This week, fans of combat sports are in for a treat as multiple boxing events take center stage across various platforms. From the WBC Boxing Grand Prix featuring young talent to international matchups in Switzerland and California, there is no shortage of action-packed fights to watch. The schedule includes heavyweight, middleweight, super lightweight, and featherweight tournaments under the WBC banner, alongside notable main events such as Kevin Brown versus Esteuri Suero and Gabriela Fundora defending her undisputed flyweight title. With diverse formats like six-round bouts and "WBC enhanced scoring" rules introduced to determine winners in case of draws, these events promise both excitement and competitive performances. Whether you're tuning into DAZN or TrillerTV+, this week offers ample opportunities to witness rising stars and seasoned professionals in action.

Starting on Thursday, the WBC Boxing Grand Prix kicks off its first round with Day 1 airing live on DAZN at 8:00 am ET. This collaboration between the WBC and Riyadh Season brings together 128 fighters early in their careers, most under the age of 27, competing in a series of 32-man tournaments across four weight divisions. These preliminary rounds will continue throughout the week, showcasing talents in heavyweight, middleweight, super lightweight, and featherweight categories. Each fight consists of six rounds, with open scoring after the second and fourth rounds. Additionally, an intricate system known as “WBC enhanced scoring” has been implemented to ensure all matches result in declared winners and losers, even in cases of ties. Winning one of these tournaments could significantly propel a fighter's career forward, offering them increased visibility akin to Olympic-level exposure.

On Friday, the boxing action heats up further with multiple broadcasts scheduled. First up is another installment of the WBC Boxing Grand Prix Round 1, Day 2, also available on DAZN at 8:00 am ET. Later that day, Swiss Pro Boxing takes the spotlight on TrillerTV+ starting at 9:30 am ET from Berne, Switzerland. Headlined by Angelo Pena and Karim Guerfi battling for a minor WBO title, this card features only three additional fights listed on BoxRec so far. However, Triller promises free prelims in either English or German, hinting at more surprises ahead. Meanwhile, back on DAZN at 8:00 pm ET, Boxlab Promotions presents a compelling lineup including Kevin Brown facing Esteuri Suero in the main event. Heavyweights Leiner Pero and Gurgen Hovhannisyan add extra intrigue through separate supporting contests.

Saturday continues the momentum with two significant cards broadcasted on DAZN. At 8:00 am ET, the WBC Boxing Grand Prix wraps up its third day, concluding the initial phase of competition. Then, later in the afternoon at 2:00 pm ET, Matchroom delivers a show from Sheffield featuring Dalton Smith against Mathieu Germain. Smith, recognized as the number one contender by the WBC, aims to secure his position as the next challenger for Alberto Puello. Complementing this bout, Caoimhin Agyarko meets Ryan Kelly on the undercard, joined by Josh Warrington and former Shakur Stevenson opponent Josh Padley. In the evening at 8:00 pm ET, Golden Boy Productions hosts a major event in Oceanside, California, where undisputed flyweight champion Gabriela Fundora defends her titles against Marilyn Badillo. Supporting acts include Charles Conwell, Tristan Kalkreuth, and Bek Melikuziev, each bringing unique dynamics to the evening.

Rounding out the weekend, UFC Fight Pass airs Hollywood Fight Nights from Commerce, California, beginning at 8:00 pm ET. Sadriddin Akhmedov squares off against Elias Espadas in the main event, while Umar Dzambekov headlines the chief support over eight rounds. The remaining fights consist of shorter bouts lasting six rounds or less, ensuring a fast-paced conclusion to the week's festivities. As the calendar progresses into April, these events collectively underscore the global appeal and growing interest in professional boxing and mixed martial arts, providing fans worldwide with thrilling entertainment options.
