LAS VEGAS – March 29, 2024 – A showdown between unbeaten prospects will now kick off PBC on Prime Video action as teenage phenom Curmel Moton takes on Anthony Cuba in an eight-round super featherweight clash this Saturday, March 30 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Elijah Garcia was originally scheduled to top the live streaming presentation against Kyrone Davis, but was forced to withdraw due to illness. The show will now be topped by 154-pound contenders Serhii Bohachuk and Brian Mendoza in a duel for the Interim WBC Super Welterweight Title.
PBC on Prime Video action begins at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT and is available via free access to all fans, regardless of Prime membership or purchase of the PPV card.
Tickets for the live event, which is promoted by TGB Promotions, are available now through AXS.com. The main event is promoted in association with No Limit Boxing.
These fights precede a PBC Pay-Per-View event available on Prime Video headlined by undefeated rising star Tim Tszyu taking on all-action contender Sebastian “The Towering Inferno” Fundora for Tszyu’s WBO title and the vacant WBC 154-pound world title.
The pay-per-view will begin at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT and also features WBA Super Lightweight World Champion Rolando “Rolly” Romero taking on Mexican star Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz in the co-main event, plus WBA Middleweight World Champion Erislandy “The American Dream” Lara duels Australia’s Michael Zerafa in a 12-round attraction. The pay-per-view opener will now see WBC Flyweight World Champion Julio César Martínez defending his world title against unbeaten contender Angelino Cordova.
The highly-touted 17-year-old Moton (2-0, 2 KOs) had made waves coming out of the Mayweather Promotions stable and turned pro last year with a pair of knockout victories over previously unbeaten foes. Born in Salt Lake City, Utah and now residing in Las Vegas, Moton ended each of his pro fights in one round, stopping Ezequel Flores in September and Hunter Turbyfill in November.
A native of Los Angeles, Cuba (7-0-2, 3 KOs) added three victories to his ledger in 2023, including most recently dominating Angel Barrera across six rounds on his way to a unanimous decision in December. The 21-year-old has fought professionally since 2020, and put together his three-fight winning streak following a split draw in September 2022.
