FRIDAY: Padraig McCrory vs Steed Woodall & Derrieck Cuevas vs Alberto Mosquera Headline International Cards LIVE on ESPN+

Two international fight cards will stream live and exclusively in the U.S. this Friday on ESPN+. 

The fistic fireworks begin at Falls Park in Belfast, as undefeated super middleweight Padraig McCrory takes on Steed Woodall in the 10-round main event. 

The action continues later that evening as Puerto Rican welterweight Derrieck Cuevas battles hometown hero Alberto Mosquera in a 10-rounder at Coliseo de Combates in Panama City, Panama.

McCrory-Woodall and undercard contests will stream live beginning at 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT.

Cuevas-Mosquera and undercard bouts will stream live starting at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT. 

McCrory (17-0, 9 KOs) made his pro debut in June 2017 with a decision win over Jacob Lucas. He captured his first regional title four years later with a fifth-round TKO against Sergei Gorokhov. He defended it twice, including a fifth-round TKO victory against former world title challenger Marco Antonio Periban. In October 2022, the 35-year-old stopped then-unbeaten German contender Leon Bunn in six rounds, and he’s coming off a 10-round decision win over Diego Ramirez on the May undercard of the Luis Alberto Lopez-Michael Conlan featherweight title showdown in Belfast. Woodall (18-1-1, 11 KOs) is a nine-year pro who suffered an early-career defeat against Steve Rolls in 2015. He has not lost since. The 29-year-old is coming off an eight-round decision win over Boris Crighton in April.

Cuevas (25-1-1, 17 KOs), an eight-year pro from Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, captured his first regional title in December 2016 with a decision win over Daniel Sostre.

He bounced back with a TKO win against Esneiker Correa two years later and is coming off a second-round knockout victory against Damian Rodriguez in April. Mosquera (28-5-2, 16 KOs) unsuccessfully challenged for an interim title against unbeaten Brunet Zamora in October 2011.
