The 112-pound division is preparing for a high-voltage night.

It has been confirmed that the Mexican-American unified champion, Ricardo Sandoval, will defend his World Boxing Council crown against the British Olympic gold medalist, Galal Yafai, who is the interim champion, next June 6 in Sheffield, England.

The bout is presented by Matchroom Boxing and will be broadcast globally by DAZN.

Ricardo Sandoval (27-2, 18 KOs) arrives at this commitment at the pinnacle of his career.

Following a stunning victory in Japan over the legendary Kenshiro Teraji, Sandoval solidified himself as the man to beat in the flyweight category. He is no stranger to success in the United Kingdom, as he already has a resounding knockout over Jay Harris on British soil in his record.

For his part, local idol Galal Yafai (9-0, 7 KOs) faces the greatest challenge of his professional career. After a bitter episode in his last fight (declared a No Contest), Yafai seeks to prove that the talent that led him to gold in Tokyo 2020 remains intact and that he possesses the maturity necessary to dethrone a unified champion.

The purse bid for the fight, won by Matchroom, guarantees a top-tier production for what is anticipated to be one of the best technical fights of the year.
