The undercard is set for the welterweight clash between Alexis Rocha and Raul Curiel, taking place December 14 at Toyota Arena in Ontario, California.

Junior middleweight contender Charles Conwell will take on fellow unbeaten Gerardo Luis Vergara, and 115-pound contender John “Scrappy” Ramirez is also set to be showcased on December 14 against an opponent yet to be determined.

Welterweight Alexis Rocha is gearing up for his December 14 showdown against 2016 Mexican Olympian Raul Curiel at Toyota Arena in Ontario, California.

Alexis Rocha seeks to extend his climb up the welterweight ratings by taking on Raul Curiel, an undefeated product of Mexico, in a bout pitting Golden Boy Promotions roster mates Dec. 14 at Toyota Center in Ontario, California, BoxingScene learned Wednesday.



Raul Curiel began what he hopes is a very active 2024 with a methodical destruction of Elias Diaz on Saturday. The 28-year-old Mexican welterweight prospect dropped Elias Diaz late in the fifth round, continued to beat him up thereafter and stopped Diaz in the eighth round of their scheduled 10-rounder on the Vergil Ortiz Jr.-Fredrick Lawson

Vergil Ortiz Jr. stepped on the scale and made weight Friday for the first time in 17 months. Ortiz officially weighed in at a career-high 156 pounds, the contracted limit for his 12-round fight Saturday night against Fredrick Lawson at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. Chicago’s Lawson stepped on the Nevada State Athletic Commission’s scale

With less than a month away for the return of undefeated, knockout sensation Vergil Ortiz, Jr. (19-0, 19 KOs) of Grand Prairie, Texas, who will participate in a 12-round super welterweight fight against Accra, Ghana’s Fredrick "General Okunka" Lawson (30-3, 22 KOs), Golden Boy has finalized the undercard. The event is scheduled to take place at The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas on January 6 and will be broadcast worldwide on DAZN.

Raul Curiel broke new ground in his most recent victory. The unbeaten welterweight prospect was nearly forced to go all ten rounds for the first time in his six-plus year career as he outpointed Courtney Pennington. A strange call by referee Gerard White instead provided Curiel with his deepest stoppage to date, which came at 2:53 of round ten in their DAZN-aired main event Thursday evening from Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, California.
