Fight fans tuning in early on May 2 are in for fireworks before the main event even begins. The stacked undercard for the highly anticipated David Benavidez vs. Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez pay-per-view has been reshuffled — and the new additions could steal the show.
Taking place at T-Mobile Arena, the event is shaping up to be one of the biggest boxing nights of 2026, headlined by an all-Mexican super fight. But the undercard? It’s now loaded with rising stars, knockout artists, and must-watch matchups.
New Opening Fight Announced
Kicking off the PPV is an unbeaten clash between two hungry contenders:
- Jorge Chavez (15-0-1, 8 KOs) vs. Jose “Tito” Sanchez (15-0, 9 KOs)
Super Bantamweight – 10 rounds
Both fighters are undefeated and entering their primes, making this a high-stakes opener with serious title implications.
“I’m so thankful to be a fighter of Mexican descent competing on pay-per-view on the world’s biggest stage on Cinco de Mayo weekend,” Chavez said.
“I’ve worked so hard my entire life for this opportunity and I intend to put on a great show May 2. Viva Mexico!”
Sanchez echoed that excitement:
“On May 2, I will finally get my chance to fight on a huge card in Las Vegas and fulfill a dream I’ve had ever since I was a kid… I want to thank my family and my whole team for this opportunity to shine.”
Rising Star Steps In
Another key change sees undefeated prospect Isaac “Puro México” Lucero now facing Argentina-born puncher Ismael Flores:
- Isaac Lucero (18-0, 14 KOs) vs. Ismael Flores (17-1-1, 12 KOs)

Lucero enters riding serious momentum with seven straight stoppage wins.
“I’m very grateful to my team… Fighting on Cinco de Mayo weekend is every Mexican boxer’s dream,” Lucero said. “I will show everyone why I’m ‘Puro México!’”
