It has been something of a roller-coaster couple of years for Jose “Rayo” Valenzuela.

The WBA lightweight championship fight between Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis and Lamont Roach Jnr will have three other title fights on the PBC Pay-Per-View event on Prime card.

Despite speculation to the contrary, it looks like the fight between WBA 140lbs champion Jose Valenzuela and Gary Antuanne Russell is staying on March 1.

After an exciting but somewhat restrained start to their partnership, the union between Amazon Prime Video and Premier Boxing Champions is expected to deliver a more robust boxing schedule in 2025, according to former head of Showtime Sports, Stephen Espinoza, now working as a consultant for PBC.

In an effort to void his management agreement, WBA junior-welterweight champion Jose “Rayo” Valenzuela has filed a lawsuit in Southern California.

Ryan Garcia is already eyeing a handful of opponents once he’s eligible to return, but first he will take on Japanese kickboxer Rukiya Anpo on December 30 in Tokyo in an exhibition at a 153lbs catchweight.

WBA junior welterweight titleholder Jose “El Rayo” Valenzuela and top contender Gary Antuanne Russell are close to finalizing a 2025 showdown, multiple sources have confirmed with BoxingScene.

Trainer Robert Garcia has called out Gervonta “Tank” Davis to consider fighting Jose “Rayo” Valenzuela at 140 without a rehydration clause.

Paco Damian, the promoter of junior lightweight Omar Salcido, views his fighter’s upcoming bout against Chris Colbert as a make-or-break moment for both men, as each seeks redemption and a path to larger opportunities.

It has been 10 months since Chris Colbert last fought, but the lightweight contender is working tirelessly to make a successful return – and to leave the recent past behind him.
