Diego Pacheco vs. Maciej Sulecki

Super-Middleweight sensation Pacheco is headlining for the second time in Los Angeles and taking on Poland’s former World title challenger Sulecki in Matchroom’s first ever show at the vaunted ‘War Grounds’ venue in Carson.

Pacheco (21-0 17 KOs) returns to his hometown after a ten-round points win over Shawn McCalman in Las Vegas in April, where he successfully defended the USWBC and WBO International titles he puts on the line against Sulecki. The 23 year old headlined for the first time in his hometown against Marcelo Coceres in November at the YouTube Theater in Inglewood, with his trademark power shining through to record a ninth-round stoppage.

Sulecki (32-2 12 KOs) has been unbeaten in four fights since challenging Demetrius Andrade for the WBO World Middleweight crown and will be looking to crash Pacheco’s party and put himself in line for the big fights at 168lbs. The entertaining Pole fights on his fourth Matchroom card having taken on Daniel Jacobs, Gabriel Rosado and Andrade in previous outings, and enters the bout on the back of a ten-round points win in Queens, New York in May.

“I’m excited to be headlining at home again,” said Pacheco. “I’m looking forward to an amazing night. Sulecki is always in good fights, and he’s shared the ring with some great fighters and caused them problems, but I feel great about the way my career is heading and I’m looking forward to taking another big step towards a World title shot.”

“After a few surgeries, I’m back at where I should be,” said Sulecki. “On August 31, I will take young Pacheco into deep waters. This is a fight we had looked at for a while now and with my new trainers, Sosa Crew, we are going to leave Los Angeles victorious. I am looking forward to headlining on DAZN again in a Polish vs. Mexican brawl!”
