Lindolfo Delgado vs. Elvis Rodriguez Set for High-Stakes Junior Welterweight Clash

Undefeated Mexican Olympian Lindolfo Delgado and Dominican contender Elvis Rodriguez are set to collide in a pivotal 10-round junior welterweight showdown on Saturday, April 5, at the Pearl Concert Theater at Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.

The highly anticipated bout will serve as the co-feature to the heavyweight main event between rising contenders Richard Torrez Jr. and Guido Vianello. The entire fight card will stream live and exclusively in the U.S. on ESPN+.

Adding to the action, Cleveland-born lightweight sensation Abdullah Mason returns in a 10-round matchup against slick southpaw Giovanni Cabrera.

Promoted by Top Rank, tickets go on sale Friday, February 28, at 12 p.m. PT and will be available on Ticketmaster.com.

“This is a real fight between two top contenders who know a title shot is within reach,” said Top Rank Chairman Bob Arum. “Lindolfo and Elvis are highly ranked and fully aware of the stakes. Abdullah Mason is making a quick turnaround and will be in the lightweight title discussion sooner than people realize.”

Delgado vs. Rodriguez: A Career-Defining Clash

Delgado (22-0, 16 KOs) has steadily climbed the rankings since turning pro in April 2017. After a dominant start to his career, he signed with Top Rank in 2021 and made waves by upsetting then-undefeated Omar Aguilar in 2022. In 2024, he continued his rise with three wins, including stoppages of Carlos Sanchez and Jackson Marinez.

"I've overcome every challenge that’s come my way," Delgado said. "April 5 will be no different. Elvis Rodríguez is tough, but beating him puts me in the world title conversation. I promise to put on a great performance and bring a huge win home for Mexico."

Rodriguez (17-1-1, 13 KOs) gained attention in 2020 with a dominant run in the Top Rank Las Vegas Bubble. Though he suffered a setback against Kenneth Sims Jr. in 2021, he rebounded with a string of victories, including a statement stoppage over former world champion Viktor Postol. Since re-signing with Top Rank in 2024, he has secured two consecutive 10-round decision wins.

“I’m motivated for this fight, which is why I'm working harder than ever," Rodriguez said. "I know this is the kind of fight that can change the course of my career. On April 5, we’ll make the most of this opportunity and walk away with my hand raised.”

Abdullah Mason Eyes Another Statement Win

Mason (17-0, 15 KOs), one of boxing’s most electrifying prospects, comes off a dominant 2024 campaign in which he finished five opponents in four rounds or less. The 20-year-old southpaw kicked off 2025 with a devastating fourth-round TKO over Manuel Jaimes and now faces his toughest test yet in Cabrera (22-2, 7 KOs).

Cabrera, known for his slick movement and defensive skills, owns notable wins over Rene Tellez Giron and Gabriel Flores Jr. but is looking to bounce back from consecutive defeats to Isaac Cruz and William Zepeda.

"In 2025, I want all the smoke," Mason declared. "I respect Giovanni Cabrera for accepting the fight, but he’s the next one on my way to the world championship. I look forward to making a statement on April 5 at The Palms in Las Vegas.”

With high-stakes matchups and future title implications on the line, April 5 promises an action-packed night of boxing in Las Vegas.
