Who’s Fighting? Trevor Bryan (22-0, 15 KOs) will take on Daniel Dubois (17-1, 16 KOs) in a heavyweight fight promoted by 90-year-old Don King. Despite his undefeated record, Bryan is a heavy underdog to Dubois, who weighed in at a much leaner 241.6 pounds compared to Bryan’s hulking 259.6. Dulac, Louisiana native Jonathan "King of the Bayou" Guidry lost to Bryan in a split decision back in January, but he’ll have a shot at redemption when he fights Dacarree "Mac Truck" Scott in a 10-round heavyweight fight ahead of the main event.
The stacked undercard features Ahmed Elbiali (21-1, 18 KOs) versus Dervin Colina (16-1, 14 KOs) in a light heavyweight fight; Tre'Sean Wiggins (13-5-3, 7KOs) fighting Travis Castellon (17-4-1, 12 KOs) in a welterweight match; cruiserweight Johnnie Langston (10-3, 4 KOs) against Isaiah Thompson (6-1-1, 5KOs); middleweight Ian Green (15-2, 11 KOs) fighting Anthony Lenk (17-8, 7KOs); a junior welterweight battle between Raynel Mederos (6-0, 1KO) and Ryan Wilson (1-0, 1KO); and a super middleweight fight featuring Luis J Rodriguez (8-0, 8 KOs) and Ryan Adams (8-5-1, 6 KOs).
What’s at Stake? According to Boxing Scene, the winner of the Bryan-Dubois fight “will become the WBA mandatory challenger for unified WBA “Super”/IBF/WBO/IBO heavyweight titlist Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13KOs), who will face former two-time titlist Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22KOs) in a rematch targeted for August 13 or 20 in Saudi Arabia.”
