Darlington`s middleweight boxer, Troy Williamson, has been unexpectedly added to the undercard of this weekend`s event at the Palms Casino Resort. The former British super-welterweight titleholder, with a record of 20 wins, 3 losses, 1 draw, and 14 knockouts, will face Jahi Tucker, who holds a 13-1-1 record with 6 KOs, in a 10-round match.
Williamson, known as `The Trojan`, appeared to be in excellent condition and shared a photo on X/Twitter to express his excitement about participating in the event.
Jahi Tucker, a 22-year-old fighter from New York, is currently on a three-fight winning streak. This positive run follows a loss and a draw that had previously threatened to slow down his career progression. Tucker has demonstrated resilience by overcoming these potential setbacks and has now earned another prominent spot on a high-profile undercard, this time in Las Vegas.
England`s Williamson is striving to regain the form that previously saw him defeat notable opponents like Ted Cheeseman and Mason Cartwright. Having suffered defeats in three of his last four bouts, Williamson is hoping that a sensational victory in the United States will propel him back into contention for major titles.
The main event of the Top Rank show will feature Richard Torrez Jr. as he aims to advance his career against Guido Vianello in a heavyweight clash. The event also includes a compelling crossroads fight between Lindolfo Delgado and Elvis Rodriguez, as well as appearances from promising prospects such as Abdullah Mason, Albert Gonzalez, and Art Barrera Jr.
