Rey Vargas vs Leonardo Baez
Former WBC super-bantamweight world champ Rey Vargas steps back into the ring following an injury lay-off when he meets Leonardo Baez in another 10-rounder.
The 30-year-old Mexican (34-0, 22 KOs) captured the WBC strap from Brit Gavin McDonnell back in 2017.
Baez has knocked out his last three opponents for a 21-4 record and is four years younger than his fellow countryman Vargas.
Elvis Rodriguez vs Juan Pablo Romero
Opening the pay-per-view show will be the Dominican Elvis Rodriguez taking on Mexico’s Juan Pablo Romero.
Rodríguez (11-1-1) burst onto the scene by winning 10 for his first 11 fights by knock-out.
Romero represented Mexico at the 2016 Olympics before turning pro a year later and remains undefeated with 14 victories in his career so far.
