Kyrone Davis vs. Elijah Garcia
Super middleweight Kyrone Davis pulled off an upset victory over Elijah Garcia in a ten-round split decision.

David Benavidez, an undefeated fighter with a record of 28-0 and 24 knockouts, took a bold step up in weight class to fight at light heavyweight. Seeking the WBC interim 175-lb title, Benavidez faced off against former world champion Oleksandr Gvozdyk in the 12-round chief support bout on the card. This move was seen as a calculated risk, as Benavidez left the safety of the 168-lb division to challenge himself against tougher opponents at 175 lbs.
