HAMILTON, Ontario — Canadian lightweight prospect Eric Basran is set for the biggest fight of his career, headlining “The Homecoming” boxing card on May 30 at Royal King Palace in Metro Vancouver, British Columbia.
The event, promoted by Three Lions Promotions, will see Basran compete for the vacant WBC International Silver Lightweight title against Chilean champion Sebastian Caucaman.
Basran Steps Into First 10-Round Main Event
Basran (8-1, 3 KOs), fighting out of Surrey, B.C., returns home after gaining valuable international experience, including participation in last year’s WBC Grand Prix in Saudi Arabia, where he suffered his first professional defeat.
Now, he believes that setback has helped shape him into a more complete fighter.
“This will be the biggest fight of my life,” Basran said. “I learned so much in Saudi Arabia and I’m ready to showcase my improved skills.”
The 27-year-old will be stepping into his first scheduled 10-round bout, a significant milestone as he moves closer to world-level contention.
Sebastian Caucaman Brings Momentum Into Title Fight
Across the ring stands Caucaman (5-1-1, 2 KOs), the reigning Chilean lightweight champion, who enters the fight with confidence after a dominant performance last October.
In that bout, Caucaman delivered a one-sided 10-round unanimous decision victory to capture his national title, showcasing both durability and ring IQ over championship distance.

Surrey light heavyweight contender and former amateur champion returns in an 8-round co-feature.
