Boxing schedule for April 29-May 3, 2026: Naoya Inoue vs Junto Nakatani, David Benavidez vs Zurdo Ramirez, and more

Saturday, May 2nd

DAZN PPV, 5:40 am ET, Naoya Inoue vs Junto Nakatani. From Tokyo, Japan. For Inoue’s undisputed super bantamweight (WBC, WBO, IBF, WBA) titles. One of, if not the absolute, best fights possible in the sport of boxing today. Inoue has started showing the slightest of cracks in his invincible aura as he’s moved up and up into the fifth weight class where he’s won a world title. Nakatani is five years younger, and facing his most frequent comp in terms of smaller fighter excitement and all-around excellence. Not sure what it costs to see this one as a standalone PPV, because DAZN is VERY cagey about putting that number out in public. Undercard features Takuma Inoue defending his WBC bantamweight belt against Kazuto Ioka. BLH will have live updates

DAZN, 2:00 pm ET, Conah Walker vs Sam Eggington. From Wolverhampton, England. Tragic, but understandable, that a domestic level fight like this gets overshadowed on such a busy day for boxing. But, both men have brought great entertainment in the past, and this has Fight of the Year of the Week potential. Good matchups down the roster, honestly, with Bilal Fawaz defending his pair of domestic belts against Ryan Kelly, plus Kieron Conway vs Mark Jeffers.

Amazon Prime PPV/DAZN PPV, 8:00 pm ET, David Benavidez vs Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez. From Las Vegas, Nevada, for Ramirez’s WBO and WBA cruiserweight titles. Benavidez makes the jump from light heavyweight, where he holds two world titles, to make the megafight with reigning unified cruiserweight champion Ramirez. DAZN’s landing page for this one shows the same PPV price as Prime, at $79.99. There are articles out there indicating this will be part of the DAZN Ultimate package, but this is a PBC topline promotion, and I can tell you that the Inoue-Nakatani fight doesn’t show any sort of individual fight PPV price the way this one does. I won’t tell you it’s part of the package, because I don’t know for sure and I don’t want to mislead anyone. But, I’m sure our regulars that have an Ultimate subscription will share their observations in the comments below. Armando Resendiz fights Jaime Munguia in support, where Oscar Duarte also appears. Prelims start at 5:30 pm. BLH will have live updates

Sunday, May 3rd

DAZN, 11:00 am ET, Top Tier Boxing. From London, England. Main event is Yaser Al Ghena defending his three domestic/Euro belts against Bradley Townsend. Sam Noakes appears on the undercard in an eight-rounder.
