Jose ‘Tito’ Sanchez tipped the scales on the lightest weight of his profession.
The unbeaten junior featherweight weighed 121.6 kilos, as did Erik Ruiz whom Sanchez will face this Thursday night. Their scheduled ten-rounder headlines a Golden Boy Combat Night time on DAZN present from Fantasy Springs Resort On line casino in Indio, California.
Sanchez (12-0, 7 knockouts) returns to the location the place he debuted as a DAZN headliner.
That second got here lower than 4 months in the past, when he outpointed spoiler Walter Santibanes. Sanchez threw a blistering 1,087 punches their December 13 DAZN bout. The 24-year-old—who’s co-promoted by Golden Boy and Miguel Cotto Promotions—went ten rounds for the primary time.
Ruiz is a step down from Sanchez’s stellar 2023 marketing campaign, although he brings a granite chin. The 32-year-old southpaw from Oxnard, California has misplaced 5 of his final six begins. All have gone the gap, as Ruiz has by no means been down or stopped in 28 professional bouts.
Under are the weights for the total undercard.
