Robert Guerrero (31-2-1, 18 KOs), of Gilroy, Calif., returns to the ring for the first time since facing pound-for-pound champ Floyd Mayweather in 2013 on SHOWTIME PPV® to take on Japan’s hard-hitting Yoshihiro Kamegai (24-1-1, 21 KOs) in the 12-round main event.
In a compelling matchup in the co-feature, unbeaten, yet untested Gary Russell Jr. (24-0, 14 KOs), of Capitol Heights, Md., meets perhaps the greatest amateur boxer of all-time, VasylLomachenko (1-1, 1 KO), of Ukraine, for the vacant WBO Featherweight World Championship. Former two-division world champion Devon Alexander (25-2, 14 KOs), of St. Louis, battles always dangerous Jesus Soto Karass (28-9-3, 18 KOs), of Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico, in a 10-round super welterweight match that will open up the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING tripleheader.
