Steve Claggett and Carlos Sanchez Valadez meet in a super lightweight contest in Canada on Friday night.
Claggett comes into this fight on the back of a third round stoppage win over Alberto Machado in June.
Valadez's last outing in April however was controversial. The Mexican managed to get past Alexander Duran after an accidental clash of heads in the sixth saw the fight brought to an early end and the result determined on the judges' scorecards.
With scores of 58-56, 58-56 and 60-56, Valadez was declared the winner despite many thinking that Duran was the better fighter during the contest's duration.
