DANIEL BLANCAS VS. RAUL SALOMON

A stablemate of headliner David Benavidez, Daniel Blancas will put his undefeated record on the line against dangerous Mexican veteran Raul Salomon in a 10-round super middleweight affair.

Originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Blancas (14-0 7 KOs) is unbeaten since turning pro in 2022 and will make his 2026 debut following an impressive three-win 2025. The 24-year-old opened the year with a dominant unanimous decision triumph over the previously unbeaten Juan Barajas, before scoring an explosive first round knockout of Kwame Ritter in May. Most recently, Blancas stopped William Townsel in three rounds in December.

“I’m honored to be headlining on Prime Video on May 2,” said Blancas. “This is an incredible card and I can’t wait to give the fans an exciting fight and show my skills. This is gonna be a great night Cinco de Mayo weekend.”

The 27-year-old Salomon (16-3-1, 14 KOs) is unbeaten in his last five outings, including his last bout that saw him stop Juan Carlos Perez Rojo in two rounds in February. A native of Ciudad Morelos, Baja California, Mexico, Salomon has never been stopped, with his three decision defeats coming to opponents with a combined record of 36-1-1 at the time he faced them. He racked up eight-straight stoppage wins after turning pro in October 2020 and has plenty of experience fighting stateside as he prepares for his ninth U.S. outing.

“I’m very prepared for May 2,” said Salomon. “I really feel like I belong in this position and I’m eager to show everyone that this is just the beginning for me.”

JUAN CARRILLO VS. MARLO DELGADO

In a rare battle of Olympians with undefeated pro records, Colombia’s Juan Carrillo will go up against Ecuador’s Marlo Delgado in an eight-round light heavyweight attraction.

A native of boxing-rich Barranquilla, Colombia, Carrillo (14-0, 10 KOs) represented his home country at the 2016 Olympics before turning pro in 2019. The 33-year-old now trains in Las Vegas as he looks to build on his most recent outing, a February 2025 first-round KO of Cristian Andres Pena. Currently ranked number 23 by the WBC, Carrillo owns a victory over then unbeaten Richard Vansiclen as well as amateur triumphs over former champion Hassan N’Dam and former title challenger Liam Williams.

“Marlo Delgado is a tough fighter, and I respect anybody who steps in the ring, but I see openings in his style that I’m gonna take advantage of,” said Carrillo. “I’m coming into this fight with a chip on my shoulder and ready to fight like everything is on the line, because it is. Fans can expect action. I’m not here to coast. I’m here to dominate and make it clear I’m a problem in this division.”

After representing his native Ibarra, Ecuador at the 2012 Olympics, Delgado (8-0, 6 KOs) continued to have a prolific amateur career that included sharing the ring with a who’s who of big names including Dmitry Bivol, Terrell Gausha and Christian Mbilli, in addition to triumphs over notable names such as Misael Rodriguez and Endry Saavedra. The 32-year-old began his pro journey in 2019, with his eight fights split between Ecuador and Panama ahead of his U.S. debut on May 2.

“I’m extremely motivated to show what I’m capable of on May 2,” said Delgado. “This is the kind of opportunity I need to prove that I’m ready for the next level. This is going to be a really exciting fight between two Olympians who want to be world champion. I can’t wait to work my hardest to steal the show.”

DYLAN CAPETILLO VS. TBA

The son of renowned trainer Jorge Capetillo, Dylan Capetillo (1-0, 1 KOs) recently made his pro debut at just 17-years-old, blasting out Jesus Antonio Rios Castro in one round on April 11. Following up on an impressive amateur career, the Las Vegas-native looks to add another victory when he steps in for a four-round welterweight bout on May 2.
