Cardoso, 17-1 (15 KOs), trains in Brazil but finishes his camps in Florida with Marc Farrait. The 25-year-old is riding a three-fight win streak after his lone loss, including a split-decision victory over Adam Lopez in May on ProBox TV. Ramirez, 28-4-3 (13 KOs), is 1-2 in his last three outings, though those losses came against elite opponents in Mark Magsayo and Isaac Cruz. The 31-year-old Mexican moves back to lightweight for this bout, where he previously faced Cruz.

The co-feature highlights the return of unbeaten featherweight Luis Nunez, 19-0 (13 KOs), who is trained by Bob Santos. Nunez, 25, ends a year-and-a-half layoff after last fighting in April 2023. His opponent, Leonardo Baez, 21-5 (12 KOs), steps into the ring for the first time in three years. Baez, 29, from Mexico, last fought titleholder Rey Vargas, losing by unanimous decision. The bout is scheduled for 10 rounds.

Bantamweight prospect Katsuma Akitsugi, 11-0 (2 KOs), continues his rise at 27 years old. Training out of Wild Card Boxing in Hollywood, California, Akitsugi has defeated four unbeaten fighters in his career. He faces Aston Palicte, 28-6-1 (23 KOs), a former junior bantamweight title challenger from the Philippines. Palicte, 33, has shared the ring with Kazuto Ioka and Donnie Nietes. Their 10-round bout promises fireworks.

In the TV opener, light heavyweight prospect Dante Benjamin, 9-0-1 (7 KOs), of Cleveland, Ohio, takes on Aaron Casper, 7-7-2 (5 KOs), from Augusta, Georgia. Benjamin, 22, is competing for the second time in 2024 after a busy 2023. Casper, 35, looks to play spoiler in this scheduled six-round fight.
