Two regional title fights are among the six undercard clashes that are part of the Don King Promotions PPV card on January 21 at Casino Miami Jai-Alai headlined by the WBA NABA gold heavyweight championship as Jonathan Guidry (18-1-2, 10 KOs) is set to defend his title against former WBC heavyweight champion Bermane Stiverne (25-5-1, 21 KOs).
The lineup includes:
- NABA welterweight titlist Tre’Sean Wiggins (14-5-3, 8 KOs) against Nigel Fennel (13-1, 8 KOs).
- WBA Continental Americas middleweight beltholder Ian Green (16-2, 11 KOs) against undefeated Alexander Castro (11-0, 9 KOs).
- Light heavyweight Ahmed Elbiali (18-1-2, 10 KOs) against an opponent to be named in an eight-rounder.
- Featherweight Neslan Machado (19-0, 8 KOs) against Walter Santibanes (11-2, 2 KOs) in a 10-rounder.
The first two bouts of the night will feature a super lightweight attraction between Raynel Mederos (7-0, 2 KOs) against Nelson Morales (3-1). The other bout is a light heavyweight attraction for six rounds.
Goodness, anyone who would pay to see this card of complete garbage should have their head examined.
This is a joke right? Seriously? fans pay for this? a title fight? WBA NABA Gold Heavyweight Championship and Stiverne is getting another shot? He’s gotten like 7 already smh.
Unbelievable. King used to put on some of the highest quality PPV cards in history but those days are long gone. I literally would not pay a nickel for this. If we as fans don’t support this non-sense, they will be forced to put shows like this on ESPN or PBC where they belong.
I don’t even think these fights are worthy of ESPN or pbc either.
Nope. ESPN actually seems pretty open in terms of what pops up on ESPN+ because they need content… I don’t think this one would make the cut.
Stiverne Needs to hang them up.
We didnt have to wait long to get the best card of 2023
Perhaps DK’s most underwhelming card ever
stiverne please espn give the boxing fans a break do not need this on tv
The sad part is boxing fans will pay for this . This is the reason why they continue to put these shows on PPV . Until Boxing fans take a stand against these garbage PPV’s nothing will change .
Will they? I have a hard time thinking this’ll do more than a few thousand sales. I guess if Stiverne or Guidry a big extended family, maybe 10k? As with most, this is a firestick freebie.
The first Don King Promotion I ever attended was Gerrie Coetzee vs. Michael Dokes for the WBA title. It was a great show, with Tim Witherspoon & Azumah Nelson on the undercard.
