Matchroom Boxing’s calendar for the end of the year is beginning to take shape.

Eddie Hearn told The Ring that the UK-based company will return to the United States on December 13.

“That will be on the West Coast and it will be another big card,” said Hearn. “Diego Pacheco will fight on that card. There will be some world championship fights on there and some of our other top talent. We are ending the year very strong, and I think you will see our best schedule ever starting in 2026.”

A source informed of Matchroom’s plans told The Ring that the event is slated to land in California, with either Los Angeles or Stockton as the location.

Matchroom last held a show in California on August 2024 at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson. Pacheco, who’s born and raised in Los Angeles, headlined the event and scored a sixth-round knockout against Maciej Sulecki.

Pacheco (24-0, 18 KOs) has fought twice since, scoring a unanimous decision against Steven Nelson in January and a unanimous decision against Trevor McCumby in July.

Also set to be featured on the card is Ernesto “Tito” Mercado, a 23-year-old knockout artist from Pomona, California. Mercado (17-0, 16 KOs) told The Ring that he’s preparing to fight on this card against an opponent still to be determined.

Mercado made his Matchroom debut in January by knocking out former titleholder Jose Pedraza in just four rounds. He was supposed to return in June but pulled out of his planned fight after an injury before fight week.
