“I took this fight just like I’ve taken every tough fight over the years,” Саид Smith. “I constantly challenge myself to the best and I believe Julian Williams is one of the best in the division. If you look at my resume, all I’ve done is fight the best guys, in their prime, so this is nothing new to me. I’ve reached the point where I’ve seen it all. This fight will get me exactly where I need to be, closer to a world title shot.”
Williams (23-1-1, 15 Нокаута), one of the top young contenders in the 154-pound division, is working his way back into title contention by taking on a tough former world champion in Smith.

“We’ve been working hard for months and I’m ready to get back in the ring,” Саид Williams. “I could fight утре. I know this is an important fight for my career. Ishe is a veteran and he is going to bring his ‘A’ game to try to prove he’s still got it. I’m not going to give him that opportunity. I will be victorious and show that I’m ready to fight the best in the world.”
Lionell Thompson (18-4, 11 Нокаута) is on the trail of a 175-pound world championship and he hasn’t taken the easy road, having challenge the likes of Sergey Kovalev and Radivoje Kalajdzic in his pro career.

Unbeaten prospect Earl Newman (10-0-1, 7 Нокаута) will be taking a big step forward in taking on his toughest competition to date in Thompson. The 26-year-old Brooklyn-native is coming off a split draw against Paul Parker on Седем. 19 after winning his first 10 про битки.
A 2012 Olympic Silver medalist from Mongoloa, Tugstsogt Nyambayar (8-0, 8 Нокаута) now fights out of Carson, Калифорния. The 25-year-old turned pro in March of 2015 with a first round knockout of Gabriel Braxton. Оттогава, Nyambayar has stopped every opponent in his path, including most recently scoring a 10татаround TKO over Jhon Gemino in February.
