Top Rank Boxing on ESPN presented by AutoZone: Anderson vs. Merhy and Ajagba vs. Vianello will be presented live Saturday, April 13th, at 10 p.m. ET/ 7 p.m. PT on ESPN, ESPN Deportes and ESPN+. The event takes place at American Bank Center, Corpus Christi, Texas. In the ten-round main event, unbeaten heavyweight Jared “The Real Big Baby” Anderson takes on Belgium's Ryad Merhy. Anderson (16-0, 15 KOs) is coming off a successful 2023, where he notched three victories with two knockouts. In April, he brought George Arias' undefeated run to an end. Less than three months later, he celebrated his return to Toledo, squaring off against former IBF titleholder Charles Martin and earning a ten-round unanimous decision. Anderson then dispatched Andriy Rudenko in five rounds in August.

Merhy (32-2, 26 KOs) makes his U.S. debut following his best win yet, a December victory over hometown hero and Olympic gold medalist, Tony Yoka in Paris.
 
In the ten-round heavyweight co-feature, Nigerian puncher Efe Ajagba (19-1, 14 KOs) and Italian standout Guido “The Gladiator” Vianello (12-1-1, 10 KOs) will collide in a duel of 2016 Olympians. The eight-round televised opener features Brazil's Robson Conceicao (17-2-1, 8 KOs), as he looks to keep his junior lightweight title hopes alive against the upset-minded Jose Guardado (15-1-1, 5 KOs).
