All fighters have successfully made weight ahead of tomorrow night's Golden Boy Promotions card, headlined by the WBA Super Middleweight Eliminator between Bektemir Melikuziev and Darius Fulghum. The action kicks off live from The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, streaming worldwide on DAZN.

The main event saw both combatants hit their marks for the crucial 12-round WBA Super Middleweight Eliminator. Uzbekistan's Bektemir Melikuziev (15-1, 10 KOs), fighting out of Shaolimbek, tipped the scales at a lean 166.8 lbs. His opponent, the undefeated Darius Fulghum (14-0, 2 KOs) from Houston, TX, came in slightly heavier at 167.6 lbs, setting the stage for a compelling clash of styles with a world title shot on the line.

In the co-main event, a 10-round middleweight showdown, Eric Priest (15-0, 8 KOs) of Los Angeles, CA, weighed in at 159.8 lbs. He will face Luis Arias (22-4-1, 11 KOs) from Milwaukee, WI, who registered 158 lbs, promising a competitive encounter in the middleweight division.

The card also features two heavyweight bouts, each scheduled for 6 rounds. Joshua Edwards (1-0, 1 KO) of Houston, TX, weighed a formidable 222.4 lbs against Alexander Rhodes (2-1, 1 KO) of West Columbia, SC, who came in at 273.8 lbs. In the other heavyweight clash, Federico Pacheco Jr. (8-0, 6 KOs) from Los Angeles, CA, weighed 259.4 lbs, while Calvin Barnett (5-2, 2 KOs) of Tulsa, OK, was 270.4 lbs.

The DAZN opener will see Cayden Griffiths (4-0, 4 KOs) of Indio, CA, at 149 lbs, taking on Edgar Gutierrez (3-2, 2 KOs) from Yuma, AZ, who weighed 146.6 lbs, in a 6-round super welterweight contest.

Also on the card, in an 8-round middleweight bout, Grant Flores (9-0, 7 KOs) of Coachella, CA, weighed 156.4 lbs. His opponent, Brandon Campos (6-0, 0 KOs) of Hastings, NE, has yet to record his weight, listed as TBD.

A 10-round super welterweight fight features Santiago Dominguez (27-1, 20 KOs) of Phoenix, AZ, at 149.6 lbs, against John Moralde (27-5, 16 KOs) from General Santos City, Philippines, who weighed 155.8 lbs.

Completing the lineup is an 8-round super lightweight contest between Daniel Garcia (11-0, 9 KOs) of Denver, CO, at 135.4 lbs, and Camilo Rodriguez (10-3, 8 KOs) from Bogota, Colombia, who came in at 135.6 lbs.
