Boxing: Leo Santa Cruz-Abner Mares Aug. 29 Undercard Established

Mexican stars Leo Santa Cruz and Abner Mares are set to clash on Aug. 29 in what should be a can’t-miss all-action brawl. Slated to headline Premier Boxing Champions’ next PBC on ESPN card, the battle is expected to be an instant fight of the year candidate. That part has always been known to the boxing world.

What hasn’t been known is how the undercard will stack up to the fiery main event. Until now.

It was revealed this week that the telecast will open with an explosive super bantamweight brawl between Mexican knockout artists Hugo Ruiz (35-2, 30 KOs) and Julio Cesar Ceja (28-1, 26 KOs).
