Bekæmpelse under Mastermind Boxing banner, McRae er ubesejret i hans sidste seks og har mistet én gang i de seneste fem år. Selv om de fleste af hans kampe har fundet sted i Maryland, Washington, DC og Virginia, det 34-årige havde været lobbyarbejde for en kamp mod en top notch fjende.
Betragtes som en af Amerikas klogeste og hurtigste stigende sværvægtere, Martin er en fremragende 20-0-1 med 18 knockouts. Født i St. Louis, MO og baseret ud af Los Angeles, F.EKS, Martins afsporet tre tidligere ubesejrede fjender i Vincent Thompson (13-0), Glendy Hernandez (10-0) og Alexander Flores (14-0), standse senere at blive Nabo mester.

"Dette er en fantastisk mulighed for min karriere,"Sagde McRae. "I mine øjne, Jeg er også ubesejret da begge min beslutning tab var kontroversiel, og den anden kamp blev stoppet uretfærdigt, så min holdning egentlig bør svare til hans. "
McRae er også overbevist om, at denne kamp kommer til at bringe ham til det næste niveau baseret på, hvad han har set i Martin, WBO s #4 og IBF s #6 rangeret contender.
"Han er en anstændig fighter, men jeg kunne ikke se noget spektakulært. Jeg ved, hvad jeg kan gøre derinde, og det er langt vigtigere end officielt at have en 0 i slutningen af min rekord. Når to kæmpere kommer i ringen, uanset hvem der formodes at være den næste store fighter eller ej, alt kan ske, og dette er min tid til at vise alle, hvad jeg virkelig lavet af!"
Den McRae-Martin anfald kan vises som en del af det internationale telecast. Mere information følger.
