Jaron "Boots" Ennis vacated his WBA and IBF welterweight titles to move to the junior middleweight division and immediately will fight for a minor title in his hometown of Philadelphia.
The problem is that the fight is a squash match, and anything short of a spectacular outing will be a disappointment against Uisma Lima.
Ennis is coming off the biggest win of his career after his knockout win of Eimantas Stanonis, while Lima has fought one opponent, Aaron McKenna, of note, and McKenna handed Lima his only loss.
Ennis requires an explosive win, so anything short of one will be a disappointment.
The co-feature pits heavyweight Guido Vianello against unbeaten Canadian Alexis Barriere.
Vianello lost his last fight in a close battle to prospect Richard Torrez, while Barriere will be taking his first step forward against tougher competition.
What might be the best fight of the weekend is in Sheffield, England, as a scheduled twelve-round heavyweight bout is unlikely to see close to the distance.
Two fighters with big punches and questionable chins, David "White Rhino" Allen and Arslanbek Makhmudov, should produce an explosive and likely short match.
Allen knocked out Johnny Fisher in the fifth round of their rematch (Allen lost a split decision in their first bout, which he deserved), and will be the crowd favorite.
Makhmudov was once a top ten contender before knockout losses to Agit Kabayel and Guido Vianello showed his vulnerability in taking punches.
