Rounding out the card, Ali Akhmedov and Gabriel Rosado will fight for the IBF North American Super-Middleweight title while Diego Pacheco fights Enrique Collazo for the WBC USNBC Silver Super-Middleweight title.
Prior to this week’s announcement, Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez announced that he would fight in the co-feature. The rising star out of Texas will defend the WBC Super Flyweight Championship against Israel Gonzalez.
