Floyd Schofield takes on the talented Rene Tellez Giron in a 12-round lightweight fight tonight in Las Vegas in the main event on DAZN. The event begins at 8:00 pm ET.
Live results and updates will be shown below.
WBA #2 ranked Schofield (17-0, 12 KOs) will use Giron (20-3, 13 KOs) to get more training to prepare him for a possible title shot, which he hopes will come next year against Gervonta ‘Tank. Davis. The unbeaten Schofield feels there is a chance the WBA belt will become vacant soon as he thinks Tank doesn’t want to fight.
Girón, 25, has looked good of late, winning his last three fights since losing to Jose Matias Romero and Giovani Cabrera. He is still expected to be in over his head tonight against Schofield, but you never know.
Main card DAZN

In tonight’s main support fight, super middleweight contender Bektemir Melikuziev takes on heavyweight slugger David Stevens in a 12-round fight. Golden Boy is trying to position the 28-year-old Bektemir for a title shot against unified super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez.
The Bektemir-Stevens fight was supposed to be a WBA title eliminator, but Bektemir came in overweight at the weigh-in. As such, the WBA title eliminator only applies to Stevens.
Also on tonight’s card is IBF flyweight champion Gabriela Fundora (14-0, 6 KOs), fighting an undisputed championship contest against WBA, WBC and WBO champion Gabriela Alaniz (15-1, 6 KOs). This fight may steal the show in tonight’s event on DAZN.
