In the 10-round main event, Puerto Rico’s former two-weight world champion Jose “Sniper” Pedraza (29-4, 14 KOs) will battle former lightweight champion Richard “RC” Commey (30-4, 27 KOs). The heavyweight co-feature — scheduled for eight rounds (or far less) — features the long-awaited return of Toledo native Jared “The Real Big Baby” Anderson (11-0, 11 KOs) against Serbian veteran Miljan Rovcanin (24-2, 16 KOs).
