Isaac "Pitbull" Cruz returns to the ring for the first time in 2023 as he is set to take on Giovanni Cabrera in a WBC and WBA lightweight title eliminator.
The fight serves as the co-main event for the July 29 undisputed welterweight title bout between Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford, with Cruz and Cabrera hoping to provide early excitement ahead of one of the most anticipated fights in recent memory.
Cruz won both of his matches in 2022 after losing to Gervonta Davis in Dec. 2021. The 25-year-old looks to put himself back into world title contention, with 29-year-old Cabrera standing in his way.
Cabrera enters this fight having extended his perfect record to 21-0 in his last bout, a July 2022 unanimous decision victory over Gabriel Flores Jr.
