Those who will have the privilege of being there will attend a colorful show in an exceptional environment that they will not soon forget.
For the first time in history, the WBC Bridgerweight title, under 224 pounds, will be on the line. Adopted Quebecer and WBC No. 1 contender for the vacant WBC title, Oscar "Kaboom" Rivas (27-1, 19KO) will face American and No. 3 rated Bryant Jennings (24-4, 14KO), af Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
This is a major clash for the two fighters and their careers, which promises to be a risky, hotly contested contest. Trods alt, the winner will become the monarch of this new division.

I alt, this prestigious gala will also be broadcast live in nearly 50 lande.
Rivas was ranked among the world’s top 5 heavyweights when he was selected as the No. 1 contender in the WBC’s newly created division. In his last fight this past March, he easily disposed of Sylvera Louis by retirement in the 3rd round. Desuden, boxing fans remember the fight delivered by “Kaboom” in England on July 20, 2019, against Britain’s Dillian Whyte (25-1, 18KO), in his previous outing. Rivas lost by close decision, even though he knocked his opponent down in the 9th round. The loss was very bitter, especially when it became known that Whyte had allegedly tested positive for illegal substances before the fight without BBBofC intervention.
This will be the second clash between Jennings and Rivas, who fought an extremely contested duel in January 2019, i Verona, New York. Also broadcast by ESPN +, Rivas-Jennings I was virtually even after 11 runder.

Jennings has fought one fight since his first fight with Rivas, a decision loss to Rio Olympics silver medalist and mandatory world contender to champion Anthony Joshua, Joe Joyce (13-0, 12KO). Jennings is the only one to have crossed the line against the British giant. The scores of 115-112, 118-119 og 117-110 indicate that Jennings managed to win several rounds in this match, despite it being held in Joyce’s backyard in London.
