115 pound titlist Khalid Yafai will defend his title against David Carmona oon a card where fellow 115 titleholder Jerwin Ancajas will also defend his title in the United States.
“I have made a deal with Yafai promoter Eddie(Hearn) for the fight and it gives us a nice doubleheader,” Top Rank’s Carl Moretti said. “They are both good fights, and if (Ancajas and Yafai) are successful, we’ll look to match them later this year.”
“Carmona went the distance with Inoue and that says something,” Moretti said. “It should be an entertaining and competitive fight.”
“I think bringing Ancajas back in an all-Filipino matchup should be interesting in and out of the ring and when you couple that with Yafai in another title fight where we hope to match them later in the year if they win makes for a very good show,” Moretti said.
