Not only were two world title fights announced for the show, set to take place on February 9, but a pair of former title challengers as well among other boxers. The biggest name of the non-title bouts is Joseph Diaz Jr. taking on Charles Huerta. It will be Diaz’s first fight since beating WBA “Regular” featherweight champion Jesus Rojas in a non-title bout. Diaz’s fight will be for 10 rounds in the super featherweight division.
