Alexis Rocha is set to defend on his home turf as he clashes with Anthony Young on May 27. This will be the second time Rocha (22-1-0, 14 KOs) will be fighting this year after he defeated George Ashie by knockout in January making it his sixth victory in a row, with his last loss in October 2020 at the hands of Rashidi Ellis. Anthony Young (24-2-0, 8 KOs) last fought in October 2022, earning a unanimous decision win over Jose Zaragoza in Atlantic City. The New Jersey native now crosses coasts in search of his 14th consecutive victory.
Luis Alberto Lopez will defend his IBF featherweight title against Michael Conlan in a 12 Rounds IBF Featherweight Title Fight on 27th May. Conlan (18-1, 9 KOs), 31, suffered his lone professional defeat against Leigh Wood in ESPN's 2022 Fight of the Year. Conlan floored Wood in the opening round and was ahead on all three scorecards when Wood sent him through the ropes for a 12th-round TKO victory. Lopez (27-2, 15 KOs) will be making the first defence of the title he wrested from Josh Warrington in December. The 29-year-old Mexican fighter was in his opponent's backyard, Leeds, England, but did enough to eke out the majority decision in a gruelling fight.
Former WBO World Heavyweight Champion Joseph Parker(31-3, 21 KOs) will take on Faiga 'Django' Opelu (15-3-2, 11 KOs) for the vacant Commonwealth Heavyweight Title. The pair battles it out for the Commonwealth title. The bout is scheduled for 10 rounds. Morecambe, Lancashire-based Parker (31-3, 21 KOs) last fought in January in Manchester, where he scored a unanimous decision against Jack Massey on Eubank Jr vs Smith undercard. Fighting out of Camira, Queensland, Opelu (15-3-2, 11 KOs) was in action in March in Melbourne, where he faced Kris Terzievski in the bout that ended in a technical draw.
Irish legend Taylor (22-0, 6 KOs) fights in Ireland for the first time in her professional career. She bids to create even more history and further cement herself as the greatest female fighter on the planet when she meets England’s Cameron on May 20th. Scotney (6-0, 0 KO) is coming off a nice win over Mary Romero in October, which earned her the European title at 122 and capped off a 3-0 2022. Melbourne’s Johnson claimed her title last April with a close decision over Melissa Esquivel, then defended it six months later by beating Susie Ramadan. Besides the main event between Katie Taylor and Chantelle Cameron, the card will also see former undisputed welterweight champion Cecilia Braekhus return to action to challenge super welterweight champion Terri Harper.
