A couple of days ago BoxingScene's Francisco Salazar tweeted(@FSalazarBoxing):

I've been told that the Dec. 12 HBO telecast is penciled for The Forum in Inglewood, Calif .. #boxing

Well, according to a few sources that date might now be December 19th as there is a concert scheduled at that venue on December 12th.

Top Rank has the opening slot and has penciled in former WBA featherweight champion Nicholas Walters.

Walters was in the ring on June 13, when he won a twelve round unanimous decision over Miguel Marriaga at The Theater in Madison Square Garden in New York City. 

The main event will be handled by Golden Boy Promotions and they are kicking around the idea of a fight involving Sadam Ali or the return of James Kirkland.

Ali, the mandatory challenger to Tim Bradley's WBO welterweight championship, saw action on April 25th with a ten round decision over Francisco Santana.

Kirkland has not been in the ring since suffering a brutal third round knockout loss at the hands of Saul "Canelo" Alvarez on May 9th.
