History will be made this week when the first championship fight on a Fight Club OC show will take place Thursday in The Hangar at the OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa, California. 2012 Rio Olympic Bronze Medal winner Murodjon Akhmadaliev faces Ramon Contreras for the vacant WBA Intercontinental super bantamweight belt.

Akhmadaliev at 4-0 was not only the Olympic Bronze Medal winner in 2012 for his native Uzbekistan but also the 2015 world amateur champion. He will face without a doubt his toughest test to date, meeting the current WBA Fedebol super bantamweight champion Ramon Contreras from Chile who brings a 15-6 record with six knockouts. The winner could have a shot at a 2019 date with current world champion Daniel Roman, so a lot is at stake.

Fans from around the world can watch this title fight as well as the entire six bout card will be shown on Facebook Live. Tickets for the August 23rd Fight Club OC show all priced at $60 are available online at www.socafights.com.
