The event is set to take place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas. Here’s a little preview of the main event to let the boxing fans know what’s in store for them:
Jamel Herring vs Jonathan Oquendo
The 34-year-old Jamel Herring (21-2, 10 KOs) will look to make his second title defense after acquiring it from Japanese Masayuki Ito in May 2019. Jamal is also a former Olympian and a United States Marine Corps. He took part in the 2012 London Olympics, becoming the only US Marine to compete in the Olympics.
Herring is on a five-fight win streak with his last loss coming in August 2017 against Ladarius Miller.
