The Oklahoma-based card will be worth watching with both affairs waged at 135 pounds.
The main event pits former WBA/IBF/WBO champion George Kambosos in his first fight since losing his titles and subsequent rematch to Devin Haney in an IBF eliminator against Britain's Maxi Hughes.
Kambosos, who was so impressive and game in his upset title-winning victory over Teofimo Lopez, lacked the same fire against Haney and it's fair to wonder if his personal desire has perhaps been drained a bit after two huge purses against Haney and becoming a champion.
Hughes appeared to be a standard European title-level boxer for most of his career but has ripped off seven straight wins over the last three years including wins over former IBF featherweight champion Kid Galahad in his most recent win and another win over former title challenger Jono Carroll.
If Kambosos is still motivated to become a contender again, he's a cut above Hughes but that needs to be proven- not discussed.
The co-feature will match top prospect Keyshawn Davis against another European-level opponent in Francisco (No, I'm not Ken) Patera.
Davis has notched victories over two former title challengers in his last two fights with a ninth-round knockout of Anthony Yigit and a decision over Juan Carlos Burgos, while Patera is a veteran, he's never fought outside of Europe or anyone near the talent of Davis,
Patera hasn't been stopped in any of his three losses, so a Davis stoppage win would be an achievement.
