On February 25, at the Premier Boxing Champions tournament in Minneapolis, a rematch between the WBC and WBO super bantamweight champion will take place Stephen Fulton (21-0, 8 KOs) and Brandon Figueroa (23-1-1, 18 KOs).
Boxers crossed their gloves for the first time in November 2011. After an interesting twelve rounds, Fulton won by split decision. Since then, both fighters had one fight each.
On the same evening, there will also be a fight for the vacant IBF world super lightweight title between Subriel Matias (18-1, 18 KOs) and Jeremias Ponce (30-0, 20 KOs). This duel has already been postponed several times.
Previously, this title belonged to Josh Taylor, but the Scot left it vacant, refusing to enter the mandatory defense. For Matias and Ponce, this will be the first opportunity to become a champion in their professional careers. Fans at the evening in Minneapolis will also see the fight between former WBA regular belt holder Jamal James (27-2, 12 KOs) and Alberto Palmetta (18-1, 13 KOs).
