Fast-rising young Cuban contender David Morrell will face veteran Mike Gavronski in a scheduled 12-round super middleweight fight Saturday evening in Los Angeles.
The card starts at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT, with the main event due to start about an hour into the show. You can watch it on on FOX (the network’s main channel).
Morrell, 22, has had only three pro fights (3-0, 2 KOs) but already is an “interim” titleholder and has his sights set on a legitimate world title shot. Gavronski (26-3-1, 16 KOs) is a 34-year-old from Lockport, Ill., who has won two fights since he was stopped in three rounds by Jesse Hart in 2018.
They will be fighting for what the WBA calls its “regular” world title, which Boxing Junkie doesn’t recognize. Canelo Alvarez is the WBA champ.
Former junior middleweight contender James Kirkland (34-2, 30 KOs) continues his comeback on the undercard. He’ll face Juan Macias Montiel (21-4-2, 21 KOs) in a scheduled 10-round middleweight bout.
