DAZN News and Notes: Barboza vs. Sims & Chisora vs. Wilder on Deck for DAZN

Starting off March with a bang, DAZN’s 2026 boxing slate continued its action-packed start following Emanuel Navarrete’s dismantling of Eduardo Nunez, unifying WBO and IBF titles via an 11th round TKO.

The action continues this Saturday, March 14, when Arnold Barboza Jr. (32-1, 11 KOs) faces Kenneth “Bossman” Sims Jr. (22-3-1, 8 KOs) in a must-win fight for both boxers. Sims Jr. most recently took a controversial loss at the hands of Oscar Duarte in August, while Barboza lost his WBO World Super Lightweight fight to Teofimo Lopez last May.

Both fighters look to get back to their winning ways in Anaheim, Calif., as former interim champion Barboza Jr. seeks another shot at a title while Sims Jr. looks to initiate another nine fight win streak in the Honda Center. Main event ring walks are set to commence at 11 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. PT.

The stacked undercard puts the WBA, WBO and Ring minimumweight titles on the line when Oscar Collazo (13-0, 10 KOs) challenges Jesus Haro (13-3, 2 KOs) in the co-main event.

Undisputed and undefeated flyweight champion Gabriela Fundora (17-0, 9 KOs) will fight Viviana Ruiz Corredor (10-2, 5 KOs) with her IBF, WBA, WBC, WBO and Ring Flyweight Titles on the line in a highly anticipated 10-round bout.

Another premier fight takes place this Saturday in Ireland when Anthony Cacace (24-1, 9 KOs) challenges Jazza Dickens (36-5, 15 KOs) for his WBA super featherweight belt. Coverage from Dublin for Dickens’ first title defense begins at 2 p.m. ET / 11 a.m. PT.

Rolling into next month, DAZN’s boxing coverage will see former heavyweight world champion Deontay Wilder (44-4-1, 43 KOs) face two-time world title contender Derek Chisora (36-13, 23 KOs) at the O2 in London on April 4.

In both heavyweight’s 50th professional fight, Chisora seeks his fourth-straight win to head into retirement while Wilder also heads to London fresh off a TKO of Tyrrell Anthony Herndon. The pair of longtime friends were set to fight 13 years ago before Wilder’s withdrawal to travel issues, but will finally get a chance to duke it out on Chisora’s home soil on April 4.
