EL PASO, TEXAS (July 10, 2015) – Undefeated 140-pound contender Amir “Young Master” Imam (17-0, 14 KOs) will take on veteran former world title challenger Fernando “”La Fiera” Angulo (29-9, 16 KOs) in a 10-round WBC super lightweight title eliminator in the opening bout of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® on Saturday, July 18, live on SHOWTIME (10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT) from the Don Haskins Center in El Paso, Texas.

“I’m excited for the fight. My dream is finally coming true,” Imam said. “This is basically my title shot right here. This is the biggest fight of my career and I know I can’t mess it up. Not everyone gets to make it here, but I get to show the world my talents once again.”

A professional since 1999, Angulo is currently riding a five-fight win streak, with his most recent victory coming in November 2014 via a 10-round decision over Pedro Verdu. The native of Caracas, Venezuela via Ecuador made his U.S. debut in 2006 in a fight televised on SHOWTIME, losing a 12-round decision for the WBA Lightweight Title against Juan Diaz in Arizona.

“I’m excited to face Amir Imam on July 18,” Angulo said. “This is a great opportunity for me to get a huge win on SHOWTIME and in front of the great boxing fans in El Paso. I’m not going to waste this chance.”

Imam vs. Angulo joins a rare afternoon-evening doubleheader as CBS Sports and SHOWTIME combine to televise no less than five fights from the Don Haskins Center in West Texas.

Premier Boxing Champions on CBS will kick-off the action with a doubleheader featuring the U.S. debut of Irish champion Carl Frampton (20-0, 14 KOs), who will defend his Junior Featherweight World Championship against Mexican contender Alejandro “Cobrita” Gonzalez Jr. (25-1-2, 15 KOs) in the 12-round main event. In the PBC on CBS co-main event, heavyweight contender Chris Arreola (36-4, 31 KOs) will return to the ring against Cameroonian heavyweight Frederic Kassi (18-3, 10 KOs).

Later that evening, SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING takes center stage as Mexican superstar Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (48-2-1, 32 KOs) aims for redemption against fellow Mexican brawler Marcos Reyes (33-2, 24 KOs) in his first fight with renowned trainer Robert Garcia in a 10-round super middleweight bout.

WBC FEMALE SUPER FLYWEIGHT TITLE ZULINA “LA LOBA” MUNOZ VS. ALESIA “THE TIGRESS” GRAF AND PABLO CESAR “EL DEMOLEDOR” CANO VS. FERNANDO ANGULO

LOS ANGELES (Feb. 26) – A true women’s Superfight will take place at the World Trade Center in Naucalpan, Mexico on Saturday, March 1, as Golden Boy Promotions and Canelo Promotions present the WBC Female Super Flyweight Championship fight between champion Zulina “La Loba” Munoz and challenger Alesia “The Tigress” Graf, a highly-anticipated rematch which will be broadcast live on Televisa and FOX Deportes.

In the co-main event, scheduled for 10 rounds in the super lightweight division, Mexico City’s Pablo Cesar “El Demoledor” Cano takes on veteran Fernando “La Fiera” Angulo of Argentina.

“Sangre Mexiquense” is presented by Golden Boy Promotions and Canelo Promotions and sponsored by Corona. Doors open at 5 p.m. CT and the first fight begins at 6 p.m. CT. The Televisa broadcast begins at 10:30 p.m. The FOX Deportes broadcast begins at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT.

If not for a 10-round decision loss to Alesia Graf on September 15, 2007, San Vicente Chicoloapan, Estado de Mexico, Zulina “La Loba” Munoz (40-1-2, 26 KOs) would be unbeaten as a professional. But after going undefeated in her next 26 fights, the 26-year-old world champion will get her shot at redemption against her rival. In her most recent bout, in November of 2013, Munoz retained her title with an eighth round disqualification win over Marisa Johanna Portillo, and now she gets the fight she’s been waiting for.

A native of Belarus now fighting out of New South Wales, Australia, Alesia “The Tigress” Graf (26-3, 11 KOs) is a former world champion seeking gold once again, and with wins in 16 of her last 18 bouts, the 33-year-old female fighting star is in the form necessary to repeat her 2007 win over Munoz in her home country.

Bouncing back from disputed losses to Paulie Malignaggi and Sugar Shane Mosley, 24-year-old Pablo Cesar Cano (27-3-1, 20 KOs) got back in the win column in a big way last September in Las Vegas when he won an exciting split decision over Ashley Theophane. Now on track again to pursue a world title shot in 2014, Cano will begin his fighting year on March 1 with a battle against always tough Fernando Angulo.

A native of Ecuador who now makes his home in Buenos Aires, Argentina, 33-year-old Fernando “La Fiera” Angulo (26-9, 15 KOs) has won three of his last four bouts, including a January 2013 win over Juan Manuel Bonanni that earned him the interim WBC Latino and South American welterweight titles. A former world title challenger, this 14 year veteran is hoping to show that with a win over Cano, he’s ready to make a move back into the world title picture.
