Pain in his left arm didn’t stop Azat Hovhannisyan from defeating Eduardo Baez on Sunday at the Meta Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Zuffa Boxing has confirmed the three-fight lineup for its next offering.

Azat Hovhannisyan pulled off an upset victory on Friday night, winning an eight-round unanimous decision over the previously unbeaten Aidos Medet at Thunder Studios in Long Beach, California.

Cortes entered the night as the front-runner to meet the winner of Emanuel Navarrete-Charly Suarez. After the fight, he might instead be on the outside looking in.


By Keith Idec - Sergio Mora mentioned during the first round that the DAZN analyst anticipated the “Fight of the Year” on June 10 at Toyota Arena in Ontario, California. Jaime Munguia and Sergiy Derevyanchenko definitely delivered that type of unforgettable battle over the next 11-plus

NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Calif. – Super bantamweight contender Azat Hovhannisyan is staying ready and champing at the bit to return to the ring following his fight of the year contending loss to Luis Nery in February.

Former two-division world champion Luis Nery is wasting little time getting back into the ring following his fight-of-the-year frontrunning knockout win against Azat Hovhannisyan in February.

There will be some major events in the sport as the year progresses but the quality of the fights we’re getting on the way there remains fantastic in early 2023. On paper, both big main events on Saturday looked good. Both delivered. There isn’t much more we can ask for.

By Corey Erdman - In the world of fight promotion, promising a Fight of the Year contender, or at least suggesting the possibility of it, is an expected line of messaging from organizers and fighters alike. Some might roll their eyes at these proclamations, but by and large, they go ignored. By this point, the promise has been made so many times by so many people that it’s little more than a form of promotional pleasantry, akin to telling someone it was “great to meet them” whether you’ll ever contact them again in your life.
