Yoenis Téllez: The Rising Contender
Téllez has quickly built a reputation in the super welterweight division with an impressive 9-0 record, featuring seven knockouts. His power was on full display when he stopped Sergio Garcia in the third round during the Terence Crawford vs. Errol Spence undercard. He followed that performance with a seventh-round TKO of Johan Gonzalez in October 2024. Now, Téllez aims to make a statement against a former champion.
Julian “J-Rock” Williams: The Veteran Champ
Julian “J-Rock” Williams enters this bout with a 28-4-1 (1) record and a wealth of experience.
