GH3 Promotions will have super middleweight Ronald Ellis against Junior Younan fight in the 10-round main event. Also slated for the broadcast are three scheduled eight-round bouts: junior welterweight Wellington Romero against Samuel Teah, lightweight Thomas Mattice taking on Rolando Chinea and, in the opener, lightweight Devin Haney against Harmonito Dela Torre.

– The WBC ordered Regis Prograis and Viktor Postol to enter negotiations to decide on a date and venue for an interim WBC junior welterweight title bout. If they do not come to an agreement, the WBC said it will conduct a purse bid on January 12 at its offices in Mexico City with each fighter entitled to 50 percent of the winning bid. The actual WBC world junior welterweight title, formerly held by Terence Crawford is still vacant, but Jose Ramirez and Amir Imam are scheduled to fight for the vacant title on the March 17 ESPN card from Madison Square Garden.
