Former World Heavyweight Champion Charles Martin (29-3-1, 26 KOs) will become a new opponent Jared Anderson (13-0, 13 KOs) as part of the boxing evening from Top Rank on July 1 in Toledo.

It was previously announced that Anderson would cross gloves with Jean Kosobutsky (19-0, 18 KOs), but the boxer from Kazakhstan got in the way of visa problems. The last time Martin fought was in September, defeating Devin Vargas.

The main event of the undercard of this tournament will be another heavyweight fight in which Arslanbek Makhmudov (16-0, 15 KOs), who leads the WBC and WBA ratings, will meet Nigerian Rafael Akpegiori (15-0, 14 KOs).
