The 12-round super delicate clash with possible implications of the world title takes place at the Credit arena of Unia 1 in Chicago on Saturday, when Oscar Duarte meets Kenneth Sims Jr at the head of the Golden Boy promotional card.
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.

Regis Programis vs Jo Diaz
At Undercard Regis Prograis (29-3, KO24), he tries to climb the world title ladder again, and the former world champion takes up ten times against Jo Jo Diaz (34-7-1, KO15) in Super Lightweight.
Prograis became the world champion for the second time in 2022, pounding at Jose Zepeda in 11, and after one defense he was dropped and then managed cards against Devin Haney.

Diaz lost six of the last eight duels, but was detained only once, by the said Oscar Duarte in April last year and is hard-wearing.
The victory in Mexico will win compared to Jorge Valencia Diaz in June.
Other card
The remaining ten-year-old is in the circuitous weight, where Tristan Kalkreuth (15-1, KO10) can win a victory in the schedule in relation to Devonte Williams (13-2, KO6).
In eight round duels, Yair Benjamin Gallardo-Lozano (9-0, KO8) can win an early win against Qinton Rankin (21-9-2, KO16) in a delicate ponderous weight, and in Super Bantamweight, Gael Cabrera (8-0, KO5) should overtake Richard Reyes Diaz (3-0-1, KO2).
In the six-story action of Joshua Edwards (3-0, KO3) can remain perfect thanks to the victory in relation to Cayman Audie (4-1, KO2) in the heavyweight and delicate perspective of Mehki Phillips (6-0, KO6) can do the same against Joseph Ricardo Cruz Brown (12-14, KO7).

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.
Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.
Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.
Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.
Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.

The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.
The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.

McKean meets Taliva
Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.
McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.
The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.
Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
