Salita Promotions brings Big Time Boxing Puerto Rico to San Juan on October 23, with DAZN set to broadcast the fight card from the Coliseo Pedrín Zorrilla. The spotlight will be on the lightweight division, as unbeaten contender Joshua Pagan (13-0, 4 KOs) puts his perfect record on the line against Maliek Montgomery (20-1, 18 KOs).
Pagan headlines the event in a 10-round contest for the WBO NABO lightweight title. The 23-year-old will look to extend his rise through the ranks, but faces a serious test in Montgomery, who boasts a 20-1 record and the type of experience that could trouble the undefeated prospect. With regional hardware at stake, the matchup carries major implications for both men’s careers.
The co-main event sees Puerto Rico’s own Carlos Arrieta (16-1, 9 KOs) return to the ring in an eight-round featherweight bout. He will meet Alfredo Cruz (9-3-1, 5 KOs) in what promises to be an action-packed clash between two fighters eager to climb higher in the division.
Fight card:
▪️Joshua James Pagan vs. Maliek Montgomery, 10 rounds, for the vacant WBO NABO lightweight title
