Christy Martin’s “Mayhem in Music City 2” to Feature Undefeated Vic Hernandez Facing Jayvon Garnett for NABA & Jr. NABF Featherweight Championships PhilBoxing.com Wed, 09 Jul 2025  Saturday, August 2, 2025, at the Fairgrounds Arena in Nashville and live on Millions.co PPV July 8, 2025, Nashville, TN – On Saturday, August 2, 2025, at the Fairgrounds Arena in Nashville, Tennessee, Christy Martin Promotions will proudly present “Mayhem in Music City 2” a night of action-packed professional boxing featuring Victor “Jalapeno” Hernandez (14-0, 12 KOs) taking on Jayvon “El Elegido” Garnett (10-2, 5 KOs) for the NABA & Junior NABF Featherweight Championships in the 10-round main event. The event will also be broadcast live on Millions.co Pay Per View. Also scheduled in the co-featured bout will be undefeated super middleweight Djibril “The Messenger” Diakite (10-0, 8 KOs) of Queens, New York, facing proven trialhorse Cleotis “Mookie” Pendarvis (22-24-2, 9 KOs) over eight rounds. Tickets for “Mayhem in Music City 2” start at $60.70 (incl. $5.20 Fee & $5.39 Tax) and are available from Eventbrite. After just 30 amateur fights, Victor “Jalapeno” Hernandez turned professional in mid-2021 and won the North American Boxing Association USA Featherweight Championship with a fourth-round knockout over Jose Edgardo Garcia in his ninth fight in February of last year. Based in El Paso, TX/Kenner, Louisiana, Hernandez is blessed with the natural punching power of a much larger fighter and utilizes a classic Mexican style because he wants his fans to enjoy watching him as much as he enjoys being in the ring. Hernandez works with renowned trainer Craig Duncan, and is signed to Christy Martin Promotions. Jayvon “El Elegido” Garnett hails from the boxing talent-laden city of Cincinnati, Ohio, where he first put on a pair of boxing gloves at the age of six. He had a stellar amateur career fighting over 110 times, developing his style and sharpening his skills in Ohio’s very competitive amateur boxing scene. The 30-year-old Garnett combines exceptional quickness and accuracy with a propensity for power. He won the IBO Americas Featherweight Championship with a unanimous decision over Jose Argel in June 2021. A lanky 6′ tall puncher with an aggressive style, Queens, New York’s Diakite (pronounced Dee a Key Tay) had just one amateur fight before turning professional in July 2021. Still a work in progress with tremendous potential, 25-year-old Diakite has won his last four fights by knockout. He was last seen in the ring in May of this year, where he scored a second-round stoppage of Manny Woods in Nashville. A gifted artist and social activist in his spare time, Diakite attended Brooklyn College and hopes to one day become a high school science teacher. A Los Angeles native, Cleotis Pendarvis turned professional in November of 2004. Calling himself “Best Underdog in Boxing” Pendarvis has made a career out of taking on any and all comers, including several world champions and top contenders all the way from 141 to 176 lbs., and scored several upset victories along the way. Pendarvis is a former IBF/USBA, WBC/USNBC, WBF/USA, WBF/Intercontinental, and California State Champion and has been rated as high as #7 in the world from 2010 to 2013 at 140 lbs. Pendarvis was one of the sparring partners of Antonio Margarito for his November 13, 2010, fight with Manny Pacquiao. Several exciting undercard matchups are also scheduled; matchups will be announced soon. “This is going to be a fantastic show,” said promoter Christy Martin. “Hernandez vs. Garnett will be a war between two hungry prospects. Djibril Diakite is in the toughest test of his young career against one of boxing’s best spoilers in Mookie Pendarvis. We’ve got several local and international prospects on the undercard. I’m excited to be bringing this event to Nashville live and to the viewers on Millions.co pay-per-view. PPV broadcast information will be announced soon. On fight night, doors will open at 6 pm and the first fight starts at 7 pm. The Fairgrounds Arena is located at 401 Wingrove Street in Nashville. Please use the “Expo 3” entrance from Wedgewood.  |
