New opponent for Pitufo Diaz this weekend

Puerto Rican junior lightweight Christopher “Pitufo” Diaz (28-4,18 KOs) was scheduled to face Henry Lebron (19-0, 10 KOs) in a ten-round bout this weekend on the Jaron "Boots" Ennis undercard in Philadelphia. However, the fight was called off due to Lebron getting injured. Diaz will now face Derlyn Hernandez-Gerarldo (12-1-1, 10 KOs), from the Dominican Republic in a scheduled eight-round bout televised live on DAZN. The main event that night sees Ennis defend his IBF welterweight championship against David Avanesyan.
