Unbeaten 24-year-old Douglas of Wilmington, DE, is ready to transition from prospect to contender.

An exciting fighter representing Pittsburgh, Meza Clay is looking to get back to the form that saw him reel off eight-straight wins between 2010 thiab 2014. The 34-year-old has picked up victories over Alan Herrera, Eric Aiken and Emmanuel Lucero over a career that spans back to 2002.
