Fresh off his best win yet, Khalil Coe will face Jesse Hart on October 11 at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia.
The ten-round bout, which will be the co-main event to the Jaron Ennis vs. Uisma Lima fight, will be streamed live on DAZN.
Coe, 10-1-1 (8 KOs), of Jersey City is riding a new high in his career after avenging his previous loss to Manuel Gallegos with a dominant sixth round stoppage in May. The 29-year-old light heavyweight will be traveling to Hart’s hometown, where Hart has never lost in seven previous appearances. Hart, 31-3 (25 KOs), is riding a five fight winning streak since his split decision loss to Joe Smith Jnr in 2020, but hasn’t fought since April of 2024 when he stopped Daniel Aduku in five rounds.
Hart has challenged twice for world titles, dropping decisions to Gilberto Ramirez in two fights for the WBO super middleweight title.
Matchroom Boxing also announced Wednesday a number of fights that will appear on the undercard.
Alexis Barriere, 12-0 (10 KOs), of Quebec City, Canada will face Guido Vianello, 13-3-1 (11 KOs), in a heavyweight bout. The 34-year-old Barriere, a southpaw, will be fighting for just the second time in the U.S., while Vianello, 31, of Rome, Italy is looking to upset his second Quebec-based boxer in a year, having stopped Arslanbek Makhmudov last August.
In other bouts, Jose Roman, 14-1 (6 KOs), of Bayamon, Puerto Rico will face Philadelphia’s Tahmir Smalls, 15-0 (11 KOs), in a ten round fight. Roman, 31, is coming off a split decision win over Jalil Hackett in December, and was due to rematch him before Hackett had to withdraw on fight week ahead of their scheduled bout in Orlando, Florida in March. Smalls, 26, appeared on Ennis’ last undercard in April, scoring a first round knockout of Earl Bascome.
Also listed for the card include Zaquin Moses, 4-0 (3 KOs), who kicks off the main DAZN card in a six round junior lightweight bout against Antonio Dunton El Jnr, 6-4-2 (2 KOs), plus Giorgio Visioli, (8-0, 6 KOs) against James Wilkins, 13-3 (6 KOs) in an eight round junior lightweight fight. Also scheduled to fight are Harley Mederos, 8-0 (7 KOs); Dennis Thompson, 7-0 (5 KOs), and Justin Palmieri, 5-0 (3 KOs), all in six round fights.
