Greg Cohen Promotions Inks Turkish Super Middleweight Cem Kilic to Exclusive Long-Term Promotional Agreement

Greg Cohen Promotions proudly announces the signing of super middleweight prospect CemChampKilic.
22-year-old Kilic (7-0, 4 KOs) was born in Frankfurt, Tyskland, to Turkish parents. Kilic was a decorated amateur boxer on the international level, where he won the European Silver Medal for Turkey in 2012.
Upon meeting his manager Shane Shapiro, he moved to America and turned professional in 2014. He currently lives in Sherman Oaks, California.
Kilic has gained invaluable experience serving as sparring partner for several high-profile fighters including multiple world champions Miguel Cotto and Shane Mosley, as well as well-known names like Montreal’s Jean Pascal, and South Africa’s Chris van Heerden.
I am excited to sign with Greg Cohen Promotions,” said Kilic. “Greg has a strong history of building his fighters correctly and giving them the chance to fight for world titles. I left my family behind to pursue my dream of becoming a world champion and to make the people of America, Turkey and Germany proud. With my manager, Shane Shapiro, in my corner and GCP guiding me, I know there is No Limit to my success!”
I am excited to bring Cem over to GCP,” said Shane Shapiro. “Cem is an extremely talented young fighter. His style is fan-friendly, he is always in a good fight and he is beyond dedicated to his craft. I’m very comfortable knowing that GCP will help move Cem along the right way that will ultimately lead him to a world title shot.
Promoter Greg Cohen says he should have no problem moving Kilic up the ladder quickly.

He’s such a crowd-pleasing fighter, people will want to see him,” sa Cohen. “Cem has a natural ability to generate excitement in his fights, which will put him in a good position with the television networks. I’m excited to be working with him and Shane Shapiro.

FNU Combat Sports Show Featuring Ivan “The Beast” Baranchyk

John “The Beast” Baranchyk (15-0, 10 KOs) joins the broadcast tonight to talk about his recent war on ShoBox with Abel Ramos (17-2-2, 12 KOs). Baranchyk launched an incredible effort in the later rounds to hand Ramos his second professional loss and establish himself as a spirited, tough-as-nails brawler. Some experts claimed the fight was one of the most entertaining bouts in the 17-year history of the ShoBox series. Tom, Tony and Rich discuss the fight, other highlights of Ivan’s career, and get Baranchyk to explain how his early start in Jiu Jitsu eventually led him to the Sweet Science. The 24-year-old is already solidifying his legend, which explains why he points to “Iron” Mike Tyson as one of his role models in the sport of boxing.

 

Tom, Tony and Rich also discuss the latest Mayweather/MacGregor news, an odd suspension of an MMA fighter for going after his opponent’s corner man, the calling off of Chris Brown vs. Soulja Boy, and Roy Jones Jr. re-establishing his goal of fighting Anderson Silva in a boxing match (he now wants it to be on the Mayweather/MacGregor undercard).

 

We also recap last week’s combat sports events and preview Bellator 173 and this week’s upcoming boxing matches.

Avsluttende tanker

Chris Pearson

 

On fighting Justin DeLoach…

“I have had my back against the wall before. I know how it feels. I perform at my best when I have my back against the wall. I know he’s a talented fighter and that he has power in both hands, but I also know that he looks shaky when he gets cracked. He’s an athletic guy, he’s fast and moves well, but I’m the more skillful fighter.

 

“DeLoach makes a lot of mistakes in the ring. I’m going to take advantage of that. He’s never been against a guy like me. He won’t pass through me. I’m simply the better fighter here.

 

“I have the better jab and I have the pedigree. I’m disciplined and patient. You’ll see i morgen natt, DeLoach is in for a surprise. The only way this kid beats me is if I’m going with the wrong strategy, but I know I won’t. As far as skill for skill, I know I’m at a different level.”

 

On training camp…

“I’ve been in camp since April last year—almost a year. I’m not concerned in the very least about making weight. I woke up this morning at 152 pounds. I learned from my mistakes. Every fight that I’ve looked mediocre it’s been because I kill myself making the weight.”

On his loss against Eric Walker…

“I struggled to make weight for my fight against Walker. I had to lose 20 pounds i 10 dager. I waited until the last minute to make weight and I paid the price. Jeg hadde ingen ben. I had him in the position I wanted him, but I had no energy to close the deal. I couldn’t deliver. I lost that fight on the scale. I learned my lesson. It won’t happen again.”

i morgen night’s matchup…

“I don’t think it’s going to be a boxing match for long. Once one of us gets comfortable with the range and believe we have the advantage, we are going to start opening up more. If he comes up a little hotter, I believe my skills are going to dictate the pace and make adjustments as we go. Boxing is the sweet science but is not rocket science. You get in there and you find the advantage. You do what you have to do, adjust and get the win.”

Justin DeLoach

On working with his new trainer, Lucius Robinson…

“I had some differences with my previous trainer [Paul Williams]. I wanted more of the mental side of training, not only the physical. We just had different philosophies so I decided to change trainers.

 

“I’m training with Lucius Robinson now and it’s a big change—psychologically and philosophically. I’m really breaking down what I’m doing in the ring. I’m not just going in there to fight. As a young fighter you get in the ring and you just fight, but you have to do more than that. I’m learning how to use my head in the ring. When I’m hitting you, I know why I’m hitting you, where I’m hitting you. I know what I’m going to do.

 

“Learning the mental side of my sport really took me to another level. Anybody can get in there and get knocked out—that’s why I had my first loss—but who can really go in there and do what Floyd does? Break an opponent down in the later rounds. Master the sweet science. That’s the biggest change I had in my career, to learn the mental side of the sport.”

 

On his last three fights…

“I fought three undefeated prospect last year and I beat them. Jeg kjempet Junior Castillo who has power in both hands. I went in there, I did my thing and I outclassed him. I got the knockout over Dillon Cook og deretter Dominique Dolton, who is a respectable opponent. I had a heck of a year.”

On his fight against Dominique Dolton…

“It was something that came together last minute. I was supposed to fight Chris Pearson but he got injured. I really appreciate the opportunity of fighting Dolton because a lot of up-and-comers don’t have the opportunity to fight a guy like that. Dolton was like a championship fight for me. He taught me a lot and took me to a whole different level. He was a replacement opponent, and my God, he’s a hell of a fighter.”

 

On his KO over Dillon Cook on ShoBox…

“It’s funny. I’m more of a boxer than a puncher. I don’t look for the knockout. I like to box. I think of myself as a boxer-puncher. I feel my opponents don’t usually know how much power I have. They underestimate me and I’m OK with that. My power catches them off balance.”

On fighting a southpaw…

“When you fight a southpaw, there are only two people you can study: Floyd Mayweather og Roy Jones Jr. If you watch tape on them you can learn a lot. It can help you develop your skills. I did my homework. I know exactly what I’m going to do i morgen."

 

On making weight…

“I never had a problem making weight. My body feels good. When I was with Ronnie Shields at the beginning of my career, I learned that if I take care of my weight early on, you can concentrate on training for the fight. Så, that’s what I do. I make weight early and then I train hand to fight my opponent.”

 

Saul Rodriguez

 

morgendagens fight against Oscar Bravo…

“I want to look good. If I focus on dictating the pace for this fight, the knockout will come. My punches will keep on coming and I eventually will get some damage done. I’ll drop him and then, I’ll stop him.

 

“I always look for the knockout. It’s just more satisfying for me. I like KOs, but I’ll be patient. I feel that Bravo is tailor-made for me. Han har aldri blitt stoppet. So I want to stop him. Ikke ta meg feil, I won’t be reckless. But if he’s there for me to punch, I’ll punch him and I’ll go for the knockout.”

 

On changing promoters…

“Top Rank wanted to sign me again, but it was my decision to leave. I felt I was not treated well. I felt that I wasn’t getting the opportunities I deserved. So I decided to sign with Floyd, and here I am, fighting on SHOWTIME. It was a good move.”

 

On sparring with Mikey Garcia…

“I’ve sparred with Mikey Garcia for years. He got me ready for almost every professional fight I’ve had. I would say we’ve sparred over 100 runder. Jeg har lært så mye fra ham. I think that having him as a sparring partner it’s been a difference maker for me. It’s made me a better fighter.”

On what’s next…

“I’m going to get a title at 130 first and then I’ll move up in weight. I’d like to fight Miguel Berchelt—the guy that just beat Vargas. Gervonta Davis is at that weight too. I’ll meet him down the road. I’m more interested in unifying. I want to get the WBC title and then I want to go for the IBF.”

 

Oscar Bravo

On training camp…

“I’ve been training in Floyd’s gym in Vegas. We were in training camp for a while. Jeg tror 135 is my best weight to fight at.”

 

På sin motstander, Saul Rodriguez…

"Han er en god fighter. He’s a young fighter and hasn’t been in the gym with the experienced fighters like I have. He throws wild punches. Hvis han gjør det, I will make him pay.”

 

On what’s next…

“I want to be a world champion someday. I’ve never had this much time to prepare for a fight, so you’re going to see a different fighter this time. I’m confident and feel like this fight is going to change my life.

 

“My dream was to become Chilean champion and I did. I always took last minute fights with two weeks’ notice and went the distance.”

 

Andrew Tabiti

 

On his performance against Keith Tapia…

“I kept my composure. I thought I was sharp. A lot of people didn’t think I was going to beat Tapia, but I did. Styles make fights and we were matched perfectly. Since Tapia, I’m much better. He was high energy and moved a lot. He threw me off of my style at first, but I adjusted.”

 

På sin motstander, Quantis Graves…

“I watched some tape on him. He’s flat-footed and stays stationary. I know what he has to offer. I can adjust well. I got a good jab, a great body punch.”

 

On what’s next…

“I’d love a world title shot, but I’m going to stay patient. I’m still at Floyd’s gym and working hard. I want to be a heavyweight someday. I’d like to stay more active and fight more.

 

“If things go well, I’d like a title shot later this year. There are not a lot of American boxers in my weight class. I’d like to fight Shumenov Beibu. That’s who I want.

 

“I’d like to move to heavyweight later in my career.”

 

Quantis Graves

 

On his matchup i morgen night…

“I plan on beating Andrew Tabiti i morgen natt. I’ve prepared for this. We’ve done everything. I’ve been prepared for this fight mentally. I’ve never been 100 percent for a fight, except for this one.

 

“I’m not worrying about Tabiti. Tabiti is worried about me. He has the title to lose. That’s how I feel about it. I’ve seen his YouTube videos, and I’ve seen the mistakes he’s made. And I’m going to capitalize on those mistakes.

 

“I’m not just fighting Tabiti, I’m fighting TMT. I’m fighting Floyd. I’m taking this fight very seriously.”

 

På sin motstander, Andrew Tabiti…

“Everybody can look good when you fight guys that can’t fight. His last opponent, [Keith] Tapia was good. But who else has he fought?

 

“I have everything to gain, nothing to lose. Jeg er sulten. I’m not a pampered, spoiled guy. I have nobody buying me cars. I have a car note, a house note, two kids and another one on the way. Jeg er sulten. I have everything to lose…I’m going to do what I have to do.”

On his pro career…

“I had a great amateur career. I had some stops and starts. I had issues when I didn’t get signed with a promoter coming out of the Olympic trials and that stalled my pro career a bit. My professional career started off slow. I’m not as active as I would have liked to be but I’m a young 34. I’ve never taken a beating. I fought five times and 2014, and twice in 2015 and last year, no fights. I live a clean life and don’t drink or don’t smoke. I just train. Every day.”

Her er hva jagerfly hadde å si Torsdag:
Deontay Wilder
“Frien min har gitt meg mulighet til å få et bedre forhold til venstre hånd. Det er så mange forskjellige måter å kaste et jab på at jeg ikke trodde jeg kunne gjøre. Å jobbe med en arm tillot meg å bli utsatt for mange nye ting. Det kommer til å bli en annen Deontay Wilder i ringen.
“Det har vært en reise for meg. Jeg vet at det er et formål med det hele, og det er en grunn til at jeg er her og hvorfor jeg er mester. Alt har manifestert meg.
“Dette er et fantastisk kort på lørdag natt, og jeg vet at disse andre gutta ikke kan vente med å komme inn i ringen.
Lørdag natt kommer til å bli en elektrisk kamp. Jeg elsker staten min, og jeg elsker å kunne komme tilbake til Alabama. Hjemmet er der hjertet mitt er. Det føles bra å fortsette å gi tilbake.
“Jeg er overveldet. Jeg er så klar for denne kampen. Alle har en historie å fortelle. Alt som har skjedd med motstanderne mine er i fortiden. Jeg er forelsket i denne sporten. Jeg har et mål å nå i denne sporten, og jeg vil nå det.
“Jeg setter meg alltid i motstandernes stilling og tenker på om det var meg. That’s why I have so much passion for this sport and I give it my all. I don’t want to end up like my opponents. I don’t want to see what those lights looks like from the bottom.
I want people to look back on my legacy and see that it was a long journey. I’ve paved the way for my city and my state. I’ve laid the bread crumbs and now people can follow.
When my first opponent dropped out, the first name that came to my mind was Gerald Washington. I appreciate the way he conducted himself. Every time I saw him, he always shook my hand and told me he was ready.
I know Gerald is excited. I was too. I know what it’s like to be able to fight for one of the most prestigious belts in the world. Men, it’s my belt. Jeg gleder meg fortsatt. Selv om jeg er verdensmester i tungvekt, Jeg er fortsatt ydmyk. Jeg holder beltet i saken, til det er på tide for meg å kjempe igjen. Jeg er ikke fornøyd. Det er fortsatt mer å oppnå.”
GERALD WASHINGTON
“Jeg har hatt et utrolig løp for å få meg til å høre. Jeg er takknemlig til Deontay for at han valgte meg for denne kampen. Han kunne valgt mange motstandere, men han valgte meg, og jeg er takknemlig for det.
“Dette er en drøm som går i oppfyllelse. Jeg begynte å bokse som barn, men jeg visste ikke hva jeg ville gjøre. Jeg har hatt en lang vei, men nå kjemper jeg for verdensmesterskap i tungvekt. Dette betyr bare så mye for meg.
“Treneren min John Pullman og jeg begynte å jobbe sammen, og vi har gått gjennom alle hindringer. Det er hardt arbeid, men vi legger ned arbeidet sammen, og nå er vi her. Det er det livet handler om. Du må ta risiko og når det er på tide, det er på tide å håndtere virksomheten din. Det er min tid, og jeg er klar.
“Jeg er så glad for å kunne gjøre det jeg elsker. Jeg skal opp mot Deontay Wilder, Bronze Bomber, i sin bakgård. Du kan ikke ta bort det han har oppnådd. Men jeg er her for å håndtere virksomheten min.
“Jeg prøver å leve som mester, og nå er det min mulighet til å bli mester. Jeg kommer til å gripe denne muligheten og ta den.”
TONY HARRISON
“Som konkurrent, Jeg var allerede spent på kampen da de ringte meg om å kjempe mot Hurd. Jeg sa ja med en gang. Jarett Hurds navn er nevnt hver gang du nevner divisjonen på 154 pund. Jeg begynte med dette og ønsket å være best og gjøre det, Jeg må slå de beste.
“Det var en kamp for meg som jeg hoppet på med en gang. Da jeg fikk samtalen om at det skulle bli en tittelkamp, Jeg visste at dette kom til å bli en eldre kamp.
“Jeg tror vi har gjensidig respekt på vei inn i denne kampen. Han respekterer meg like mye som jeg respekterer ham. Men Lørdag natt, Jeg ønsker å få min respekt som en fighter. For oss begge, Jeg tror det er reist mange spørsmål om hvem vi har kjempet. Disse spørsmålene blir besvart på lørdag natt.
“Dette er en kamp hvor du må respektere begge krigerne. Byen Detroit kommer for å se meg bringe denne verdens tittelen hjem, og jeg er sikker på at Maryland forventer det samme fra Hurd. Det kommer til å bli en fantastisk atmosfære.
“Fra jeg begynte på seks år gammel, denne dagen har vært potten på slutten av regnbuen. Jeg kjemper en stor fighter for et flott belte i en flott vektklasse.
“Jeg må bare ut og ta den en runde av gangen. Jeg tror at jeg har for mye i arsenalet. Jeg kan ikke bli så spent, selv om jeg ser en åpning for å stoppe kampen, Jeg skal gjøre det på den smarte måten. Jeg er i form å gå 12 runder, men hvis jeg ser muligheten min, Jeg kommer til å ta det.
“Jeg ønsker å fortsette arven. Det kommer til å bli en fantastisk kamp. Jeg elsker Deontay, men jeg ønsker å stjele showet. Dette er den beste divisjonen i boksing. Jeg kommer hardt ut, og jeg vet at motstanderen min også er det. Vi er begge klare til å legge alt på banen for denne verdensmesterskapet.”
JARRETT HURD
“Vi var glade da vi først kjempet med Tony Harrison, og vi var enda mer glade da vi fant ut at det ville være for en verdensmesterskap. Dette er enhver mesters drøm, og jeg får en stor mulighet i et stort nettverk. Alle får se hvem Jarrett Hurd er.
“Dette betyr alt. Å være ubeseiret er noe som åpner mange dører for deg. Jeg er i kvalitetskamper, så jeg gjør noe bra. Jeg har en annen stor motstander foran meg, men Februar 25 Jeg vil være en verdensmester.
“Vi hadde en veldig god lang treningsleir. Jeg trengte ikke gjøre noe for drastisk for å få vekt. Jeg er en stor fighter for denne divisjonen, men jeg har aldri hatt problemer med vekt. Jeg gleder meg til å komme inn i ringen.
“Min far ble født i Birmingham, Alabama, så det å være i stand til å få verdensmesterskapet mitt her er spennende for hele familien min. Dette er en stor kamp for meg. Jeg har trent hardt og er forberedt på det.
“Jeg vil at denne kampen skal svare på mange spørsmål. Noen mennesker sier at jeg ikke er den raskeste eller at jeg ikke har nok forsvar. Jeg vil være en ubeseiret fighter, men jeg vil også bygge en arv. Jeg vil være på plattformen med de beste. Jeg tror denne kampen vil gi meg den troverdigheten.
“Jab kommer til å være veldig viktig. Tony Harrison has a really nice jab and the winner of the jab battle is going to be victorious. My jab and taking away his jab is going to win the fight for me.
My time is here. There will be a new 154-pound champion på lørdag natt. My pants are falling down and I need my belt!”
DOMINIC Breazeale
It’s great to be back on this stage. I’m ready to come back and show my boxing skills. Deontay and Gerald are going to put on a great show and I’m excited to be a part of it.
My opponent is definitely an unknown character. We prepared for everything to get ready for a guy that will move a lot. It’s big for him to be fighting on a big card like this for his first U.S. fight. I’m glad he took the fight.
I just need to be a pressure fighter. Jeg har vært nede og reist meg. Jeg har vært der med de beste. Jeg kan ikke la ham bli komfortabel. Jeg skal gi ham en slags kamp han aldri har sett før.
“Jeg har trent hardt med Manny Robles, og vi har gjort noen fenomenale ting i det siste 10 uker. Jeg har stått på den store scenen og er klar til å gjøre det igjen. Jeg har det bra og er forberedt på å sette opp et show.”
IZUAGBE UGONOH
“Jeg har trent i Las Vegas i tre år, og jeg er veldig spent på å gjøre USA. debut Lørdagnatt. Det er en flott mulighet, og jeg er glad for å få en stor kamp med en gang mot en god tidligere tittelutfordrer som også er en OL. Jeg kunne ikke ønsket meg noe bedre enn dette.
“Jeg har sett på mange Dominic-kamper, even before I knew I was going to fight him. We know what he’s good at and we know where he makes mistakes. All my training partners were taller than me, so I’m comfortable fighting against big guys.
“For meg, this is everything. If you’re a fighter and you train hard to be a champion, then this is the stage you want to reach. When you get here, the question is, are you comfortable with it? I’ve always believed that this is where I belong and now I have the opportunity. Now I just want to have fun and do what I do best.
I think this is going to be a very explosive fight. I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in. I prepared for a better Dominic Breazeale than who fought Joshua. I think it’s going to be a beautiful night.
My road has been very rocky. Jeg har kjempet hele verden, but everything happens for a reason and happens at the right time. The time is now for me.
CALEB ANLEGG
I’ve had a great camp. I know everyone says that, but this really has been my most productive camp. I’ve had great sparring since I moved to Las Vegas. It’s going to be fireworks på lørdag.
I know my opponent has been in there with some tough guys. Han har aldri blitt stoppet. That’s what we want. Soft touches won’t get me to where I’m headed. This is my closest fight to my hometown of Nashville since I turned pro so I’m expecting a lot of support.
I’m not here to take the easy road. Det er min tid nå. This is a great opportunity and I think it’s going to be a great fight. I’m excited to get in the ring.
Coming from where I came from, alt dette er surrealistisk. Mitt harde arbeid fikk meg hit. Jeg er velsignet med å være her, og jeg føler at jeg fortjener det.
“Alt gikk så greit under leiren, og nå er det på tide å sette det sammen i ringen. Jeg har alltid vært i stand til å vise når presset er på.
“Jeg ønsker å vinne og vinne på imponerende måte. Jeg kommer til å ha et sterkt forsvar, men jeg må legge varmen på ham. Dette er den typen press jeg elsker.
“Jeg vil ha store kamper. Jeg er fokusert på å bli bedre hver dag. Jeg har et flott team rundt meg, og jeg føler at jeg kan slå hvem som helst.”

Real life “Rocky” moment at hand for Las VegasPatrick Gutierrez

Make or break fight for underdog vs.
2016 Olympic bronze medalist Nico Hernandez
Mars 25 on CBS Sports Network live from Kansas Star Arena
MULVANE, Kansas (Februar 23, 2017) – Fluevekt Patrick Gutierrez is going into his nationally-televised, main event showdown, Mars 25 in Kansas with high expectations against pro-debuting 2016 Olympic junior flyweight bronze medalist Nico Hernandez. Gutierrez is training hard in Las Vegas for his scheduled six-roundKnockout Night Boxing: History Beginsheadline bout to derail hometown hero Hernandezcoming out party
This fight is make or break for me,” the 22-year-old Gutierrez said about his ‘Rocky’-like moment. The crowd won’t bother me because I enjoy fighting in front of large crowds. I’ve learned the hard way that, fighting my opponent in his backyard, I can’t leave it in the hands of the judges. I watched Nico fight in the Olympics. I have a lot of respect for him and was proud of him for winning the bronze medal for our country. Men, I also saw some flaws from the fight that he lost. He’s in trouble if he hasn’t corrected those flaws.
Knockout Night Boxing: History Beginswill air live on CBS Sports Network. Ved 9:00 pm. OG from Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, Kansas. Knockout Night Boxing LLC is the licensed promoter of the March 25th begivenhet, in association with Kansas Star Casino, and it is sponsored by Miller Lite, Mel Hambelton FORD and TITLE Boxing.
The CBS Sports Network all-star announcing team forHistory Beginswill include Hall-of-Famer JimJ.R.Ross, Sean Wheelock og Joey Varner. Justin Roberts will be the ring announcer.
Hernandez, 21, was a highly-decorated amateur boxer (94-5) who is like a sports franchise in his hometown of Wichita.
A national Taekwondo champion as a youngster, Gutierrez played football in high school, at least until he realized that he had stopped growing, eliminating the possibility that he’d ever play college football. He had always liked combat sports and decided to try boxing.
I fell in love with boxing right away,” Gutierrez admitted. “I live in the fight capital of the world, Las Vegas, og Floyd Mayweather (Jr.) was at his prime there when I first started boxing. I boxed in California (Orange County) and won a three-day tournament there as an amateur. I decided to turn pro but, due to some broken promises, I didn’t make my pro debut for two years. Så, I just focused on training. I broke my wrist in the second round of my first fight but decided to stick with boxing. Six months later, I fought a California kid (Alexander Enriquez) in Los Angeles and felt that I had won all four rounds. I could tell because the large crowd was silent throughout the fight. I’ve learned the hard way, the past four years, but I’m still young and getting better every day. I had an easy fight scheduled for Mars 11 når (promoter) John Andersen called offering me this fight. I wanted to restart my career and jumped at the opportunity to fight Nico. I decided to take the risk to fight an Olympic medalist in his hometown. I just love fighting and I’m not going there to lose.
The eight-round co-feature shapes up as a southpaw battle between a rooster and bull. Rising junior middleweight star NeecoRoosterMacias (14-0, 8 KOs) puts his undefeated record on the line against dangerous Arturo “El Toro” Crespin (13-8-1, 4 KOs). Macias is a showman from Palm Desert, California, whose non-stop style makes him an instant fan favorite wherever he fights. HisRoosterpersona will be perfect for his first pro fight in Kansas.
Kansas cruiserweight Jeff Page, Jr. (17-3, 11 KOs), will open the televised portion of card in a six-round bout against an opponent to be determined.
Scheduled to fight on the non-televised undercard, in separate four-round matches, are four Kansas boxers: Kansas State junior middleweight champion Efrain Morales (4-0, 1 KO), super mellomvekt Marcio Navarro og fjærvekt Eric Vargas (1-0, 1 KO). They will all face opponents to be determined.
