While the main event tonight on ESPN features super lightweights Jose Pedraza and Richard Commey, the undercard in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is stacked with three big name heavyweights plus a hot up-and-coming heavyweight prospect.

The co-main event on ESPN features the long-awaited return of unbeaten heavyweight terror Jared “The Real Big Baby” Anderson (11-0, 11 KOs) against Miljan Rovcanin (24-2, 16 KOs) in an eight round bout. Opening the show, 2020 Olympic super heavyweight silver medal winner Richard Torrez Jr. (2-0, 2 KOs) looks to make it three knockouts in a row versus Marco Antonio Canedo (4-2, 2 KOs) in a bout scheduled for six.

The ESPN+ stream will include heavyweight destroyer Efe Ajagba (15-1, 12 KOs) against Jozsef Darmos (14-4-3, 10 KOs) in an eight round affair. Also seeing action is unbeaten local heavyweight prospect Jeremiah Milton (5-0, 4 KOs) against Nick Jones (9-4, 6 KOs) in a six rounder.

Somewhere Cedric Kushner is smiling.

  • Interested in seeing Jared Anderson back in the ring. He gave Tyson Fury all he could handle in sparring.

    • Also, you should be interested in a possible USYK versus TYSON. USYK would take him to school. TYSON FURY is overrated!

  • Cedric Kushner is smiling and, somewhere, Attila Levin is plotting his comeback.

  • I really like the idea of boxing in Oklahoma.shades of Joe hipp and trey ledge Morrison. But eye ajagaba a definite drawing card

    But I’m sure there are many out there to. Fill the joint up. Maguys Wach. bermaine Shiverme.
