In the main event, exciting super middleweight bomber, Christian Mbilli, faces his sternest test to date against rugged warhorse Sergey Dereyvanchenko.
Mbilli has been devastating in his climb to the top of the super middleweight ratings and while Dereyvanchenko has lost five times (All to world champions), an argument can be made that four of his losses (Gennady Golovkin, Daniel Jacobs, Carlos Adames, and most recently Jaime Munguia) could have been scored for Dereyvanchenko.
Mbilli has shown devastating power and plenty of aggressiveness but looks to be vulnerable to a counterpunch as he attacks.
The question is this- Is a thirty-five-year-old Dereyvanchenko still capable of landing such a punch after so many grueling wars?
On the surface, this looks to be the perfect time for Mbilli to step on the world stage but Dereyvanchenko has been counted out before only to roar back with a strong performance.
The co-feature will pit two heavyweights in a crossroads matchup with both in desperate need of a victory.
Arslanbek Mahkhmudov was unbeaten in eighteen fights before being battered by Agit Kabayel in Riyadh last December, losing via fourth-round knockout.
Guido Vianello lost a close split decision to Efe Ajagba in his last bout and his only other defeat was due to an awful cut, so he could easily be unbeaten with luck.
Vianelo showed lots of heart in his losses, Mahkmudov wilted against Kabayel but Mahkmudov is the much bigger puncher, so this is a close fight to choose a winner.
Unbeaten Cuban super middleweight Osleys Iglesias returns against Sena Agbeko in a ten-rounder.
Iglesias has stopped ten of his eleven opponents, his last two both fell in the first round.
Agbekol has lost in his two tests against good opponents and was last seen being blown out by David Morrell in two rounds.
