Description

Southern California pride meets Chicago grit as Arnold Barboza Jr. and Kenneth "Bossman" Sims Jr. headline a high-stakes Golden Boy Promotions card at the Honda Center. This matchup marks a pivotal career crossroads for both men as they simultaneously make their debut in the 147-pound welterweight division. Barboza Jr. (32-1, 11 KOs) returns to the ring for the first time since a narrow loss to Teofimo Lopez last May, looking to prove his refined technical style can translate to championship success at a higher weight. Sims Jr. (22-3-1, 8 KOs), known for his elite back-foot boxing and high-volume output, is equally hungry for redemption after a majority decision defeat to Oscar Duarte. With both fighters viewing this as a "do-or-die" opportunity to re-enter the world title conversation, fans can expect a tactical battle of wills under the bright lights of Anaheim.
