Super welterweight contender Carlos Adames will take on Mexico’s Alexis Salazar in a 10-round showdown on the SHOWTIME PPV undercard this Saturday, June 26 from the award-winning State Farm Arena in Atlanta in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

Adames vs. Salazar replaces the previously scheduled Julian Williams vs. Brian Mendoza fight, after Williams was forced to withdraw because of an elbow injury.

The event is headlined by four-time world champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis as he seeks a title in a third weight class against unbeaten WBA Super Lightweight Champion Mario “El Azteca” Barrios in the main event of a SHOWTIME PPV telecast that begins at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.

Tickets for the live event at State Farm Arena, which is promoted by Mayweather Promotions, GTD Promotions and TGB Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased at Ticketmaster: Buy Verified Tickets for Concerts, Sports, Theater and Events.

A native of Comendador, Dominican Republic, Adames (19-1, 15 KOs) fights out of New York City as he seeks to earn a second shot at a world championship. The 27-year-old defeated a slew of contenders on his way to a 2019 title shot that he lost by narrow decision to Patrick Teixeira. Adames defeated former champion Carlos Molina, and contenders Frank Galarza, Joshua Conley and Alejandro Barrera to earn that opportunity at a title.

The 25-year-old Salazar (23-3, 9 KOs) rides a 15-fight winning streak into this matchup. Most recently, Salazar earned a unanimous decision over Ruben Barajas in their December 2020 clash. Originally from Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico and now fighting out of Norwalk, Calif., Salazar will fight in the U.S. for the sixth time Saturday night. His previous stateside outing saw him dominate Abraham Cordero to earn a unanimous decision in May 2019.

The non-televised undercard will feature Cuban contender Leduan Barthelemy (16-1-1, 8 KOs) meeting unbeaten Viktor Slavinsky (12-0-1, 6 KOs) in an eight-round super featherweight fight, former title challenger Andres Gutierrez (38-2-1, 25 KOs) in an eight-round super lightweight attraction, unbeaten prospect Dalton Brodie (1-0, 1 KO) competing in a four-round super middleweight duel against fellow-unbeaten Trever Bradshaw (1-0) and undefeated Washington, D.C. born prospect Stacey Selby (2-0, 2 KOs) entering the ring in a four-round super lightweight bout.

Mexican that won't duck?
I'm sure Tank and his team tried so hard to get a fight with Valdez or Bercelt before he got beat by Valdez :mjlol:

This dude moving up and down in weightclasses based on where his handlers have other fighters. It's a joke, I don't see any career plan other than getting money from him until they can. Or collecting regular titles like they were infinity stones would be the plan?
Either dragging up fighters from 126 and 122 or making an unnecessary move to a division where he doesn't belong just cause they are lazy to deal with others.

Will the WBA fukk over Taylor too like they did Machado when he beat the legit champ Corrales at 130? :unimpressed: They put that guy a regular and they wrote out Tank vs 126er Cuellar for the "Super".

Hasn't fought one single top 130ers since he beat Pedraza and he was in the division for years.

I know "but Farmer didn't take the fight..." well Farmer wasn't the only viable challenge for him from "out of house", far from it.
When Floyd was saying he about to put him with Loma, he complained Floyd wants to sabotage his career. Compare that to Haney's or Teo's mentality. Former got into a mandatory position only to find out Loma's going the franchise route, latter fought and beat him.

I liked this guy earlier, around the time he fought Pedraza and his fighting style is still entertaining imo but all that happened outside the ring plus his lackluster career made most of my hype go away.

Now this will be at least interesting from the size standpoint. I guess at the end of the day he has enough to beat Barrios at 140 but he gonna be at 140 like how Mikey Garcia is at 147. Capable of beating B level guys but no chance against the few top guys. He'd be better off at 130 or 135, dude ain't even big at 135, he just blows up between fights but his frame is small compared to your average 135er.
