Another first will be Fox’s first fight since signing a promotional contract with King’s Promotions.
“It truly is a blessing being with King’s Promotions.  With being the main event and my first with my promoter, it brings an excitement for me to perform and look like a main event fighter.  Being that King’s puts on a lot of shows and they promote in my home area where I have had my fights, It is a great opportunity to grow with them.  This fight I am doing it at home, but I want to take my show on the road and not only become a bigger name locally but nationally and internationally.”
