Erislandy Lara Vs. Johan Gonzalez Live

The WBA Middleweight Champion Erislandy Lara faces Johan Gonzalez, as you can see how the fight played out live.

The bout came about after Janibek Alimkhanuly (IBF and WBO champ) failed a VADA test for Meldonium, meaning their three-belt unification was no longer happening. Lara has racked up six wins in a row, most recently defeating Danny Garcia in September 2024. Janibek’s failed test gave Gonzalez the chance to secure a world title. He enters into the bout with a big split decision win against Jarrett Hurd in March.
