\u201cThat will be on the West Coast and it will be another big card,\u201d said Hearn. \u201cDiego Pacheco<\/a> will fight on that card. There will be some world championship fights on there and some of our other top talent. We are ending the year very strong, and I think you will see our best schedule ever starting in 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pacheco (24-0, 18 KOs) has fought twice since, scoring a unanimous decision against Steven Nelson in January and a unanimous decision against Trevor McCumby in July<\/a>.
Also set to be featured on the card is Ernesto \u201cTito\u201d Mercado<\/a>, a 23-year-old knockout artist from Pomona, California. Mercado (17-0, 16 KOs) told The Ring that he\u2019s preparing to fight on this card against an opponent still to be determined.
Mercado made his Matchroom debut in January by knocking out former titleholder Jose Pedraza in just four rounds. He was supposed to return in June but pulled out of his planned fight after an injury before fight week. <\/a><\/p>\n
