One of the co-featured exhibitions will witness film and fighting star Ulysess “The Monster“ Diaz step back into the ring to rematch popular UK-based fighter Khalas “BabaYaga” Karim. Their previous clash in February left audiences captivated and stole the show on another Zeus Pay-Per-View undercard. Diaz, a Miami-based cruiserweight, began his professional boxing journey at the age of 35. The subject of a 2022 Urban Film Festival-winning documentary, Diaz’s inspiring story is complemented by his impressive boxing record of 14-1, with 13 knockouts. He has also made waves in bare-knuckle boxing, by breaking the Guinness World Records, for the World’s Fastest Combat Sports KO. Diaz’s engagement to WWE Diva Dana Brooke adds another layer of intrigue to his journey.
Khalas Karim, the acclaimed “Wicked n‘ Bad” light heavyweight champion and boxing prodigy, has gained popularity in the UK and is originally Morocco via Denmark. Karim demonstrated his prowess by fearlessly engaging in a thrilling exhibition bout against the formidable Diaz, resulting in an unforgettable slugfest. Despite facing challenges in size and experience, Karim displayed exceptional technique against Diaz and showed remarkable momentum as the fight unfolded.
Jarrell Miller, from Brooklyn, New York, shares the same hometown as his idols Mike Tyson and Riddick Bowe. With a flamboyant and entertaining style, Miller began his boxing journey at 16 and achieved an impressive amateur record of 10-1. Now 34 years old and standing tall at 6’4″, he remains undefeated with a professional record of 26-0-1, boasting 22 knockouts. In his most recent bout in March, Miller delivered a decisive knockout victory against former champion Lucas Browne in just six rounds. Renowned as a dangerous heavyweight, Miller is now on the brink of a career-defining fight against one of the division’s current stars.
In the heavyweight division, world-class boxer Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller will face off against the popular Vegas-based undefeated heavyweight Antonio Zepeda in a high-profile four-round exhibition. Miller, a Brooklyn native, holds an exceptional record of 26-0-1, with 22 knockouts. Known for his charismatic personality and powerful punches, Miller has been making waves since his amateur days and is inching closer to a career-defining fight against one of the current stars of the heavyweight division. Zepeda’s story of resilience is equally remarkable, having overcome tremendous odds in his life. With an undefeated record of 6-0 in boxing and 2-0 in MMA, Zepeda’s fighting style has drawn comparisons to former Polish heavyweight Andrew Golota.
Adding to the excitement, the undercard will feature a four-round bareknuckle boxing match between MMA star Hector Lombard and Eric Turner.

Another four-round exhibition bout will see J’Hon Ingram take on Ryan “Stone” Allen. Ingram, hailed as “The Next Floyd Mayweather” by Mayweather himself, is an undefeated prospect from Las Vegas.

Having experienced the life-changing opportunity of sparring with Mayweather, Ingram’s potential is undeniable. Allen, a resilient fighter with a record of 10-6-1, has faced top contenders and has never been stopped.
Kamari “KB3” Burnside will open the action with three exhibition rounds against Brendan Jackson. Burnside, a Las Vegas resident, and promising amateur boxer, has been a sparring partner for fellow prospect Nico Ali Walsh. His remarkable defensive skills and basketball background have set the stage for an engaging exhibition.
As a testament to the event’s grandeur, superstar recording artist Ozuna and other captivating performers will grace the stage, elevating the entertainment quotient. With multiple Latin Grammy Awards and Billboard Music Awards under his belt, Ozuna’s quadruple platinum collaboration on “Taki Taki” with DJ Snake, Cardi B, and Selena Gomez has solidified his status as a global sensation.
This extraordinary event is dedicated to honoring the loving memory of Marikit “Kitchie” Laurico, Mayweather’s longtime assistant who tragically passed away in April. Her unwavering support and contributions to Mayweather’s career will forever be cherished.
