Carl Frampton takes on Leo Santa Cruz tonight on Showtime.
Tonight at 10 pm ET on Showtime, we’ll have live coverage of a world title doubleheader, headlined by Carl Frampton and Leo Santa Cruz rematching in the featherweight division.
Frampton (23-0, 14 KO) defeated Santa Cruz (32-1-1, 18 KO) last July at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Tonight, they meet again at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, with the WBA “super world” featherweight title once again on the line.
In the co-feature, Mikey Garcia (35-0, 29 KO) looks to claim the WBC lightweight title in a fight against titleholder Dejan Zlaticanin (22-0, 15 KO). Garcia has held belts at 126 and 130, and wants to make it three world titles this evening.
There will also be live fights on SHO Extreme beginning at 8 pm ET. David Benavidez (16-0, 15 KO) will meet Sherali Mamajonov (14-1, 7 KO) in an eight-round super middleweight bout, and Josh Taylor (7-0, 7 KO) will face Alfonso Olvera (8-2-1, 3 KO) in an eight-round junior welterweight fight. The originally scheduled fight between Lee Selby and Jonathan Victor Barros was canceled on Friday when Barros was denied a boxing license in Nevada.a
