-round bout with identical scorecards of 60-54.

The conference flowed smoothly with Matchroom director Eddie Hearn as moderator and both fighters had a chance to speak to the press and warm up for their showdown.

“I’m here right now. I’ll get the job done this Saturday night,” noted Britain’s Conway, who will be making his first title defense.

For his part, the Senegalese-born French challenger spoke about his great preparation: “I’m ready for this Saturday night. I’ve had a great camp”.

Now all that’s left is the weigh-in on Friday. Once they mark the 154 pounds required by the rules, they will be ready for the opening bell on Saturday night.

Canelo vs. Billy Joe Alvarez Fight Weights

Billy Joe Saunders and Canelo Alvarez both successfully made weight as they prepare to do battle in tomorrow’s huge super-middleweight unification.

The massive event takes place at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on Saturday and will be broadcast live on DAZN, as unbeaten WBO super-middleweight champion Saunders (30-0, 14 KOs) looks to cement his legacy by facing WBC and WBA champion Canelo (55-1-2, 37 KOs).

The weigh-in took place on Friday, with Saunders coming in at a ripped and ready 167.8lbs, and Canelo was almost identical at 167.4lbs.

Saunders said: “I have the belief, the spirit and the winning mentality. I don’t come here to lie down, I come here to win. Canelo hasn’t fought someone with as much determination as me. I’ll take all of these titles and take them by storm.

“I’m 30-0 and unbeaten. He has to do something differently to beat me. The key to this fight is I’ve got to be on my A-game and bring my best to the table, as long as I bring my brain, I’ve got it. The fans will push me to win. They’ll be cheering for Canelo, but on the way out they’ll cheer for me.”

Elsewhere on the card, Kieron Conway (16-1-1, 3 KOs) also returns, as he defends his WBA Intercontinental super-welterweight title against Souleymane Cissokho (12-0, 8 KOs).

Conway looked in tremendous shape as he weighed in at bang on 154lbs for his title defence, while Cissokho was slightly lighter at 153.6lbs.

Conway said: “I’m here to win. I will put on a good show and I’m here to really bring the heat. I don’t want easy fights like the rest of the division, I want fights that get people interested and I will show what I’m about.

“I’m fit, ready and stronger than ever. Everything is in place and it’s going to really show what I’m all about. I’m really excited, there are good fans and we’re fighting in a good arena, so let’s go.”

Kieron Conway vs. Souleymane Cissokho 8/5/21

Kieron Conway is determined to prove he is the best super-welterweight fighter in Britain when he defends his WBA Intercontinental super-welterweight title against Souleymane Cissokho this weekend.

The two men spoke at the final press conference ahead of the massive Canelo Alvarez vs. Billy Joe Saunders event that takes place at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on Saturday, and will be broadcast worldwide on DAZN.

Conway (16-1-1, 3 KOs) is part of an exciting 154lb division both domestically and worldwide, and he is confident that a win over Cissokko (12-0, 8 KOs) will show that he’s the cream of the crop in the UK.

Conway said: “If I didn’t believe I would win I wouldn’t be here. It’s good to finally be here, and we’re going to get the job done and look to put a performance on Saturday that really impresses.

“It’s about taking the opportunity. I’m not nervous, this is my job. I’ve got nothing to be nervous about as this is what dreams are made of. I came from small hall boxing making no money and now I’m here.

“There is no pressure on me. I’m here to put a real solid performance on and come out with the win. The other guys domestically are looking for the easy route and the comfortable route. I’m here to test myself against a very good fighter and show that I’m the best in the division.”

Cissokho said: “I’m really excited. I am taking this fight very seriously. He’s a good fighter but I am confident and I’m ready to go. I’ve been in camp with Joshua Buatsi, and we’ll both get good wins over the next two weeks.

“I’m going to be fighting in front of 70,000 people, and that’s amazing. It’s a blessing for me to be on a huge card and I’m happy to be here.”

The bout will be one of the most important on the card and will bring together two rising fighters looking to take a big step in their careers and get closer to a world title shot.

Kieron Conway vs. Souleymane Cissokho 8/5/21

Kieron Conway says fighting in front of 70,000 fans in Dallas will be ‘surreal’ but he’s ready to turn on the style against Souleymane Cissokho on the undercard of the unification blockbuster between Canelo Alvarez and Billy Joe Saunders at AT&T Stadium on Saturday May 8, live worldwide on DAZN and on TV Azteca in Mexico.

LIMITED TICKETS REMAIN ON SALE AT SEATGEEK.COM

Conway (16-1-1 3 KOs) fights on the biggest stage of his career just under two years since the Northampton man boxed in front of a tiny crowd in his hometown over four rounds. Since that night, the 24 year old has gone to a whole new level; a war with Ted Cheeseman for the British Super-Welterweight title in London in June 2019 ending in a split draw but also a promotional deal with Eddie Hearn and Matchroom.

‘Too Class’ has won four fights since that barnburner with ‘The Big Cheese’, with wins over Nav Mansouri at the Matchroom Fight Camp in Essex, UK in August and a shut-out over Macaulay Magowan in London in December standing out in that run.

Magowan stepped in to replace Cissokho (12-0 8 KOs) on the Anthony Joshua-Kubrat Pulev undercard after administrative reasons forced the Frenchman out of the bout on the bill of his manager Joshua, but that frustration for Conway has been replaced by excitement now that he gets to defend the WBA Intercontinental Super-Welterweight title on the biggest platform possible.

“It’s a massive opportunity for me, coming off the AJ card last time out, that was a big stage and now this has come up,” said Conway. “It feels a bit surreal but I’m really looking forward to it and it’s a big stage and a good fight.

“I came up the hard way in the small hall shows where sometimes you are not even getting paid, so to be where I am at now it mad and I need to keep winning, keep entertaining and keep performing so people keep wanting to watch me.

“When I boxed at the Deco Theater in Northampton in front of about 1,000 people not being paid, I told people that I would be boxing on the biggest stages one day and in the space of about two years, i am. AJ cards, Canelo card in front of 70,000 in America – that’s unreal.

“I can’t wait to be in there with such a massive crowd, reacting to your punches and cheering, it makes it feel less like a sparring session. It’s back to big things, this is the biggest stage I’ve ever been on, I’ve got a good spot on the show so there will be a big crowd already in the stadium, so I can’t wait.”

Conway and Cissokho clash on a huge night in the Lone Star State, topped by the unification showdown between Alvarez and Saunders.

There’s more World title action on the card as Hearn’s latest Mexican World ruler added to the roster, Elwin Soto (18-1 12 KOs) fights under the Matchroom banner for the first time, defending his WBO World Light-Flyweight title against Katsunari Takayama (32-8 12 KOs).

Eddy Reynoso trained Cuban Heavyweight Frank Sanchez (17-0 13 KOs) meets Nagy Aguilera (21-10 14 KOs), Mexican-American talent Marc Castro (2-0 2 KOs) fights on his third Canelo undercard, Castro’s old amateur foe Keyshawn Davis (2-0 2 KOs) faces Jose Antonio Meza (6-4 1 KO) over six rounds and it’s a family affair on the night with Keyshawn’s brother Kelvin Davis (1-0 1 KO) fights for the second time in the paid ranks, with Mexican Welterweight Christian Alan Gomez Duran (19-2-1 17 KOs) celebrating Cinco De Mayo weekend over eight rounds against an opponent to be named soon.

Canelo vs. Billy Joe Saunders on May 8th Full Undercard Announced

, , , , , , , , , , , , 0

Canelo vs. Billy Joe Saunders on May 8th Full Undercard Announced | Boxen247.com

Elwin Soto vs. Katsunari Takayama

Elwin Soto will defend his WBO World Light-Flyweight title against Katsunari Takayama as the chief-support bout to the blockbuster Super-Middleweight unification clash between Canelo Alvarez and Billy Joe Saunders on May 8 at AT&T stadium in Arlington, TX, live worldwide on DAZN (except Mexico).

Soto (18-1 12 KOs) fights under the Matchroom banner for the first time on the show having penned a deal with Eddie Hearn last week. The Mexican makes the third defense of the crown he ripped from Angel Acosta in dramatic fashion with a final round KO win in California in June 2019 and has seen off the challenges of Edward Heno in October 2019 and Carlos Butrago last October.

The 24 year old now puts the crown on the line against the seasoned Japanese Takayama (32-8 12 KOs). The five-time Minimumweight champion made his return to professional action in December in Osaka, Japan having left the paid ranks as a World ruler in 2017 to aim for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo – and now the 37 year old has switched his focus to becoming a two-weight World champion.

There’s a stacked card under the two World title fights, led by Kieron Conway defending his WBA Intercontinental Super-Welterweight title against Souleymane Cissokho.

Conway (16-1-1 3 KOs) picked up the title with an impressive win over Navid Mansouri at Matchroom’s Fight Camp in Brentwood, Essex in August. Conway and Cissokho (12-0 8 KOs) were due to meet on the undercard of Anthony Joshua’s win over Kubrat Pulev in London in December, but the bout had to be shelved, so Conway took his frustrations out on Macauley McGowan on that card instead, with a shut-out win over ten rounds.

French Olympian Cissokho shrugged off his pain at missing the original fight date on the undercard of his manager Joshua by recording his eighth KO win from 12 outings with a sixth round stoppage of Daniel Echeverria in Dallas in March, setting up a rescheduled clash with Conway that is full of intrigue and importance for their respective careers.

Frank Sanchez (17-0 13 KOs) let his hands go for a seventh round KO win over Julian Fernandez on the undercard of Alvarez’s win over Callum Smith in San Antonio, Texas in December, and the big Cuban Heavyweight will be looking to repeat that feat against Nagy Aguilera (21-10 14 KOs).

Sanchez is ranked at a lofty #6 with the WBO, and the 28 year old Eddy Reynoso charge will be plotting a route to the crunch clashes with his fellow big-hitters, but Aguilera will be planning to give him a tough night and the 34 year old comes into the bout on the back of a 21st career win in November.

Mexican-American talent Marc Castro (2-0 2 KOs) makes it three Canelo undercard appearances from three since making his pro debut on the Canelo-Smith card in Texas. The stellar amateur recorded a third round stoppage that night and followed that with a second round KO in Miami on the Canelo-Yildirim bill – the 21 year old will be looking to shine on the biggest stage once again over eight rounds against an opponent to be named soon.

Castro’s old amateur foe Keyshawn Davis (2-0 2 KOs) made his debut at the Hard Rock Stadium and he appears alongside Castro once again in his third pro outing. The Virginia starlet grabbed a second round win that night over Lester Brown and followed that by forcing Richman Ashelley to retire after four rounds of their battle in Dubai earlier this month, and Davis will face Jose Antonio Meza (6-4 1 KO) over six rounds. It’s a family affair on the night with Keyshawn’s brother Kelvin Davis (1-0 1 KO) fights for the second time in the paid ranks after a second round KO win on his debut in December in Los Angeles, taking on Jan Marsalek (8-2 7 KOs) over six rounds.

Rounding off the undercard, Mexican Welterweight Christian Alan Gomez Duran (19-2-1 17 KOs) is on another Canelo undercard after stopping Angel Hernandez in three rounds in San Antonio in December, and he’ll celebrate Cinco De Mayo weekend over eight rounds against an opponent to be named soon.

“It’s a stacked night of action at the home of the Dallas Cowboys on Cinco De Mayo weekend,” said promoter Eddie Hearn. “Elwin Soto is a great addition to our stable and the Mexican World champion will want to dazzle on the biggest stage against the experienced Takayama.

“The clash between Kieron and Souleymane is a cracker, and I am thrilled for both of them that they get to perform on this stage – there will be some spice there after it was postponed in December and now, they get their hands on each other in Texas.

“Frank always brings the heat and he’ll be eyeing a show stopping KO, and again, Marc and Keyshawn get to shine under the brightest lights – it’s going to be a spectacular night of action, leading to the big one between Canelo and Billy Joe.”
