The 33 year-old Beamon has won several regional championships in his four-year professional career, [but Saludar probably has the edge in big-fight experience].  The 33-year-old Saludar hails from Cagayan de Oro City, Misamis Oriental in The Philippines. He challenged former champ Sho Kimura for the WBO flyweight belt in July 2018. 

 

The 26 year-old Cody Crowley is an undefeated southpaw from Peterborough, Ontario. He was last seen in February of this year, pitching a shutout in defense of his Canadian championship  against Stuart McClellan.

 

The 30-year-old Navid Mansouri hails from Rotherham, Yorkshire, United Kingdom, but is currently living in Los Angeles and training at the legendary Wild Card Gym. He won the English 154-pound title in 2013 and successfully defended it three times. 

 

The 33 year-old Miguel Angel Gonzalez is a comebacking southpaw with victories over several quality foes in his 11-year professional boxing career, but this will be his first fight in nearly four years.

 

Albinius Felesianu hails from Swakopmund, Namibia. He has not lost a pro bout since 2008. 

 

The 24 year-old Montana Love is a southpaw from Cleveland. In July of last year, he fought to a draw vs. 12-1 Kenneth Sims Jr at the WinnaVegas Casino & Resort, in Sloan, Iowa, and live on ShoBox: The New Generation. Love was also the star of a widely viewed viral video of an infamous sparring session where he allegedly bested WBA 130-pound champion Gervonta Davis. 

 

The 24-year-old Tshibangu Kayembe hails from Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of The Congo. He is a nine-year professional and this will be his first fight outside of Africa.
