Ramon Cardenas-Sam Goodman off, Cardenas moved to ProBox show on August 29
A day after announcing recent title challengers Ramon Cardenas and Sam Goodman were due to face off in Australia to beef up the Errol Spence Jnr-Tim Tszyu card in late July, the bout has been scrapped.
Promoter Sampson Lewkowicz told Boxing Scene Tuesday that Cardenas will instead be assigned to further infuse the late August 29 ProBoxTV card.
Lewkowicz said he is working on retaining a new opponent for Cardenas, 27-2 (15KOs), the San Antonio, Texas, product who knocked down undisputed junior featherweight champion Naoya Inoue in their thrilling 2025 bout.
Australia’s Goodman 22-1 (8KOs), who went the distance last year versus then-featherweight champion Nick Ball, is ranked No. 2 in the WBC 122lbs division with Cardenas No. 4.
Cardenas was originally slotted on the August ProBoxTV card that will be headlined by WBC interim super middleweight beltholder Lester Martinez, and now he returns, with Lewkowicz telling Boxing Scene he is eyeing an undisclosed opponent “I really like.”
