Dazn Televise Duarte vs Sims Jr Live.
Duarte (29-2-1, KO23) is still only 29, and the Mexican enjoyed two decent early victories in 2023 against Alex Martin (KO8) and D’Angelo Keyes (RTD7), which led to a duel with the talented Ryan Garcia at the back of the same year.
Garcia turned out to be too robust and knocked out Duarte in eight in Houston.
Duarte, however, bounced with three basic victories, the last knockout of Miguel Madueno in the seventh round in February.
Sims JR (22-2-1, KO8) has nine wins on the spin from the reverse of points in 2018 to Samuel Teah, and the compatriot from Chicago was recently seen in February on the same card as Duarte, winning broad wins with Kendo Castaned.

Skye Nicolson came close to winning the world featherweight title with a dominant points win over Mariah Turner in Melbourne on Wednesday.
Nicolson (16-1, 3 KO) defended her interim WBC featherweight crown, winning every round against Turner (12-2, 6 KO) at The Melbourne Pavilion.
Nicolson’s excellent boxing skills were on display from the first round, keeping her opponent at bay from her probing jab.
The 30-year-old southpaw, who won the interim belt in December with a unanimous decision victory over Yuliahn Luna Avila, bloodied Turner’s nose in the third round after a series of successful left hands.
The former featherweight world champion rocked her opponent with a straight left hand in the sixth gesture, but the “Golden Girl” responded with a left hook of her own, sending Nicolson falling to the ropes.
Nicolson returned to boxing backwards in the seventh round and circumscribed her opponent’s success.
Turner’s nose remained bloody over the last few rounds, and the 31-year-old was unable to make up the loss.
The Novel Zealander’s suffering deepened in the final round when she was deducted a point for using her head.
Three scores of 90-89 confirmed the victory of Nicolson, who announced a fight with the undisputed super bantamweight champion, Ellie Scotney after the fight.

Hussain pushes past Hunt
Benjamin Hussain came off the deck and passed Andrew Hunt by split decision.
