Whether it’s raw curiosity or genuine competition, this fight is divisive, drawing both ardent fans and critics. But Tyson and Paul’s unusual rivalry is just one side of the night; a host of fighters will battle it out on an intriguing undercard. Here’s a breakdown of what’s ahead.

Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano 2

Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano are back in the ring for a rematch that promises fireworks. Their first encounter was a classic - a brutal, high-paced fight at Madison Square Garden that saw Taylor edge out a win. This time, they’re fighting for Taylor’s four super-lightweight world titles. Taylor, an Olympic gold medalist with a record of 23-1, remains one of the sport’s brightest stars. Serrano, a seven-division champion at 47-2-1, aims to turn the tables in their ten-round rematch.

Neeraj Goyat vs. Whindersson Nunes

Social media sensation and comedian Whindersson Nunes steps up for his professional boxing debut against India’s Neeraj Goyat. Nunes, whose influence extends to millions online, has dabbled in influencer boxing with mixed results. He faces a daunting challenge in Goyat, an experienced fighter with a record of 18-4-2 who once shared the ring with former world title contender Jose Zepeda. While Nunes brings charisma and intrigue, Goyat’s proven skills may pose a steep learning curve for the Brazilian.

Mario Barrios vs. Abel Ramos

Mario Barrios defends his WBC welterweight world title against the seasoned Abel Ramos. Barrios, known as “El Azteca,” earned his championship status after Terence Crawford was designated “champion in recess.” With an impressive record of 29-2 and 18 knockouts, Barrios hopes to cement his position at the top. Ramos (28-6-2) has knockout power of his own, with 22 wins by stoppage, but he has faced mixed fortunes in his last outings. Both fighters promise an intense, toe-to-toe showdown.

Shadasia Green vs. Melinda Watpool

Shadasia Green aims to claim the WBO super middleweight title as she faces the undefeated Melinda Watpool. Green, a standout fighter known as “The Sweet Terminator,” fell short in her last world title attempt but remains a force at 14-1. Watpool, a rising star with a perfect record of 7-0, is eager to make her mark. Both fighters are hungry, and with their power and resilience, this one has all the makings of a thriller.

Lucas Bahdi vs. Armando Casamonica

Lucas Bahdi squares off against Armando Casamonica in a lightweight contest. Bahdi is on a high after knocking out Jake Paul’s protégé Ashton Sylve - a win that shot him into contention. With a record of 17-0 and a penchant for knockouts, the Canadian is relentless. Casamonica, a former Italian national champion with an unbeaten record of 14-0, steps into the ring to defend his spotless reputation. This clash of unbeatens should bring fireworks.

Bruce Carrington vs. Dana Coolwell

Bruce Carrington continues his meteoric rise with a bout against Dana Coolwell. Carrington, known as “Shu Shu,” boasts an undefeated record of 13-0 and eight knockouts. A former Golden Gloves winner, he is seen by many as a future champion. Coolwell, with a record of 13-2, is no easy prey; he’s riding a six-fight win streak and has the skill to challenge Carrington. This matchup pits talent against determination, and every punch will count.

Friday night’s lineup is more than just Tyson and Paul - it’s a showcase of talent, grit, and ambition. In an event that blends the theatrics of YouTubers and the drive of boxing’s contenders, a unique blend of athleticism and drama is on full display, promising moments that will leave fans talking long after the final bell.
