A high-stakes Northern California rivalry will take center stage on May 15th as undefeated Oakland bantamweight Anthony Garnica faces San Jose’s Eros Correa on a show presented by Showtime Boxing Promotions. Taking place at Thunder Studios in Long Beach, California, the event will be televised live on Fox Deportes, bringing the action to a national audience. Garnica (13-0, 8 KOs), age 25, has an aggressive yet composed style. He'll face the toughest test of his career against Correa. “Fans can expect an action-packed fight,” said Garnica. “Eros is coming in hungry to revamp his career, and I respect the tough opponents he’s faced. I’ve followed his journey closely, and I’m excited to step in the ring with someone of his caliber. At the end of the day, it’s going to come down to styles—and mine will prevail.”

 

Correa (15-2, 9 KOs), a 33 year-old veteran now fighting out of Las Vegas, brings experience, grit, and a renewed sense of purpose as he looks to defend NorCal pride while reestablishing himself after a closely contested decision loss to Michael Angeletti in June 2025 and a brief injury earlier that year. Now fully healthy, he has revamped his training camp under renowned coach Richard Barrientes, sharpening his tools for what he views as a career-defining opportunity. “I’m excited to get back into the ring, and I know this title will get me back in the rankings where I belong,” said Correa. “I’ve been working with my new trainer and I’ve elevated my skillset. I’m ready to show that on May 15th.”

 

The undercard will feature Andy Dominguez Velasquez and Criztec Bazaldua in separate bouts, both of whom continue to build momentum early in their professional careers. Known for their aggressive styles and fan-friendly performances, both fighters are expected to add excitement to an already stacked card, with opponents to be announced in the coming weeks.
