Orlando’s Corey Marksman returns in a local showcase with pop and pace.
Gomez brings heavy hands and intrigue at 154/160 after a fast‑track start to his pro career.

Venue snapshot

Caribe Royale Orlando (8101 World Center Drive, Orlando, FL 32821) — a resort setting that’s become a recurring boxing host, making for easy on‑site amenities and straightforward logistics for traveling fans.

Saturday, Aug 23 — MVP Fight Night (Title Triple)

Championship‑stacked lineup (per Caribe Royale; also reflected on ESPN’s schedule):

Yankiel “El Doctorcito” Rivera (7–0, 3 KOs) vs Angelino Cordova (19–0–1, 12 KOs) — 12 rounds, WBA interim flyweight world title
Yoenis “El Bandolero” Tellez (10–0, 7 KOs) vs Abass Baraou (16–1, 9 KOs) — 12 rounds, WBA interim super welterweight world title
Stephanie Han (10–0, 3 KOs) vs Paulina Angel (7–1–2, 3 KOs) — 10 rounds, WBA women’s lightweight title defense
Jasmine “The Animal” Artiga (13–0–1, 6 KOs) vs Linn Sandstrom (10–3–3, 2 KOs) — 10 rounds, WBA women’s super flyweight title defense (headlining prelims)
Additional bouts per ESPN include Jamaine Ortiz vs Steve Claggett (10, junior welterweights), Lucas Bahdi vs Roger Gutierrez (10, lightweights), and more

Angles:

Rivera–Cordova is a high‑skill 112‑lb clash between unbeaten contenders; the winner will be in the thick of WBA title consolidation.
Tellez–Baraou could be one of the best 154‑lb fights of late summer — both are ranked and in form, and the interim strap often precedes a full-title shot.
The night also features two women’s world title defenses, underscoring MVP’s commitment to meaningful championship slots.

Planning tip:

Consider the multiday pass if you’re attending both nights, and arrive early — Orlando undercards tend to move quickly, and lines for security can build near first bell.

Saturday, September 6 — Mexico and the UK on DAZN

Multiple cards spread across Mexico and England:

Los Mochis, Mexico (DAZN):
- Eduardo Nunez vs Christopher Diaz — 12 rounds, super featherweights, for Nunez’s IBF title

- Sandy Ryan vs Jade Grierson — 10 rounds, welterweights

- Tiah‑Mai Ayton vs Lydie Bialic — 6 rounds, bantamweights

What to watch:

Nunez is a dangerous puncher at 130 with a title to protect.
Valdez remains a major name at 130; the Medina fight functions as a reset and potential launchpad.
McCormack’s trajectory at 147 continues under the UK prospect microscope.

The September Super Weekend — Sept 13–14

Sept 13 — Las Vegas: Canelo vs Crawford (Netflix)

Canelo Alvarez vs Terence “Bud” Crawford — 12 rounds, super middleweights, for Canelo’s undisputed championship (WBC, WBA, IBF, WBO)

Why it’s historic:

Crawford, already a two‑division undisputed champion (140 and 147), climbs for the 168 crown vs the sport’s biggest global A‑side.
Regardless of outcome, the fight reshapes pound‑for‑pound discourse and could influence future 168/175 matchmaking.

Why Riyadh matters

It’s a multi‑title, cross‑division showcase with global stakes — typical of recent Saudi super‑cards that compress months of headliners into a single night.
Watch windows can be earlier for U.S. viewers; plan around afternoon start times.

How to watch and plan your fight weekends

Platforms noted in the schedules include DAZN, Netflix, and PPV. International start times vary — double‑check your region the morning of the event.
Friday shows (like Boxing Schedule and Upcoming Fights Friday, August 8 in Libya) sometimes run earlier in the day for U.S. audiences, making them great “lead‑ins” to Saturday mega‑cards.
For the Orlando doubleheader, the official resort page provides ticketing and on‑site logistics; resort venues often open doors early, with undercards starting promptly.
If you’re new to the sport, understanding fight categories helps: boxing’s divisions are organized by weight limits; for a quick primer, see this high‑level resource on boxing weight classes (Wikipedia).

Quick context: divisions, stakes, and momentum

Titles on the line in August and September include the WBA featherweight (Ball), WBA interim flyweight (Rivera–Cordova), WBA interim super welterweight (Tellez–Baraou), and multiple women’s WBA straps (Stephanie Han at lightweight; Jasmine Artiga at super flyweight).
The 154‑lb picture (super welterweight) remains fluid; interim winners can earn mandatory status or unification opportunities.
At 122 lbs (super bantamweight), Naoya Inoue’s undisputed run sets the global standard; Akhmadaliev is one of the most credible challengers.
At 168 lbs, Canelo’s undisputed crown is the sport’s most commercially significant prize; Crawford’s attempt adds historic intrigue across weight‑class lines.

For new fans: divisions like “super featherweight” (130) and “super lightweight” (140) sit between the classic 126/135 and 135/147 thresholds, respectively — understand these nuances to better track contender movement.

Experience insights: making the most of multi‑card weekends

Stack your viewing: Start with Friday’s international DAZN card, carry into a Saturday afternoon European/MEGA card (Riyadh or UK), then close with a Saturday night U.S. headliner.
Use breaks between televised bouts to scan undercard results — Friday winners often pop up on Saturday broadcasts as quick mentions, giving you context for rising names.
If you’re attending Orlando’s Caribe Royale shows, consider a multiday pass to reduce per‑night costs and to keep your seating consistent. Resort venues typically offer smoother ingress/egress than large arenas, but popular title bouts can still create bottlenecks at security — arrive 45–60 minutes before the televised undercard.

Where this data comes from (and how to keep it current)

This guide consolidates details from:

Bad Left Hook’s running schedule (updated Aug 8, 2025)
ESPN’s schedule hub (dated Aug 6, 2025; includes full monthly slates and key‑date callouts)
Caribe Royale Orlando’s official event page (tickets, bouts, and on‑site info for Aug 22–23)

Fight weeks are fluid — opponents change, start times shift, and sanctioning labels get refined. If a bout’s listed at one weight by one source and adjacent by another (e.g., middleweight vs junior middleweight), treat that as normal pre‑fight variance and confirm on fight week.
