ADDITIONAL INFO
In the main event, OTX’s powerhouse Elijah Pierce (19-2, 16 KOs), returns to the ring, chasing the WBA World Title as he currently stands at #4. He’s determined to defend his territory and keep his undefeated OTX streak alive. He faces Colombian warrior Jose Sanmartin (35-8, 21 KOs), who brings nearly double the experience. This is a showdown you won’t want to miss.
In the co-main event, two newcomers to the OTX ring will face off: two-time national Golden Gloves champion and 2016 Olympic alternate Maliek Montgomery (17-0, 16 KOs), who enters the ring with an undefeated record and 16 of his 17 victories by KO. His opponent, Mexican fighter Ramiro Cesena (17-2, 13 KOs), boasts a similar knockout percentage, with 13 of his 17 victories coming by KO. One thing is certain: both fighters throw an unbelievable amount of punches so this fight will be characterized by nonstop action!
Last year at OTX, Lorenzo “Truck” Simpson (14-1, 8 KOs) was the favorite to win the main event against Vlad Hernandez. However, Vlad handed him his first and only professional loss. This time around, Truck is on a mission for redemption at OTX. His opponent, Cuban fighter Raiko Santana (10-4, 6 KOs), should be prepared for a fierce battle.
In the women’s bout, we have a fight that will determine the next mandatory challenger for the WBC Women’s World Featherweight Title so pressure is on the line. Team USA World Gold Medalist Tiara Brown (16-0, 11 KOs) will face Uruguay’s Gabriela Bouvier (19-12, 4 KOs). Tiara enters this match riding high from an impressive TKO victory over Angi Romero in Colombia.
In the TV Opener, Atlanta local Casey Dixon (4-0, 4 KOs) will square off against a yet-to-be-announced fighter in the light heavyweight division. Though Casey is a young pro, he has secured all his victories by knockout, making him a rising star to watch.
New Yorker Donte Layne (2-0, 2 KOs) returns to the OTX ring to go toe-to-toe with the rugged journeyman and Toronto native Montrel James (2-10, 4 KOs) in a super middleweight division clash. Layne, who showcased his power by defeating Deshun Mitchell with a swift knockout in the first round back in March, is ready to make his mark again.
