What time is Diego Pacheco vs. Immanuwel Aleem tonight? How to watch, date, ringwalks, undercard, prediction, odds

One of boxing's rising stars returns to action tonight as Diego Pacheco takes on Immanuwel Aleem from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California, live on DAZN.

Pacheco (25-0, 18 KOs) returns for the first time in 2026. He last fought in December, beating Kevin Lele Sadjo by unanimous decision to go 3-0 in 2025. Recently, he signed a new contract with Matchroom Boxing as he looks to get his first crack at a 168-pound world title in the near future. 

Standing in his way of that chance is Aleem (22-4-3, 14 KOs). The 32-year-old looks to get back on track after losing a decision to interim WBC super middleweight champion Lester Martinez in March that snapped his five-fight unbeaten streak.

Can Pacheco get over the hump, or will Aleem prove to be the roadblock standing in his way?
