Russell picked up two more victories in 2016, including a second round knockout of Henry Mercer in his U.S. debut in October.
En opprinnelig fra Kairo, Egypt nå bosatt i Miami, the 26-year-old Elbiali had success in three TOE-TO-TOE Tirsdag appearances over the last two years. Those three contests saw him score a first round knockout of Fabiano Pena and eight-round unanimous decisions over Mariano Hilario and Andrew Hernandez.
An unbeaten prospect fight at home in Cincinnati, den “Stille Assassin” Clark picked up two victories in 2016 over increasingly quality competition as he stopped Elvin Perez in six rounds and earned a unanimous decision over Edgar Ortega. The 22-year-old last fought in his hometown in 2015 when he recorded a second round TKO of Joe Wilson Jr.
