The card will be headlined by a 12-round bout between Los Angeles’ Maikito Martinez (34-10-1, 27 knockouts) and St. Louis’ Arthur Johnson (12-3, seven knockouts) for Martinez’s North American Boxing Federation flyweight title. Johnson, trained by Angelo Dundee, has fought twice for the world flyweight title.

In another 12-rounder, Jorge Elicer Julio of Colombia (32-1, 24 knockouts) will face Bulgarian Michael Gallati for Julio’s North American Boxing Organization featherweight title.
