Also this evening there will be a fight for the vacant IBF lightweight title, in which Richard Commey will meet Isa Chaniev. Both fighters signed a contract that the winner on April 13 will face the WBA champion Vasyl Lomachenko. The winner was considered the main contender for the next fight with the Ukrainian, while the WBA obliged Lomachenko to defend against Anthony Crolla and appointed promotional bids for February 6.
Oscar Valdez will return to the ring this evening as he will defend his WBO featherweight title against Carmine Tommasone. The Mexican will return after an extremely spectacular and tough fight with Scott Quigg, in which he scored a hard victory and broke his jaw, which took almost a year to heal.
On the undercard will also take place the next fight of the promosing lightweight Teofimo Lopez, who will meet the former title challenger Diego Magdaleno.
