Stacked March 14 Undercard Showcases
Golden Boy’s Next Generation Of Champions
Golden Boy has assembled a stacked undercard featuring many
of its top rising stars for its March 14 event, headlined by
former interim champion Arnold Barboza Jr. (32-1, 11 KOs) of
South El Monte, Calif., as he takes on Chicago’s Kenneth
“Bossman” Sims Jr. (22-2-1, 8 KOs) in a 12-round
welterweight showdown, streaming live worldwide exclusively
on DAZN. The main event takes place Saturday, March 14, at
Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.
In the 12-round co-main event, co-promoted with Miguel Cotto
Promotions, Puerto Rico’s WBA, WBO and Ring Magazine
minimumweight world champion Oscar “El Pupilo” Collazo
(13-0, 10 KOs) will defend his titles against Mexico’s Jesus
“Chiquito” Haro (13-3, 2 KOs). Collazo most recently
delivered a devastating knockout victory over Jayson Vayson
in September 2025 and returns looking to continue his
dominant championship run.
In a title bout co-promoted with Sampson Boxing, undisputed
flyweight world champion Gabriela “Sweet Poison” Fundora
(17-0, 9 KOs) will defend her throne against WBA Interim

Rocha (25-2-1, 16 KOs) will face former world champion
