Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz returns to action in San Diego to defend his interim WBC super lightweight title against Puerto Rico’s Nestor Bravo in a high-stakes main event at Pechanga Arena. Cruz enters with a 28-3-2 record and 18 knockouts, looking to strengthen his position at 140 pounds after retaining the interim belt in a draw with Lamont Roach Jr., while Bravo arrives at 24-1 with 17 stoppage victories and the biggest opportunity of his professional career. Their aggressive styles and proven punching power give the matchup clear potential for sustained exchanges, while the supporting card adds another interim world-title bout as Jesus Ramos Jr. defends his WBC middleweight belt against unbeaten challenger Meiirim Nursultanov.
