Overview
- Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz will defend his interim WBC super lightweight title against Nestor Bravo in the main event at Pechanga Arena, a bout scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 19, 2026.
- The victor will be named the mandatory challenger to WBC champion Dalton Smith, positioning the winner for a shot at the full world title.
- Cruz prepared in camp with top trainer Eddy Reynoso but Reynoso will not be in Cruz’s corner on fight night because of other commitments with his primary fighter.
- The planned interim middleweight co‑feature between Jesus Ramos Jr. and Meiirim Nursultanov was scratched at the weigh‑in after Ramos fell ill and will be rescheduled, elevating Daniel Blancas into the co‑main slot.
- All main‑card fighters made weight at the official ceremony and the card will stream worldwide on DAZN, with undercard changes reflecting the late reshuffle of the broadcast lineup.
