It will be the end of an era when Showtime Boxing produces its final fight night on December 16. In The Armory in Minneapolis, David Morrell defends the WBA (Regular) super middleweight title against Sena Agbeko.
A 2016 Youth World Championships gold medalist, Morrell turned pro in 2019. The Cuban beat Lennox Allen in 2020 for the interim WBA (Regular) super middleweight title and was later elevated to full-time champion in 2021. He has defended the belt five times, his last contest a knockout win in April against Yamaguchi Falcao. Morrell has won six fights in a row via knockout and has competed in The Armory five times.
“It’s a great honor to be fighting in the main event on SHOWTIME’s final show, especially in Minneapolis at The Armory, where I call home,” said Morrell. “I’m going to bring my best effort forward and give the fans a spectacular performance worthy of this occasion. I specifically asked for the Sena Agbeko fight because he was saying I was avoiding him. Now that the fight is on, I’m going to punish him. I’m dedicating this fight to my family and all the fans that will be watching this event.”
Agbeko turned pro in 2011. The fighter from Ghana lost against Daniel Mendez in 2021 and has since won five in a row. The 31-year-old last fought in October, beating Bruno Romay via TKO.

"This fight against Morrell is career-defining for me as it will determine where I stand in the super middleweight hierarchy of boxing," said Agbeko. "With 30 fights under my belt, it’s now or never, and more than anything, it’s an opportunity to be etched in the history books, so it is absolutely important to me that I win. I'm very happy to have this opportunity to fight for the WBA belt on SHOWTIME, where I've fought throughout my career. My objective is to win and end the year on a very high note and also use it as a catalyst to even greater fights next year against the very best in the division. Fight fans should definitely expect a thriller to end the year.”
Showtime Sports aired its first boxing fight in 1986. Fighters featured through the years include "Marvelous" Marvin Hagler, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, and Floyd Mayweather. Boxing’s past, present, and future will compete at The Armory this weekend, from Morrell, Chris Colbert, and Andre Berto.
