Diego Pacheco vs Steven Nelson
Fight details
WBO number one super middleweight contender Diego Pacheco can take a step nearer to a maiden world title shot should he get past fellow unbeaten 168lbr Steven Nelson on January 25 in Las Vegas. Pacheco starts as a strong favourite to beat Terence Crawford’s long-time friend and will need to demonstrate his credentials if he is to be seen as a worthy challenger to world champion Canelo Alvarez. The main event tops a six fight card for Matchroom’s American opener in 2025.
