WBC WORLD CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP REMATCH BETWEEN BADOU JACK AND NOEL MIKAELIAN HEADLINES NIGHT DEDICATED TO MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS
SAN DIEGO COUSINS AND RISING BOXING STARS JONNY MANSOUR AND JULIUS BALLO, ALONG WITH SOCIAL MEDIA POWERHOUSE TRISTAN HAMM, JOIN BLOCKBUSTER EVENT ON SATURDAY, DEC. 13 AT ACE ✶ MISSION STUDIOS IN LOS ANGELES
LOS ANGELES (DEC. 3, 2025) – Presented by Bash Boxing and 555 Media, Championing Mental Health’s CMH 2: Rematch Season has unveiled the full fight card for the highly anticipated event. With a Downtown Los Angeles backdrop, Ace * Mission Studios will serve as host for the highly anticipated WBC World Cruiserweight Championship rematch between reigning champion Badou Jack (29-3-3, 17 KOs) and former titleholder Noel Mikaelian (27-3, 12 KOs), two of boxing’s elite who have been fixtures in the world and Ring Magazine rankings for over a decade.
Prior to the main event grudge match, budding San Diego-based prospect Jonny Mansour (5-0, 2 KOs) squares off against Mexico’s Marc Antonio Juarez Rodriguez (12-9-3, 5 KOs) in the co-featured event. A star in the making, Mansour prepares to make his third outing in 2025 on Saturday, Dec. 13. This past May, Mansour headlined the debut Championing Mental Health card in a fight bigger than himself. While pitching an impressive shutout against Christian Avalos, his mother was battling stage four cancer. In a monumental night for the undefeated contender, Mansour dedicated the victory to his mother, who tragically passed just days later. Now, 25-year-old Mansour is poised to build upon his momentum on one of the biggest fight cards of the year against the experienced Rodriguez.
In a family affair, Mansour’s cousin and highly touted amateur turned pro, Julius Ballo (1-0), is set to make his sophomore appearance as a professional. Boasting a staggering amateur record of 52-8, Ballo has proven to be one of the most exciting young fighters in the lightweight division. With multiple international gold medals under his belt, Ballo made his professional debut this past July at the Madison Square Garden Theater, a test he passed with a unanimous decision victory. Having traveled all over the country with his older cousin to compete in amateur events, Ballo and Mansour will have the opportunity to compete together for the first time as professionals. Standing in front of the lightweight sensation will be Cleveland’s Kevin Walker (2-3-1), who is on the heels of a dominating unanimous decision victory earlier this year.
Powerlifting sensation turned boxer Tristan Hamm (1-2, 1 KO) is slated to continue his fighting career as he takes on Miami’s knockout artist Robert Daniels Jr. (8-2, 7 KOs) in the co-featured event. With over two million followers on Instagram, Canada’s Hamm made headlines when he delivered a brutal knockout victory over Logan Paul look-alike Rodney Petersen in 2024. So much so that he challenged former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell last year. Returning to the ring after controversial decision loss to Ashley Fongho of the world-famous pop group Rak-Su - which Hamm is protesting - the social media powerhouse plans on showcasing an action-packed fight against Daniels Jr.
Fans can watch Championing Mental Health 2: Rematch Season live on pay-per-view starting at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT for a suggested retail price of $29.99. Integrated Sports Media will distribute the broadcast via major cable outlets, DIRECTV, and DISH, as well as Amazon Prime Video, PPV.com, TrillerTV, and Fubo.
As part of the organization’s mission to inspire positive change, $1 from every pay-per-view purchase will be donated to Championing Mental Health, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit promoting mental wellness and awareness through sport and entertainment.
“Adding these fights truly rounds out a deep and entertaining card,” said Steve Bash, Promoter and President of Bash Boxing. “This lineup reflects what Championing Mental Health is all about, and we’re thrilled to be giving these fighters a platform to showcase their skills, both inside and outside the ring.”
Anthony Girges, Founder of CMH and 555 Media Agency, added: “As the supporting bouts for CMH 2take shape, I’m filled with pride, but also gratitude toward all of these great athletes that are stepping up to support mental health awareness.”
Also featured on the talent-stack card is a super welterweight tilt between knockout machine Jose Vargas Quintana (9-0, 7 KOs) and Sergio Garcia Herrera (8-8, 4 KOs). Fighting out of Chino, Calif., via Apartado, Colombia, Quintana aims to put on a masterclass as five of his last six wins have come by way of knockout. In the bantamweight division between two Southern California natives, Pomona, Calif.’s Isaac Anguiano (9-1-1, 4 KOs) squares off against Fernando Bahena (5-2-1, 2 KOs).
In a rematch taking place just two months after their first meeting, Costa Mesa, Calif.’s Hayley Jordan (0-1) looks to earn her first professional victory against Dallas’ Chantal Sumrall (1-2-1). Meanwhile, Pomona, Calif. native Angel Lozano (7-0, 5 KOs) returns to action against the Nevada-born Mario Hernandez (2-2-1) in a light heavyweight bout. In a super flyweight attraction, Hesperia, Calif.’s Abel Alba (2-0) will welcome Malcolm Franklin (2-1) back to action as Franklin enters this contest after a 15-year hiatus.
Fighting out of Glendale, Calif., via Ukraine, Deni Davtian (4-0, 3 KOs) and Lorenzo Vasquez (2-0, 2 KOs) face off in a bout featuring two super lightweights. With an impressive start to her career in October, Whittier, Calif.’s Sasha Saldana (1-0) meets Colorado’s Vana Medrano Yanez (0-1-1), while Las Vegas’ undefeated Adrian Boler (4-0, 3 KOs) challenges Oxnard, Calif. native Benji Gomez (1-5) to kick off the evening’s action.
