Efe “The Silent Roller” Ajagba, hailing from Nigeria with an 18-1, 13 KOs record, is gearing up to throw down with Australia’s Joe “The Upset Artist” Goodall, who’s notching the scales at 10-1-1, 9 KOs. This Saturday night, they’re going to set the Tahoe Blue Event Center ablaze with a ten-round heavyweight slugfest that’s got everyone talking.
Rewind to their amateur days, and you’ll find Goodall handed Ajagba a loss in the semifinals at the Commonwealth Games. Fast-forward to now, and it’s payback time. We’re talking a clash that could slingshot the victor right up to the doorstep of a title shot.
Let’s not sleep on the co-main event where Raymond “Danger” Muratalla, with a clean 18-0, 15 KOs sheet, is squaring up against Mexico’s own Diego “The Detonator” Torres, who’s also unbeaten with an explosive 18-0, 17 KOs. Lightweights, sure, but with heavy-hitting reputations.

Adding some meat to the card is heavyweight hopeful Brandon Moore, stepping into Top Rank territory for the first time with his 12-0, 8 KOs, against Robert Simms, who’s not just there to make up the numbers at 12-3-1, 3 KOs. Plus, we’ve got Henry Lebron and William Foster III, two junior lightweights who’ve yet to taste defeat, duking it out to keep their records spotless.
Lower down the ticket but no less fiery, Lindolfo Delgado and Luis Hernandez are bringing a bit of Mexico to Nevada in a junior welterweight face-off. And let’s not forget Carson City’s Christian Avalos, looking to make a name for himself in a lightweight four-rounder against Estevan Partida.
