Chief support comes in the form of Gilberto Ramirez, with the WBO and WBA cruiserweight champion putting his titles on the line against Yuniel Dorticos.
Ramirez makes the first defence of the title he won from Brit Chris Billam-Smith.
Dorticos is a former holder of the IBF belt, although he has noy been the most active recently, with just three fights since losing the belt to Mairis Briedis in September 2020.
There will also be huge interest in the all-American bout between Floyd Schofield and Tevin Farmer.

Farmer is a former super-featherweight world champion coming off of two tough losses to William Zepeda for the WBC interim lightweight title.
There will also be big interest as Avious Griffin and Julian Rodriguez meet for the USA welterweight title, while former UFC and boxing world champ Holly Holm meets the unbeaten Yolanda Ochoa.
