Jessie Vargas and Liam Smith look to prolong their careers with perhaps one more title fight as they fight in New York on April 30.
The pair are the biggest fight on the card after the headline event of Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano at Madison Square Garden, shown live on DAZN.
Smith and Vargas are both former world champions and with the pair of them into their early thirties, an impressive result for either of them might earn them a shot at one more belt.
The pair were due to fight back in February but the American contracted a case of Covid-19 which postponed the fight for a couple of months, but now they finally have the chance to settle their match-up.
