Diego Pacheco defends his WBO International and WBC Silver super middleweight titles against Darius Fulghum on Saturday, November 14, 2026, at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California.
The event is expected to start at 8pm ET / 5pm PT / 1am GMT.
How to Watch Pacheco vs Fulghum
TNT, truTV and DAZN broadcast the card in the United States. UK viewers can watch on DAZN, which also carries the event internationally.
The bout headlines “The Fight,” the monthly boxing series from TNT Sports and DAZN. Tickets are available through AXS and Events365.
Records and Titles at Stake
Pacheco (26-0, 19 KOs) meets Fulghum (15-1-1, 13 KOs) in the 168-pound division, equivalent to 76.2 kg.
The defending champion stopped Immanuwel Aleem in the 11th round on his previous appearance at the venue, winning his first fight under trainer Buddy McGirt. He also finished Maciej Sulecki there in August 2024.
“Every time I’ve fought in Los Angeles, I’ve knocked out my opponent, so I’m looking forward to continuing that streak and putting on another great performance for my hometown fans,” Pacheco said.
Fulghum arrives after a third-round stoppage of Yoanki Urrutia in San Jose. The Houston fighter now challenges for two regional belts against an opponent closing on a championship opportunity.
Pacheco and Fulghum Set Out Their Intentions
Pacheco expects a hard challenge.
“Darius Fulghum is a talented and hungry fighter, and I respect what he brings to the ring,” he said.
“I’m preparing for the best version of him, and on fight night, I’m going to remind everyone why I’m one of the top fighters in the division.”
Fulghum intends to bring his own support to California.
“There is no better opportunity to showcase myself than in his backyard of Los Angeles and live on TNT and DAZN. I’m bringing the DFG army with me and we’re going to show out for this one,” he said.
“The stakes are high and November 14, I’m leaving no doubt. I’m putting everything on the line and the fans will see the best version of DFG.”
Venue history and local support could influence momentum: Pacheco has finished opponents at Dignity Health Sports Park before, and Fulghum’s DFG contingent could mitigate the hometown advantage. At super middleweight both fighters carry legitimate stopping power, so tactical pacing, defensive adjustments, and conditioning will be decisive. Observers should watch corner strategies and whether either competitor tries to force an early result versus executing a measured game plan for later rounds.
For fans planning to watch or attend, note the start times: 8pm ET, 5pm PT, and 1am GMT, with US coverage on TNT, truTV and DAZN and UK/international access via DAZN. Tickets are available through AXS and Events365. From a competitive standpoint, both fighters have high KO percentages at 168 pounds, so scouts and bettors should consider power metrics, recent activity, and each fighter’s performance under pressure when evaluating likely outcomes.
This matchup presents a clear contrast in experience and finishing ability: Pacheco is 26-0 with 19 KOs and holds WBO International and WBC Silver belts, while Fulghum is 15-1-1 with 13 KOs. The November 14 date at Dignity Health Sports Park and the TNT/truTV/DAZN broadcasts make it accessible for both US and international viewers, and the outcome could significantly affect world ranking trajectories given the regional titles on the line.
I agree that the rankings impact is important. Under Buddy McGirt Pacheco has shown improved conditioning and late-round finishing, as seen against Aleem in the 11th. Fulghum’s third-round stoppage of Urrutia indicates early power and aggression. Key factors will be ring IQ, punch resistance, and corner adjustments; those elements will likely determine whether the bout ends early or becomes a tactical, championship-level contest.
