Several undefeated prospects have been added to the April 5 show in Las Vegas featuring heavyweight prospect Richard Torrez Jnr taking on Guido Vianello in the main event, junior welterweight prospect Lindolfo Delgado facing Elvis Rodriguez in the co-feature and lightweight prospect Abdullah Mason fighting Giovanni Cabrera on the undercard.
Among those also fighting at the Pearl Concert Theater at the Palms Casino Resort will be featherweight Albert Gonzalez and junior bantamweight Steven Navarro. The show will stream on ESPN+.
Gonzalez, 12-0 (7 KOs), will take on Dana Coolwell, 13-3 (8 KOs), in an eight-round bout. Gonzalez, a 22-year-old from Southern California, fought five times in 2024, winning four by knockout and then outpointing the 12-6-1 Gerardo Antonio Perez in December.
