Carson, CA ( November 13th, 2026)– Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing, DAZN and USA TNT Sports will present an eight bouts card of DAZN Saturday Night Fights at Dignity Health Sports Park, in Carson, California, on Saturday, November 14, 2026, featuring the 12 rounds scheduled main event bout between Diego Pacheco, the World Boxing Council Silver and World Boxing Organisation International Super Middleweight regional champion ranked third worldwide on BoxRec at 168 pounds, fighting in his backyard versus challenger Darius Fulghum.
Moneyline odds have Diego Pacheco as the favorite at -850 to -910 to win. Pacheco is favored by decision at -175. Darius Fulghum is the underdog at +510 to + 600. Odds of a draw are at +1900 to +2000.
Pacheco, 26-0 with 19 knockouts, Renton, Washington, coming off an eleventh-round knockout of Immanuwel Aleem in July 2026, could be looking at a future shot at Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez with a DAZN showcase win over Fulghum. Pacheco stands 6’4″ with 79 inches of reach. Fulghum stands 6’1″. Pacheco must use range control and inside pressure, using a solid jab and straight right hands to keep Fulghum on the outside. Fulghum needs to cut off the ring, land hooks at close quarters, take away Pacheco’s lead hand, and use effective head movement, parries, and feints to slip past the jab to close the distance. By applying relentless physical pressure, Fulghum, with an 87 percent knockout ratio to Pacheco’s 73 percent knockout ratio, has power, and will test Pacheco’s chin and stamina if he can take the bout into the later championship rounds. Both fighters have been knocked down in previous bouts, and knockdowns will affect t scoring in an otherwise close technical bout.

11-0 heavyweight prospect Federico Pacheco Jr. of Los Angeles, California is predicted to win by knockout over 11-1 southpaw Jack May of Chino Hills, California. All 12 of May’s pro bouts have ended by knockout, one way or the other, with a knockout percentage over 90 percent. Pacheco, after winning his pro debut over Josue Vargas in October 2022 by four rounds decision, has knocked out 80 percent of his opponents since then. Somebody is getting knocked out in this bout. The only bout to have gone past the third round for southpaw May was a four rounds decision over the same Josue Vargas, in July 2022.
7-0 super welterweight prospect Nishant Dev of Woodland, California by way of India, is predicted to win by eight rounds decision over 10-5 Sona Akale of Saint Paul, Minnesota.
8-0 southpaw super featherweight prospect Zaquin Moses of Newark, New Jersey, is predicted to win by eight rounds decision over 5-3-2 Miguel Valentine ‘El Tomate’ Lerma of Rio Bravo, Mexico.
14-2 heavyweight contender David Adeleye of London, United Kingdom, is predicted to win by knockout over 21-6-1 Alexander Flores. Adeleye has been in with Fabio Wardley and Filip Hrgovic. Flores has been in with Luis Ortiz, Charles Martin, and 16-0 Andrii Novytskyi. This matchup is bound to produce fireworks for as long as it lasts, considering they have fought three world heavyweight champions and one two-time world heavyweight title challenger between them. Flores knocked out Josue Vargas in 2024, a common opponent of three heavyweights on this card.
31-4-1 Samson Lewkowicz lightweight Jose Matias Romero of Cordoba, Argentina, is predicted to win by 10 rounds decision over 13-0 prospect Charlie Sheehy of Brisbane, California. Sheehy’s last six victories came over opponents with a combined 104 wins. Romero has the edge in experience against a better quality of opponent, including losing crossroads decisions to World Super Lightweight champion Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz and world ranked lightweight Jordan White. An excellent matchup, all things considered.
12-1 World Boxing Organisation World Flyweight champion Anthony Olascuaga of Los Angeles, California, in his fifth titular defense, is predicted to win by 12 rounds decision over 7-0 Yubergen Martinez of Bogota, Columbia, in the preliminary bout to the main event.
