Indian boxing sensation Nishant Dev will compete in his third professional bout!

Jesse “Bam” Rodríguez is set to launch what could be a defining chapter in his young but already decorated career when he steps into the ring this Saturday night. The 24-year-old Texan phenom will face South African standout Phumelela Cafu in a high-stakes clash to unify the WBC and WBO super flyweight world titles.

With the boxing world watching closely, this is more than just a title bout; it’s the next major step in Rodríguez’s quest for total dominance in the 115-pound division.

Rodríguez enters the fight with serious momentum, having built an impressive resume filled with marquee wins and dazzling performances. Known for his slick footwork, sharp combinations, and relentless pace, Bam has quickly emerged as one of the most exciting talents in boxing.

But Saturday’s bout isn’t just a tune-up. Cafu, the reigning WBO champion, brings his own brand of danger, an aggressive, powerful style that has derailed many opponents before.

The stakes are enormous, not just for the hardware on the line, but because a win would set up a blockbuster unification showdown in November with WBA titleholder Fernando Daniel Martinez. The pressure is real, but if history is any indicator, Rodríguez thrives under it.

The undercard is stacked as well, featuring the likes of Diego Pacheco, Austin “Ammo” Williams, and rising Indian boxing sensation Nishant Dev, promising a full night of world-class action.
