The Wilder-Fury PPV undercard is now official. In the co-main event, former heavyweight world champion Charles Martin (27-2-1, 24 KOs) will square off against former title challenger Gerald “El Gallo Negro” Washington (20-3-1, 13 KOs) in a 12-round IBF heavyweight title eliminator. WBO junior featherweight champion Emanuel “Vaquero” Navarrete (30-1, 26 KOs) defends his title for the fifth time in less than a year against Jeo Santisima (19-2, 16 KOs). In the PPV opener, 6’5 super welterweight Sebastian “The Towering Inferno” Fundora (13-0-1, 9 KOs) will face 2016 Olympian Daniel Lewis (6-0, 4 KOs) in a 10-round battle of unbeatens.
The event takes place February 22 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
Pretty good card in my opinion. These under card fights look to produce knockouts.
I am saving my lunch and milk money for something else and not buying this PPV event. Sorry, not feeling it.
I don’t buy them either Scooby…I just wait till they put it on Youtube in about a year….
Hmmm this doesn’t strike me as a particularly strong undercard.
Hopefully the time off has allowed Martin to purchase a pair of longer trunks so his balls won’t be on display all night.
I got a feeling Washington should be able to drop Martin. Martin’s record looks decent, but against limited opposition. Washington is heavier handed and in the right moment, can unleash his power.
But you won’t be watching Scooby so why comment? ♂️
I will be watching for free…You know, the replays online for free. Don’t think I am the only guilty one (snicker).
Martin heavyweight championship needs to be respected. It’s not like his opponent just dropped on his own.
I think we acknowledge that Martin was a past champion regardless of the circumstances. However, I not sure Martin is a huge ticket seller to some crowds champion or not. Martin and Washington will be a decent matchup, but Washington is the pick on my list to win.
Didn’t Martin win a belt because the other guy blew out his knee in a fight? Not that it’s an asterisk on his record, but it’s not like he laid a whipping on a top flight guy to win the title.
Wilder/Fury will be a good fight. But this kid Navarette is a real fighter to watch. This is an active fighter and he knows how to close the show. He is quickly becoming a top P4P fighter. Who in the time of fighters not fighting more than once a year, is having his 5th fight since winning the title less than a year ago.
Knock knock…..
