USBA super bantamweight champ Mike "Machine" Oliver (18-0, 7 KO) returns to the ring Friday, May 4, when he headlines Alpha - Omega's "Battle Zone 3" at the Mohegan Sun Arena, in Uncasville, Connecticut. The bout will be broadcast on the New England Sports Network (NESN), with Oliver's opponent to be announced in the very near future.
It will be Oliver's first time climbing back in the ring, since his February 16 unanimous decision victory over then unbeaten Gary Stark Jr. The bout with Stark, which was a heavily anticipated showdown between two of the super bantamweight division's most touted prospects, was broadcast live on ShoBox, and ended with an extremely close and controversial decision. Judges at ringside scored the bout 116-112 (twice) and 115-113, all in favor of Oliver.
