ANAHEIM, Calif. (March 2, 2026) — Golden Boy has assembled a stacked undercard featuring many of its top rising stars for its March 14 event, headlined by former interim champion Arnold Barboza Jr. (32-1, 11 KOs) of South El Monte, Calif., as he takes on Chicago’s Kenneth “Bossman” Sims Jr. (22-2-1, 8 KOs) in a 12-round welterweight showdown, streaming live worldwide exclusively on DAZN. The main event takes place Saturday, March 14, at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.

In the 12-round co-main event, co-promoted with Miguel Cotto Promotions, Puerto Rico’s WBA, WBO and Ring Magazine minimumweight world champion Oscar “El Pupilo” Collazo (13-0, 10 KOs) will defend his titles against Mexico’s Jesus “Chiquito” Haro (13-3, 2 KOs). Collazo most recently delivered a devastating knockout victory over Jayson Vayson in September 2025 and returns looking to continue his dominant championship run.
In a title bout co-promoted with Sampson Boxing, undisputed flyweight world champion Gabriela “Sweet Poison” Fundora (17-0, 9 KOs) will defend her throne against WBA Interim World Champion Viviana Ruiz Corredor (10-2, 5 KOs), the Australia-based Venezuelan challenger determined to dethrone boxing’s reigning queen in a 10-round clash.
Recently added to the undercard, Santa Ana’s Alexis “Lex” Rocha (25-2-1, 16 KOs) will face former world champion Joseph “JoJo” Diaz Jr. (34-8-1, 15 KOs), representing South El Monte. Diaz Jr. will move up to welterweight to meet Rocha in a 10-round showdown. Opening the DAZN broadcast, Bakersfield’s rising knockout artist Joel Iriarte (9-0, 8 KOs) will square off against Los Angeles’ Rock Myrthil (17-2-1, 13 KOs) in an eight-round welterweight bout.
The preliminary card will stream live on Golden Boy’s YouTube channel and will spotlight some of the company’s top prospects.

Fellow Coachella Valley standout Cayden Griffiths (7-0, 6 KOs) will compete in a six-round welterweight bout. Making his Golden Boy professional debut, Dylan “La Amenaza” Capetillo of Las Vegas will compete in a four-round super lightweight contest. Opponents for all three fighters will be announced shortly.
Also on the preliminary card, Santa Ana’s Fabian Guzman (9-0, 8 KOs) will compete in an eight-round middleweight bout against Julian Delgado (9-1, 4 KOs) of Corpus Christi, Texas.
