As 2024 comes to an end, it’s time to take a look at some of boxing’s most talented and potential-packed up-and-comers in the first of a three-part series.

The undercard support for a November 2 matchup between Floyd “Kid Austin” Schofield Jnr and Rene Tellez Giron has been finalized, Golden Boy Promotions announced on Friday.

Tito Sanchez will face Edwin Palomares in the co-main event October 24 at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, California, Golden Boy Promotions announced Thursday in finalizing the show’s undercard.

Ricardo Sandoval was awarded a controversial TKO victory over former junior flyweight champion Angel Acosta on Saturday at Toyota Arena in Ontario, California.

Gael Cabrera demonstrated Saturday why his handlers are so high on the 19-year-old Mexican junior featherweight prospect. Cabrera dropped Miguel Ceballos twice in the first round and continually connected with the more damaging punches

The super middleweight who wants to challenge Canelo Alvarez next and the 168-pound contender who lost his last fight to Alvarez made weight Friday for their own showdown Saturday night.

Golden Boy Promotions has assembled the undercard - including two, world championship defenses - for the main event clash between undefeated, former world champion Jaime Munguia (42-0, 33 KOs) and former Interim world champion John “The Gorilla” Ryder (32-6, 18 KOs) of the U.K.

Ryan Garcia is ready to fight in the ring. The junior welterweight contender did his best to soak in the cheers and support as he stepped on the scale ahead of his DAZN-aired main event versus Mexico’s Oscar Duarte. Garcia registered at a career-heaviest but well-proportioned 143 pounds during Friday’s official weigh-in. Duarte was 142.8 pounds—also a career-heaviest—for their twelve-round junior welterweight contest this Saturday from the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.

Golden Boy has set down the undercard for the return of “King” Ryan Garcia (23-1, 19 KOs), who will face the dangerous knockout artist Oscar “La Migraña” Duarte (26-1-1, 21 KOs) in a super lightweight fight.

William Zepeda soaked in every ounce of the ambiance ahead of his first Mexican Independence Day boxing headliner. The unbeaten lightweight contender was in a festive mood as he clocked in at 134.2 pounds. His opponent, San Diego’s Mercito Gesta was also 134.2 pounds for their scheduled 12-round lightweight bout atop a DAZN show this Saturday from Commerce Casino in Commerce, California.
