In a bout that hopefully makes the TV telecast, former IBF heavyweight world champion “Prince” Charles Martin (24-1-1, 22 KOs) takes on Mike Marrone (21-7, 15 KOs) in a scheduled ten rounder. This is Martin’s second appearance since losing the world title to Anthony Joshua.

Also buried deep on the undercard is former world title challenger Edwin “La Bomba” Rodriguez (28-2, 19 KOs) against Melvin Russell (10-1-2, 6 KOs) in a scheduled eight-rounder. It’s Rodriguez’ first fight since a KO loss to Thomas Williams Jr 15 months ago.
