What time is Lamont Roach Jr. vs. William Zepeda tonight? How to watch, date, ringwalks, undercard, prediction, odds

The card features a dynamic main event as two of boxing’s elite lightweight stars are set to collide as Lamont Roach Jr. (25-1-3, 10 KOs) and William Zepeda (33-1, 27 KOs) battle for the vacant WBC lightweight Title. The event will be broadcast on DAZN and TNT co-exclusively in the US and on DAZN worldwide.

Roach has had a string of bad luck in his last two fights. Instead of walking away with victories over Gervonta 'Tank' Davis and Issac Cruz, respectively, Roach was robbed by the judges as those fights were scored majority draws. Because of what people saw in those contests, Roach was awarded a chance at the WBC title that was stripped from Shakur Stevenson and now takes on boxing's biggest volume puncher. 

Zepeda returns from a one-year layoff after losing to Stevenson in an exciting fight back in July 2025. Now, the native gets another crack at capturing WBC gold.

Another championship will be at stake in the co-main event as IBF lightweight titlist Raymond Muratalla (24-0, 17 KOs) looks to defend the belt for the second time against former world champion Robson Conceição (21-3-1, 10 KOs). 

It is expected that the winners of the title fights will square off in their next bouts.

Who will win?

They say when the stakes are high and the chips are down, you see what a man is made of when he steps into the ring.

That is double the case for these two stars in Sin City this weekend. Lamont Roach and William Zepeda have business to attend.

After two draws, the former will be hoping it is third time lucky - and it is him that DAZN News reckons might have the edge too.

But you cannot count out his rival either, a man who will be also hurting from his loss to Shakur Stevenson and keen to make amends.
