– World title twinbill leads into Ruiz-Arreola PPV
– Event open to limited audience, tickets available

WBA super welterweight champion Erislandy “The American Dream” Lara (27-3-3, 15 KOs) will seek a third world title in a second weight class when he faces Thomas “Cornflake” LaManna (30-4-1, 12 KOs) for the WBA middleweight title in the main event of a May 1 FOX telecast from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California.

The co-main event will see Eduardo Ramirez (24-2-3, 11 KOs) take on Isaac Avelar (17-2, 10 KOs) in a 12-round fight for the vacant WBA interim featherweight title.

The world title doubleheader leads into the pay-per-view event headlined by former unified heavyweight world champion Andy “The Destroyer” Ruiz Jr. against Chris “The Nightmare” Arreola at the same venue.

The event is promoted by TGB Promotions. Dignity Health Sports Park will be open to fans in a limited capacity, with all spectators remaining socially distanced and subject to local and state health guidelines throughout the event.

Tickets go on sale Friday, March 26 at 10 a.m. PT and can be purchased at AXS.com.

  • He’ll be 38 by fight night and this is the third soft fight in a row for Lara. I’d be shocked if he ever fought either Charlo, but maybe a rematch with Jarrett Hurd or Brian Castano before he calls it a career? Or now that he’s moved up in weight, there’s always Andrade

      • I don’t think he means the fight will be soft (will probably be the most boring fight of all time) but more like Lara is fighting another bum who is soft. LaManna had already been ko’d by Antoine Douglas and Jorge Cota lmao

    • Neither Charlo is getting in the ring with Lara unless it’s at gunpoint

  • One of the many titles with the WBA but not a world title. That would belong to Murata.

  • Why is he fighting Lamana for the BS, My bad I meant belt? What about Eubank Jr, Or Madiev the number 1 & 2 ranked at 160 by the WBA? This is a Joke & just another example of the W.B.A. ( WE’LL BELT ANYONE) organization throwing respectability out the ring for sanctioning fees.

  • I like that “We’ll belt anyone”. 🙂 Prediction is that Lara will look Grrrrrrreat vs Cornflake even at his age.

  • Cornflake LaManna is finally getting a chance but he is in tough with Lara.
