Looking to impress the boxing fans in attendance, the two fighters competing in this 10 round matchup are Antonio Franceschi (5 - 12 - 2) who hails from Catania, Italy and Pepe Zurio(8 - 7(1) - 1) from Palermo, Italy.

As Zurio came in over the weight limit, only his opponent will be able to compete for the final eliminator position tonight.
