Floyd Mayweather Adds Promising Prospect Curmel Moton to Nate Diaz vs. Jorge Masvidal Undercard
Floyd Mayweather continues to shape the future of boxing with the addition of 18-year-old prospect Curmel Moton to the undercard of this weekend’s Nate Diaz vs. Jorge Masvidal rematch. Fighting under Mayweather’s promotional banner, Moton’s inclusion marks a strategic move by Mayweather to showcase his young talent on a high-profile stage.
Moton, boasting a perfect professional record of 3-0, will face off against Russian journeyman Nikolai Buzolin (9-8-1) in what promises to be a pivotal moment in his burgeoning career. Despite his early stage in the sport, Moton has already garnered significant attention, earning comparisons to Mayweather himself and receiving high praise from his mentor.
Having debuted with a spectacular first-round victory over Ezequiel Flores last September on the Canelo Alvarez vs. Jermell Charlo card, Moton’s rise has been carefully curated with strategic placements on major undercards. His most recent outing, a decision win against Anthony Cuba, took place during the Tim Tszyu vs. Sebastian Fundora event in March, further cementing his status as a prospect to watch.
The decision to feature Moton on the Diaz vs. Masvidal undercard underscores Mayweather’s commitment to developing Moton into a future star. With the event drawing attention from both boxing and MMA enthusiasts alike, Moton’s fight against Buzolin is poised to capture the imagination of fight fans worldwide.
The Diaz vs. Masvidal rematch headlines an eleven-fight card at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, with Moton’s bout adding an extra layer of intrigue to an already stacked lineup. As Mayweather continues to guide Moton’s career path, Saturday night’s event promises to be a pivotal moment in the young boxer’s journey toward greatness.
