Bellator Boxing on Disney+ — First Wednesday Night Event
January 28, 2028 — Cox Pavilion, Las Vegas, Nevada


Bellator Boxing made history with its first-ever Wednesday night event on Disney+, delivering an action-packed midweek card from the Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas. The new Wednesday night event spotlight paid off, with an exciting mix of high-level boxing, decisive finishes, and title implications across multiple divisions.

Main Event

Kevin Walsh def. Michael Conlan (Split Decision, 10 Rounds)

WBC International Featherweight Title

In a razor-close main event, Kevin Walsh edged out Michael Conlan via split decision to capture the WBC International Featherweight title.
Walsh’s forward pressure and work rate proved crucial in a highly technical contest. Conlan found success with sharp counters, but Walsh’s consistency over 10 rounds ultimately made the difference on the judges’ scorecards.

ESPN Take:
A defining win for Walsh that elevates him into serious contention at featherweight.

Co-Main Event

Ruben Eduardo “El Pollito” Aguilar def. Luis Lopez (Retirement, Round 8)

Aguilar broke down Luis Lopez in a physically demanding fight, forcing a retirement after Round 8.

Sustained body work and relentless pressure wore Lopez down, leaving him unable to continue.

ESPN Take:
Aguilar is emerging as a dangerous, pressure-heavy contender at welterweight.

Undercard Highlights

Edward Vazquez def. Grimardi Machuca (Retirement, Round 5)

Vazquez delivered a controlled and dominant performance, leading to Machuca retiring after five rounds.

Jocelyn Camarillo def. Isis Sio (TKO, Round 1 – 1:18)

Women’s Jr Flyweight

Camarillo produced the fastest finish of the night, overwhelming Sio early with an explosive opening attack.

ESPN Take:
A statement performance that instantly raises Camarillo’s profile.

Joshua Anton def. Kudratillo Abdukakhorov (Retirement, Round 1)

WBC Continental Americas Super Welterweight Title

Anton captured the WBC Continental Americas title in emphatic fashion, forcing a first-round retirement after a dominant opening.

ESPN Take:
Anton continues his rapid rise with a performance that suggests he’s ready for elite competition.

Event Summary

  • Location: Cox Pavilion, Las Vegas
  • Platform: Disney+
  • Special Note: First-ever Wednesday Night Bellator Boxing event
  • Fight of the Night: Walsh vs. Conlan
  • Performance of the Night: Jocelyn Camarillo (TKO Round 1)

Under the agreement, Lomachenko will headline multiple Bellator Boxing events airing live globally on Disney+, with his promotional debut expected later in 2026.

The signing continues Bellator Boxing’s aggressive roster expansion strategy following several major events in Las Vegas and the promotion’s successful debut on Disney+ in January.
