• Nine marquee events across five months featuring 21 undefeated fighters;

• Two world championship unifications bouts, one for all four world title belts and the coveted title of Undisputed Champion, and one for three world title belts;

• Seven world championship matches with at least 13 world title belts at stake and three world title eliminators;

• All of the top-six ranked super welterweights fighting in a seven-week span;

• Several pivotal crossroads fights from super bantamweight to super middleweight with an average of two events per month through July.

The massive schedule features the sport’s biggest stars: 埃羅爾·斯彭斯, 小, Gervonta“坦克”戴維斯, Jermell夏洛茨維爾, 大衛Benavidez和 Jermall夏洛茨維爾.  There are also 18 fighters aged 27 years and younger including unified world champion斯蒂芬·富爾頓, JR., and highly regarded, 不敗的中量級的競爭者杰倫“靴子”恩尼斯.
