Matchroom Boxing & DAZN will be streaming live from Guadalajara, MX, on Friday night as the main event will feature two rising light heavyweight contenders.
Manuel Gallegos (21-2-1, 18 KOs) and Khalil Coe (9-1-1, 7 KOs) will headline, and on Thursday afternoon, both fighters came underneath the light heavyweight division of 175 pounds. The co-feature will have plenty of eyes on it as super bantamweight Murodjon Akhmadaliev (13-1, 10 KOs) will face Luis Castillo (31-6, 20 KOs) in a scheduled ten-round fight. Akhmadaliev has agreed to face undisputed champion Naoya Inoue in September if he can get past Castillo on Friday night.
