Hard-hitting 115-pound prospect Ricardo "El Niño" Sandoval (17-1, 12 KOs) of Riverside, Calif. will take on Filipino contender Raymond "Tornado" Tabugon (22-11-1, 11 KOs) in a 10-round main event of Thursday Night Fights on Feb. 6 at Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, Calif. . The event will be streamed live on DAZN and on Facebook Watch via the Golden Boy Fight Night Page beginning at 10:00 p.m. ET/7:00 p.m. PT.

Sandoval is a 20-year-old prospect who possess a very exciting style. In July 2019, Sandoval fought on a Golden Boy card for the first time by scoring a dominant stoppage win against Marco Sustaita to defend his WBC Youth Intercontinental Flyweight Title. Then, he returned in October to stop Gilberto Gonzalez in the fifth round. Now, Sandoval will look develop into a full-fledge contender against his toughest opponent to date.

"2020 will be my year, and I will demonstrate why on February 6," said Ricardo Sandoval. "I know that Raymond Tabugon is very strong, but I'm coming with a strong desire to win and get closer to a world title opportunity. I'm going to deliver a great show for all the fans, and I'll work very hard to walk away with my hand in victory."

Tabugon is a 28-year-old veteran who has faced former world champions Juan Francisco "El Gallo" Estrada, Luis "Pantera" Nery and Angel "Tito" Acosta. Now, he'll look to use his experience to hand Sandoval the second loss of his career and position himself for more opportunities.

"I can't wait to get back in the ring on February 6," said Raymond Tabugon. "I had a small setback in my last fight, but I'm working hard to return better than ever. I want to thank Golden Boy and Sanman Promotions for the opportunity, and I promise to bring lots of action!"
