Gervonta Davis (18-0, 17 KO) — the team’s 22-year-old burgeoning superstar -- stars in the co-feature against unbeaten Francisco Fonseca (19-0-1, 13 KO); however, because he failed to make weight he was stripped of his IBF Super Featherweight title and only Fonseca will be able to win it. Meanwhile, former Super Middleweight Champion Badou Jack (21-1-2, 12 KO) looks for his second world title against WBA Light Heavyweight Champion Nathan Cleverly (30-3, 16 KO). In the opening bout, Cruiserweight prospect Andrew “The Beast” Tabiti (14-0, 12 KO) faces stalwart veteran Steve “U.S.S.” Cunningham (29-8-1, 13 KO).
