Golden Boy has unveiled the total undercard for Vergil Ortiz Jr’s August tenth showdown with Serhii Bohachuk. Along with Gabriela Fundora’s earlier revealed title protection towards Daniela Asenjo, the present will see Charles Conwell and Kenneth Sims Jr return to motion in separate bouts.
Conwell (19-0, 14 KO), who kicked off his GBP tenure by mauling Nathaniel Gallimore in April, meets New England membership fighter Khiary Grey (18-6, 13 KO) at 154. Grey is an skilled B-side with losses to Spike O’Sullivan and Bakhram Murtazaliev underneath his belt and only one combat since 2021; he’s doomed right here, however that is additionally a particularly fast turnaround by Conwell’s requirements, so no matter.
The freshly signed Sims (20-2-1, 7 KO) ends a 16-month layoff towards Jesus Perez (25-5, 18 KO) in his first combat since outlasting Batyr Akhmedov to earn the highest spot within the WBA’s tremendous light-weight rankings. Champ Isaac Cruz has a pending date with Jose Valenzuela and can presumably then should face the winner of Ismael Barroso vs Andy Hiraoka, so this can be a tolerable rust-shaking combat. Perez has by no means been stopped even when competing at 147, taking Alexis Rocha and Brian Norman Jr the space, and is coming off a call over JoJo Diaz.
