The full PPV card airs live starting at 8:00 PM ET / 5:00 PM PT on Prime Video. As the co-main event, Tellez-Mendoza ring walks are expected around 10:00–11:00 PM ET (depending on undercard pace), with the main event to follow.

Venue: MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. This iconic 16,800-seat venue on the Las Vegas Strip is hosting the stacked PBC pay-per-view card.

Fighter Profiles and Recent Form

Yoenis Tellez (“El Bandolero”) – Cuba

Record: 11-1-0 (8 KOs, 72.7% KO rate)

Age: 25

Height/Reach: 5’10” / 72.8″

Stance: Orthodox

Recent Form (last 5 bouts): Win (Dec 13, 2025 – RTD 5 vs. Kendo Castaneda) → Loss (Aug 23, 2025 – UD 12 vs. Abass Baraou, lost WBA interim super welterweight title) → Win (Mar 1, 2025 – UD 12 vs. Julian Williams, won vacant WBA interim title) → Win (Oct 19, 2024 – TKO 7 vs. Johan Gonzalez) → Earlier stoppage wins building his résumé.

Tellez is a fast-rising Cuban prospect with elite hand speed, power, and composure under pressure. He captured the WBA interim belt against a former unified champion (Williams) before dropping a competitive decision to Baraou. His December stoppage showed he can finish when opponents don’t get dropped easily. At 25, he’s viewed as a future title threat and is highly motivated on short notice.

Brian Mendoza (“La Bala”) – United States (Las Vegas, NV)

Record: 23-4-0 (17 KOs, 73.9% KO rate)

Age: 32

Height/Reach: 5’10” / 70″

Stance: Orthodox

Recent Form (last 5 bouts): Win (Jul 4, 2025 – TKO 4 vs. Jesus Antonio Rojas) → Loss (Mar 30, 2024 – UD 12 vs. Serhii Bohachuk) → Loss (Oct 15, 2023 – UD 12 vs. Tim Tszyu) → Win (Apr 8, 2023 – KO 7 vs. Sebastian Fundora, won WBC interim title) → Win (Nov 5, 2022 – KO 5 vs. Jeison Rosario).

Mendoza is a battle-tested veteran whose résumé includes a signature highlight-reel KO of the previously unbeaten Fundora. He followed that with tough losses to elite 154-pounders but rebounded strongly against Rojas. Known for his power, durability, and one-punch knockout ability, “La Bala” is dangerous on any given night—especially when motivated to pull off another upset.

Fight History & Matchup Breakdown

This is a youth-vs-experience clash between two former interim champions at 154 lbs. Tellez (11-1) has only 75 professional rounds but boasts explosive power and a high finish rate. Mendoza (23-4) has 117 rounds of experience, including wins over world-title-level opposition and a proven ability to turn fights with one shot.

Key Advantages for Tellez:

Significant youth edge (7 years younger) and fresher legs.

Higher activity level recently.

Elite speed and boxing IQ that could neutralize Mendoza’s power early.

Potential Edges for Mendoza:

Vast experience against top competition.

One-punch KO power (17 KOs) and proven upset pedigree.

Short-notice resilience—he was already training and ready.

Community and expert consensus leans toward Tellez due to age, momentum, and the step-up in competition for Mendoza coming off softer opposition. However, Mendoza’s Fundora KO proves he can never be counted out.

Injury Report

No injuries reported for either fighter. This bout was a late replacement after the original co-main (Frank Sanchez vs. Richard Torrez Jr.) was postponed due to Sanchez’s injury. Both Tellez and Mendoza entered camp healthy and have confirmed they are 100% fit for March 28.

The full PPV card begins at 8:00 PM ET / 5:00 PM PT on Prime Video. As an undercard bout (part of the four-fight PPV), Hernandez-Gausha ring walks are expected in the early-to-mid portion of the main card, likely around 8:30–9:30 PM ET depending on earlier results.

Venue: MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. The iconic 16,800-seat venue on the Las Vegas Strip is once again hosting this stacked PBC pay-per-view event.

Fighter Profiles and Recent Form

Yoenli Hernandez (“Yoyo El Diablo”) – Cuba

Record: 9-0-0 (8 KOs, 88.9% KO rate)

Age: 28

Height/Reach: 6’2″ / Not listed (tall for middleweight)

Stance: Orthodox

Recent Form: Win (2025 – multiple stoppages including regional title defenses) → Consistent early-to-mid round finishes against quality opposition. Hernandez has looked explosive in every pro outing since debuting in 2022, blending amateur pedigree with professional power.

Hernandez is a highly touted Cuban prospect quickly climbing the middleweight ranks. Signed by major management and already holding WBA Continental Latin America hardware, he’s viewed as a future world-title contender. His blend of size, athleticism, and finishing power has made him a “boogeyman” in the division at just 9-0.

Terrell Gausha – United States (Cleveland, OH)

Record: 24-5-1 (12 KOs, 50% KO rate)

Age: 38

Height/Reach: 5’10” / 73½”

Stance: Orthodox

Recent Form (last 5 bouts): Loss (Mar 22, 2025 – SD 10 vs. Elijah Garcia) → Loss (Jun 2024 – vs. Carlos Adames, WBC title fight) → Win (Sep 2023 – vs. KeAndrae Leatherwood) → Earlier mixed results including a 2021 title challenge loss. Gausha is coming off back-to-back defeats against top-10 middleweights.

Gausha is a battle-tested U.S. Olympian and former world-title challenger with solid experience against elite competition. At 38, he remains durable and crafty but has shown signs of decline against younger, faster punchers. This is a classic “veteran test” for a rising prospect.

Fight History & Matchup Breakdown

This 10-round middleweight clash pits an undefeated, power-punching Cuban prospect against a seasoned Olympian looking for one last run. Hernandez (only 75 pro rounds) has never been truly tested at this level, while Gausha (over 150 rounds) has shared the ring with the division’s best.

Key Advantages for Hernandez:

Massive youth edge (10 years younger) and physical size.

Elite power and finishing rate.

Momentum as a top-rated prospect with title talk already circulating.

Potential Edges for Gausha:

Vast experience and veteran savvy.

Length and jab that could frustrate early if Hernandez rushes.

Proven chin (though tested recently).

Expert and community consensus heavily favors Hernandez in what is seen as a step-up but winnable fight for the Cuban.

Injury Report

No injuries reported for either fighter. Both are confirmed healthy and cleared for the March 28 bout with no weigh-in or training-camp issues noted in official PBC updates or recent coverage.

The full PPV card airs live starting at 8:00 PM ET / 5:00 PM PT on Prime Video. As the PPV opener, Hovhannisyan-Navarro ring walks are expected around 8:00–8:30 PM ET (depending on any pre-PPV activity), kicking off the four-fight main broadcast.

Venue: MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. This iconic 16,800-seat venue on the Las Vegas Strip is hosting the stacked PBC pay-per-view card.

Fighter Profiles and Recent Form

Gurgen Hovhannisyan (“Big Gug”) – Armenia (fights out of the United States)

Record: 9-0-0 (8 KOs, 88.9% KO rate)

Age: 28

Height/Reach: 6’7″ / 81″

Stance: Orthodox

Recent Form (last 3 bouts – all wins): Win (Jul 18, 2025 – TKO 3 vs. Chris Thomas) → Win (Apr 18, 2025 – KO 5 vs. Dajuan Calloway) → Win (Dec 13, 2024 – MD 8 vs. Patrick Mailata). Earlier stoppages against limited opposition built his undefeated streak. Hovhannisyan is a massive, power-punching heavyweight prospect with elite size and finishing ability. Trained under respected camps and already turning heads with highlight-reel knockouts, “Big Gug” is viewed as a future contender in a thin heavyweight division. His recent performances show improving finishing power against progressively stiffer opposition, and he’s highly motivated in this Las Vegas spotlight.

Cesar Navarro (“Cachalu”) – Mexico (fights out of Phoenix, AZ)

Record: 15-3-0 (13 KOs, 86.7% KO rate)

Age: 26

Height/Reach: 6’0″ / 73½”

Stance: Orthodox

Recent Form (last 4 bouts): Win (Sep 2025 – TKO 2 vs. Twon Smith) → Loss (May 9, 2025 – UD 10 vs. Daintier Pero; dropped Pero twice but couldn’t close) → Win (Nov 2024 – TKO vs. Jesus Adrian Haro Campos) → Win (Aug 2024 – KO vs. Jorge Armando Martinez). Navarro has mixed results against regional-level heavyweights/bridgerweights. Navarro is a compact, aggressive puncher with legitimate one-punch power and solid amateur roots. He’s dangerous early and has stopped most opponents quickly, but he’s never faced anyone with Hovhannisyan’s size or reach. This is a significant step up in class and physicality.

Fight History & Matchup Breakdown

This heavyweight clash is a size vs. experience matchup on the biggest stage for both. Hovhannisyan (only 50 pro rounds) is the undefeated prospect with freakish physical tools, while Navarro (53 rounds) brings veteran savvy and knockout power but gives up 7 inches in height and nearly 8 inches in reach—plus 70+ pounds on fight night.

Key Advantages for Hovhannisyan:

Massive physical disparity (6’7″ / 81″ reach vs. 6’0″ / 73½”).

Elite finishing rate and recent stoppage momentum.

Youth and fresher legs in a 10-rounder.

Potential Edges for Navarro:

More professional experience and proven early power.

Durability shown in recent wars.

Consensus across boxing media and platforms is overwhelmingly in favor of Hovhannisyan. The size and power gap is considered too large for Navarro to overcome unless he lands a perfect early shot.

Injury Report

No injuries reported for either fighter. Both are confirmed healthy, cleared by commissions, and have completed full training camps with no weigh-in or medical issues noted in PBC updates.

Venue: MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. The iconic 16,800-seat venue on the Las Vegas Strip is hosting the full stacked PBC event.

Fighter Profiles and Recent Form

Elijah Garcia – United States (Phoenix, AZ)

Record: 17-1-0 (13 KOs, 76.5% KO rate)

Age: 22

Height/Reach: 6’0″ / 71″

Stance: Southpaw

Recent Form (last 5 bouts): Win (Mar 22, 2025 – SD 10 vs. Terrell Gausha; survived early knockdown to win split decision) → Loss (Jun 15, 2024 – SD 10 vs. Kyrone Davis) → Win (Sep 30, 2023 – TKO 8 vs. Armando Reséndiz) → Win (Apr 2023 – UD 10 vs. Kevin Salgado Zambrano) → Earlier stoppage wins. Garcia is a fast-rising super middleweight prospect with elite power, athleticism, and a proven ability to overcome adversity. His gritty win over veteran Gausha in March 2025 showed heart and durability after hitting the canvas early. At just 22, he’s already fought at a high level and is viewed as a future world-title contender in the 168-lb division.

Kevin Newman II (“The Second Coming”) – United States

Record: 18-3-1 (11 KOs, 61% KO rate)

Age: 34

Height/Reach: 6’1″ / 74½”

Stance: Orthodox

Recent Form (last 5 bouts): Multiple wins on a 6–7 fight winning streak (including TKO 4 vs. Eric Robles in 2024 and UD 8 vs. Quilisto Madera in 2023) → Earlier mixed results with regional-level victories. Newman has been active and consistent against domestic opposition. Newman is a battle-tested veteran with solid experience and a strong amateur background (state/regional Golden Gloves titles). He’s dangerous with power and durability but has faced limited top-tier competition recently. This is a classic “gatekeeper” test for a young prospect.

Fight History & Matchup Breakdown

This is a youth vs. experience super middleweight clash over 10 rounds. Garcia (only 80 pro rounds) brings explosive southpaw power and momentum, while Newman II (110+ rounds) offers veteran savvy and a reach advantage.

Key Advantages for Garcia:

Massive 12-year youth edge and fresher legs.

Higher KO rate and proven big-fight experience (Gausha, Davis).

Southpaw stance that could trouble Newman’s orthodox style.

Potential Edges for Newman II:

Experience and length (74½” reach).

Recent winning streak and durability.

Injury Report

No injuries reported for either fighter. Both are confirmed healthy and cleared, with full training camps completed and no weigh-in or medical issues noted in PBC announcements.

Gallegos-Gonzalez is one of the featured prelim bouts (alongside Garcia-Newman II and Brayan Gonzalez-Guerrero), with ring walks expected in the 6:00–7:00 PM ET window depending on the pace of the earlier fights. This leads directly into the main four-fight PBC PPV at 8:00 PM ET / 5:00 PM PT.

Venue: MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. The iconic 16,800-seat venue on the Las Vegas Strip is hosting the full stacked PBC event.

Fighter Profiles and Recent Form

Kaipo Gallegos – United States (Las Vegas, NV)

Record: 11-0-1 (9 KOs, 81.8% KO rate)

Age: 20

Height/Reach: 5’8″ / Not listed

Stance: Southpaw

Recent Form (last 5 bouts): Win (Jan 26, 2026 – TKO 3 vs. Wilson Akinocho) → Win (Sep 2025 – decision/stoppage vs. Alberto Mercado) → Win (May 2025 – TKO vs. Pedro Castaneda Castro) → Earlier stoppage wins building his streak. Gallegos has looked explosive in every outing, mixing amateur pedigree with professional finishing power.

Gallegos is a teenage sensation and one of boxing’s brightest lightweight prospects. Trained in Las Vegas gyms, he’s undefeated, highly touted, and making his first 10-rounder plus his first major televised appearance. At just 20, he’s already turning heads with his speed, power, and composure—viewed as a future world-title contender.

Julian Gonzalez (“Gifted”) – United States (Reading, PA)

Record: 16-1-1 (12 KOs, 75% KO rate)

Age: 24

Height/Reach: 5’8″ / Not listed

Stance: Orthodox

Recent Form (last 5 bouts): Loss (Jun 27, 2025 – vs. Jason Sanchez) → Win (Mar 2025 – TKO 1 vs. Armando Frausto) → Win (Sep 2024 – UD 8 vs. Oscar Barajas) → Earlier stoppages and decisions against regional opposition. Gonzalez has power and experience but suffered his first defeat in 2025.

Gonzalez is a battle-tested lightweight with legitimate one-punch power and a solid amateur background. He’s dangerous early and has stopped most foes quickly, but this is a significant step up against a highly regarded young prospect. “Gifted” brings veteran savvy and knockout threat into what many see as a classic gatekeeper role.

Fight History & Matchup Breakdown

This 10-round lightweight clash is a rising prospect vs. live underdog matchup. Gallegos (only 60 pro rounds) is the undefeated phenom with elite finishing ability, while Gonzalez (70+ rounds) has more pro experience and proven power but is coming off a loss. Both are the same height, but Gallegos’ southpaw stance and youth give him stylistic edges.

Key Advantages for Gallegos:

Massive 4-year youth edge and fresher legs in a 10-rounder.

Higher recent activity and 81.8% KO rate.

Home-crowd advantage in Las Vegas and prospect momentum.

Potential Edges for Gonzalez:

More professional experience and one-punch KO power.

Durability shown in recent fights.

Fighter Profiles and Recent Form

Sebastian Fundora (“The Towering Inferno”) – United States (Coachella, CA)

Record: 23-1-1 (15 KOs, 65.2% KO rate)

Age: 28

Height/Reach: 6’5½” / 80″

Stance: Southpaw

Recent Form (last 5 bouts): Win (July 2025 – decision/retention vs. high-level opposition) → Win (March 2025 – TKO vs. Chordale Booker, title retention) → Win (earlier 2024/2025 – split-decision title win vs. Tim Tszyu) → Earlier stoppages and decisions solidifying his reign. Fundora has looked dominant since capturing the WBC belt, using his freakish length and pressure to break opponents down. Fundora is the undisputed freak of the 154-lb division—literally one of the tallest, longest champions in history. His southpaw jab, body work, and late-fight volume make him a nightmare matchup. After a hand contusion postponed the original October 2025 date, he enters fully healed and motivated to prove he’s the best in the weight class.

Keith Thurman (“One Time”) – United States

Record: 31-1-0 (23 KOs, 74% KO rate)

Age: 36

Height/Reach: 5’9½” / ~70″

Stance: Orthodox

Recent Form (last 5 bouts): Win (March 2025 – TKO 3 vs. Brock Jarvis) → Win (2022 – UD vs. Mario Barrios) → Loss (2019 – SD vs. Manny Pacquiao) → Earlier title defenses. Thurman has fought just twice in the last four-plus years due to hand and other injuries but looked sharp in his most recent stoppage win. Thurman is a former unified welterweight champion and one of the most technically gifted boxers of his generation. His one-punch power, elite defense, and ring IQ remain dangerous, but Father Time and extended layoffs are the biggest questions. This is his first title shot at 154 lbs and his biggest step-up in years.

Fight History & Matchup Breakdown

This is a size vs. skill/experience super welterweight title fight. Fundora (139+ pro rounds) brings unprecedented physical tools at 154 lbs, while Thurman (170+ rounds) has the pedigree of a former lineal champion.

Key Advantages for Fundora:

Insane 6’5½” frame and 80″ reach—Thurman has never faced anyone close to this size.

Relentless pressure and body attack that wears opponents down.

Youth (8 years younger) and recent activity.

Potential Edges for Thurman:

Superior boxing IQ, footwork, and counter-punching.

Proven one-punch power (23 KOs) and championship experience.

Southpaw discomfort if he can close distance and make it ugly inside.

Consensus across boxing media and platforms heavily favors Fundora due to the massive physical mismatch, but Thurman’s pedigree keeps it from being a total lock—many experts see a competitive chess match early before Fundora’s length takes over.

Injury Report

No current injuries reported for either fighter. Fundora’s hand contusion (which postponed the original October 2025 date) has fully healed; he confirmed in recent interviews that both hands are 100% and camp has been smooth. Thurman has had no reported issues and enters healthy after a full training camp. Both cleared all medicals and weigh-ins are expected without complications.

Willy Hutchinson (“The Hutch-Train”) – United Kingdom (Scotland)

Record: 19-2-0 (14 KOs, 73.7% KO rate)

Age: 27

Height/Reach: 6’1″–6’2″ / 73″

Stance: Orthodox

Recent Form (last 5 bouts): Win (Oct 4, 2025 – TKO 7 vs. Mark Jeffers) → Win (earlier 2025 – stoppage/decision wins building momentum) → Prior mixed results including two career losses to higher-level opposition (Joshua Buatsi and another). Hutchinson has won 4 of his last 5, with 3 stoppages, showing improved finishing ability and durability. Hutchinson is a tall, athletic light heavyweight with sharp straight punches, excellent range control, and solid boxing IQ. He’s viewed as a domestic contender ready for the next step, using movement and jab to set up power shots. This is a high-stakes domestic clash on home soil in front of a passionate Manchester crowd.

Ezra Taylor (“The Cannon”) – United Kingdom

Record: 13-0-0 (9 KOs, 69.2% KO rate)

Age: 31

Height/Reach: 6’2″ / 74″ (approx.)

Stance: Orthodox

Recent Form (last 5 bouts): Win (Oct 24, 2025 – TKO 9 vs. Steed Woodall to claim WBA Continental Gold title) → Win (earlier 2025 – stoppages and decisions vs. regional foes including Troy Jones). Taylor is on a perfect 13-fight win streak with strong finishing power in recent outings. Taylor is a confident, outspoken puncher with legitimate one-punch KO threat and improving boxing skills. He’s stepping up significantly in class here but carries momentum from his recent title-winning performance. This rivalry exploded after a heated face-off, adding extra spice to a domestic light heavyweight showdown.

Fight History & Matchup Breakdown

This 10-round light heavyweight clash is a domestic rivalry between two rising UK 175-lb talents. Hutchinson brings more pro experience (21 bouts) and proven durability, while Taylor (13 bouts) is undefeated with recent title hardware and explosive power. Both are tall orthodox fighters who like to control range, but Hutchinson’s lateral movement and jab give him early stylistic edges.

Key Advantages for Hutchinson:

Experience edge and recent high-level tests.

Superior movement and ring generalship.

Home-crowd support in a massive UK arena.

Potential Edges for Taylor:

Undefeated momentum and one-punch power (recent TKO title win).

Youthful aggression and confidence from the heated build-up.

Injury Report

No injuries reported for either fighter. Both have confirmed full health in recent DAZN interviews and training updates, with smooth camps and no weigh-in or medical concerns noted by promoters or commissions.
