Bruce Carrington has a chance to prove he's more than just a rising name when he takes on Jose Enrique Vivas this Saturday night. The highly touted featherweight prospect headlines the undercard of Mikaela Mayer vs. Sandy Ryan 2 at the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas.

Carrington (14-0, 8 KOs) is on the cusp of breaking into world title contention, but his last few performances have left questions unanswered. While he remains unbeaten, a narrow majority decision over Sulaiman Segawa in 2023 cast doubt on just how ready he is for elite competition.

He'll need to bring his best game against Vivas (23-3, 12 KOs), a proven challenger with a strong boxing foundation. Vivas has only lost to high-level opponents and has never been stopped, making this a real test for 'Shu Shu'.
