Raymond Muratalla vs. Robson Conceição IBF title fight set for Aug. 1 co-main event blockbuster

One of boxing's most exciting fighters returns to action in a prime spot.

It was revealed on Monday that IBF lightweight champion Raymond Muratalla (24-0, 17 KOs) will make the second defense of his championship against former world champion Robson “O Brabo” Conceição (21-3-1, 10 KOs) as the co-feature to the WBC lightweight title clash between Lamont Roach Jr. vs. William Zepeda on Saturday, Aug. 1, at The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas live on DAZN and TNT.

Back in January, Muratalla beat Andy Cruz in an action-packed affair to successfully defend the IBF belt. Now, Muratalla looks to take care of business with the stakes even higher on Aug. 1.

“After my last fight, the boxing world really got to know who I am,” Muratalla said in a statement. “People saw me as the underdog, even though I was the champion, and I showed that I can’t be underestimated. Now I’m defending my title against another Olympic gold medalist, and I plan to look even better. I’m focused, I’m ready, and I’m handling business on August 1.”

Conceicao, a former WBA super featherweight champion, returns for the second time in 2026. In April, Conceicao won via unanimous decision over Heiber Rojas. A golden opportunity awaits the 37-year-old in what could be his final shot to capture gold.

“They said it was impossible when I dreamed of winning an Olympic gold medal,” Conceição also said in a statement. “They said that when I pursued my first world title. I accomplished both, and it’s no different now. I have a lot of respect for Raymond Muratalla, but I’m ready for this challenge. I want to prove that determination, experience, and the heart of a champion can overcome any obstacle. On August 1, I will fight for myself, for my family, and for all of Brazil.”

“Raymond Muratalla has solidified himself as one of the top lightweights in the world. His recent decisive victory against Andy Cruz reinforced his elite status in boxing,” Top Rank President, Todd duBoef said.“This upcoming defense against Olympic Gold medalist and former world champion Robson Conceição will have the fans entertained from the first bell. This bout is an excellent addition to the August installment of TNT Sports and DAZN’s ‘The Fight’ series, which is delivering quality, compelling matches for fight fans throughout the world.”
