(December 9th) Matchroom Boxing are delighted to welcome Chicken Ranch Casino as an official partner for the blockbuster night of action on at Adventist Health Arena in Stockton, California on Saturday December 13, topped by the Super-Middleweight showdown between Diego Pacheco and Kevin Lele Sadjo, with Stockton’s own Gabe Flores Jr. taking on Joe Cordina.

Flores and Cordina collide in a co-main event battle that has a massive reward on the line, with the winner putting themselves in pole position for a shot at the WBO World Lightweight title in 2026, a belt picked up by Cleveland starlet Abdullah Mason in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Victory for Cordina on hostile territory will see the ‘Welsh Wizard’ take a huge step on the path to becoming a two-weight World champion, but Stockton’s own Flores is on a six-win streak as he looks to punch his ticket to a first World title bout. The last two of those wins took place at the Chicken Ranch Resort Casino in February and June last year, and the entertainment destination are delighted to be backing Saturday night’s action and will be willing Flores to victory.

“Chicken Ranch Casino Resort is thrilled to partner with Matchroom Boxing in support of Gabe Flores Jr.,” said Joseph Mathiesen-Powell, Chairman of the Chicken Ranch Tribal Council. “Gabe embodies the drive, heart, and resilience that resonate deeply with our community. This partnership is more than sponsorship—it’s a celebration of passion, perseverance, and hometown pride.”

About Matchroom Boxing

After the success of snooker in the 1980s, Matchroom Sport moved into boxing with two small hall shows followed by Frank Bruno v Joe Bugner at Tottenham Hotspur’s ground – the biggest boxing event of 1987. That launched the company into the boxing big-time, a position it has maintained ever since.

Through the 1990s Matchroom Sport’s boxing roster featured many of the biggest names in the sport including Lennox Lewis, Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank, Steve Collins and Naseem Hamed, all in world title fights and it continues to work with some of the biggest names in UK boxing including Audley Harrison, the 2000 Olympic Super-Heavyweight gold medalist.

Over the years, Matchroom Sport has built up long-standing relationships with broadcasters around the world and with the advent of the Prizefighter phenomenon, the company’s boxing division has never been in a stronger position.

From fantastic six round scraps between the sport’s journeymen, up to multi-million-dollar World Championship contests featuring the above fighters, the Pro Box series has it all. Each show is packed with the very best in boxing action in a series that encompasses almost 25 years of Matchroom Sport’s commitment to bringing the highest quality to the global television market.
