Schofield vs Giron and Gabriela Fundora vs Gabriela Celeste Alaniz Set for Nov. 2nd

Excitement is building for November 2nd as two major bouts are set to take place. Rising lightweight prospect Floyd Schofield will headline a DAZN card, facing off against veteran Rene Tellez Giron, while Gabriela Fundora and Gabriela Celeste Alaniz will battle for the undisputed women's flyweight title.

Schofield, 22, holds a perfect record of 17-0 with 12 knockouts. He was originally slated to fight Ashton Sylve, but after Sylve’s upset loss to Lucas Bahdi, Schofield now faces a seasoned opponent in Giron. Giron (20-3, 13 KO) presents a challenging test for Schofield. The veteran fighter, known as “El Bravo,” has experienced tough losses against top fighters Michel Rivera and Giovani Cabrera, along with a close majority decision defeat to Jose Matias Romero in 2022. Despite these setbacks, Giron is riding a three-fight winning streak, including a victory over Karlos Balderas.

Meanwhile, Gabriela Fundora (14-0, 6 KO) will enter the ring with momentum, having gone 2-0 this year. Her January bout ended with an awkward finish against Christina Cruz, followed by a dominant decision win over Daniela Asenjo in July. Fundora had long sought an undisputed matchup with Marlen Esparza, but that plan changed when Alaniz (15-1, 6 KO) outworked Esparza in their rematch to claim the three titles Esparza had lost on the scales.

With these matchups, boxing fans can expect an action-packed night. Although it will compete with the rematch between Robson Conceicao and O’Shaquie Foster, this event could prove to be the more compelling of the two.
