Although the fights are intriguing, they lack the star power that would entice people to purchase them.
In the heavyweight main event, unbeaten bomber Moses Itauma faces his biggest name to date in former heavyweight contender Dillian Whyte.
The twenty-year-old Itauma may be that level in the future as his hammering of opponents to date has been spectacular, while Whyte has won three straight since his 2022 KO loss to Tyson Fury.
Whyte appears to be in great shape, but I'm not sure how much he has left.
If Whyte can bring what he once had to the ring Saturday, he'll be a stern test.
In the co-feature, perpetual punching machine Nick Ball defends his WBA featherweight title against Australia's Sam Goodman.
Ball will be making the third defense of the title he won from Raymond Ford last year.
Goodman was once mandatory for the undisputed junior featherweight champion Naoya Inoue, but his challenge was cancelled when Goodman suffered a cut in training..
The key in this one is this- Can Goodman hit hard enough to keep Ball's aggression from dominating?
Another heavyweight encounter sees Filip Hrgovic continue his comeback from his loss to Daniel DuBois against once-beaten David Adeleye.
Adeleye's only loss was by KO to contender Fabio Wardley, so it's certainly not a bad defeat, but Hrgovic is on a higher level, so I'd be surprised to see Hrgovic win this fight.
Former WBA featherweight champion Raymond Ford faces Abraham Nova in a ten-round junior lightweight event.
Ford's only loss came to Nick Ball via split decision, while Nova may be on a downward slide.
I'm a fan of both men, but Ford has the talent edge in this one.
