In dual co-features, two undefeated boxers from the Murphys Boxing stable will see action on the card that will stream live exclusively on UFC Fight Pass, the world’s largest subscription service for combat sports.
NABF Jr. Featherweight Champion, William Foster III (9-0, 6 KOs), who fought 5 em tempos 2018, will enter the ring for the second time this year against an opponent to be named in a 6 round junior featherweight bout.

Representing the Boston area, James Perella (2-0, 2 KOs), who turned professional last month on Murphys Boxing’s St. Clash Dia de Patrick and followed up his knockout debut just two weeks later on Murphy’s Mayhem at Melrose cartão, will look to make it 3 straight KOs when he takes on an opponent to be named in a 4 ataque welterweight rodada.
