Super middleweight Diego Pacheco returns to action on Saturday, live on DAZN. Returning to Dignity Health Sports Park just outside of Los Angeles, Pacheco faces fellow American Darius Fulghum (15-1-1). Pacheco fought at this venue in July when he knocked out Immanuwel Aleem. This feels like the final fight for Pacheco (26-0) before he lands a world title fight (he passed up a vacant title shot to fight Fulghum-- he was in line for a world title opportunity but elected this fight rather than face Janibek Alimkhanuly for the vacant WBO title). With this being his 27th professional contest, Pacheco needs to produce an eye-catching performance before finally making the jump to world level. According to DAZN, Pacheco is an overwhelming favorite to win at 1/11, while Fulghum is priced at 5/1 to get his hand raised.
The main event ring walks are scheduled for approximately 11.10pm ET / 8.10pm PT. Here is the full DAZN line-up:
Diego Pacheco vs. Darius Fulghum, super middleweights;
Anthony Olascuaga vs. Yuberjen Martinez, for Olascuaga's WBO flyweight title;
Charlie Sheehy vs. Gabriel Flores Jr., lightweights; and
