A tall welterweight at 6’2″, James looks to bounce back after a decision loss to Yordenis Ugas last August in which the 28-year-old accepted the fight on less than a week’s notice. Uitvechten van Minneapolis, Minnesota, James was unbeaten in his first 20 fights as a pro including impressive victories over Javier Molina and Wale Omotoso that began his 2016 campagne.
Geboren in Roemenië, Dan fights out of Quebec, Canada and has picked up victories in two of his three stateside fights. Een pro sinds 2004, Dan was unbeaten in his first 26 professional starts. He owns two impressive victories over Canadian rival Kevin Bizier and challenged Kell Brook for his welterweight title in 2015. Dan fought twice at 154-pounds, including a challenge of now world champion Jarrett Hurd, before moving back down in weight and scoring a fifth-round stoppage of Jesus Gurrola in March.
The 20-year-old Brandon Figueroa turned pro in May of 2015 by defeating Hector Gutierrez and followed that up by stopping Ricardo Mena, Ramiro Ruiz and Francisco Muro to close out the year. The Weslaco-native stayed busy in 2016, picking up six victories, including five by way of stoppage before starting 2017 with a fourth-round stoppage of Raul Chirino in February and an eight-round decision of Luis Saavedra in May. Op Juli 15 he will fight on the undercard of his brother Omar for the third time.
Fighting out of Higuey, Dominicaanse Republiek, Aquino has fought professionally since 2007 and was unbeaten in his first 18 pro aanvallen. The 30-year-old has previously fought twice in the U.S. heading into this showdown on Juli 15. Aquino enters this bout having won his last two bouts by way of stoppage.
