Some of the biggest names in the sport will feature when D4G Promotions hold their latest star-studded event in Dubai next month - with Badou Jack, Rocky Fielding, Ohara Davies and Muhammad Waseem all in action.
The highly-anticipated card will take place at MotoSpace on Friday 26 November, and will be broadcast live in the US on ESPN+ in association with Top Rank, and worldwide on IFL TV.
In the main event, Golden Contract winner Ohara Davies (22-2, 16 KOs) faces a tough test against hard-hitting Ismael Barroso (23-3-2, 21 KOs) for the WBA Gold super-lightweight title, with the fight also serving as a WBA super-lightweight title eliminator.
Badou Jack (24-3-3, 14 KOs) will make his return, as the two-weight world champion looks to begin his quest towards claiming world honours in another division, as he moves up to cruiserweight to take on Johnny Muller (23-9-2, 14 KOs).
Pakistan hero Muhammad Waseem (11-1, 8 KOs) attempts to earn another world title shot too, with the current IBF #4 going up against former world title challenger Rober Barrera (23-3, 13 KOs).
Rocky Fielding (28-2, 16 KOs) is also back after over two years out, when the former super-middleweight world champion returns at light-heavyweight, with an opponent announced shortly.
Some of the best up-and-coming prospects will compete on the card too, as Bader Samreen (3-0, 2 KOs) returns against Digari Mahesh (4-1-1, 1 KO), Faizan Anwar (8-0, 4 KOs) takes on Viktor Plotnikov (33-13, 15 KOs), former Muay Thai fighter Joshua Ridgwell makes his professional boxing debut, and Sameer Anwar Pandya (3-0, 3 KOs) is in action.
Ahmed A Seddiqi of D4G Promotions said: "I'm extremely excited for this very special night of boxing. There are many talented, great boxers on display. Ohara Davies will fight against Ismael Barroso in a WBA eliminator, and we are also proud and happy to have Badou Jack fighting in Dubai as he is a frequent visitor here.
"Of course we have Rocky Fielding too, and the most talented fighter in Pakistan Muhammad Waseem. This will be a night to remember."

The stats and the odds suggest a Davies win would be an upset

Didn’t know Barroso still fighting

Not a bad card all things considered. Barroso a bit old but he's won his last 3 or 4 to include a decision of Yves Ulisse. Don't think that's a gimme for Davies. The Waseem fight also looks to be decent, other than that there are some names in showcase fights.

Looks like the heat is off the WBA after a couple decent moves , guess we'll always have a Regular and Super WBA belt

It's a step in the right direction as it gets him out. And probably still one of the best names on his record. He should rematch Miguel Vazquez. He knows himself he lost that fight. Although fair play to him for admitting it and fighting on with a broken Jaw. But he better hope he doesn't actually get a rematch with Taylor as
