Sammy Vasquez will meet Emmanuel Lartey in the main event of a 10-round welterweight bout on Friday.
Vasquez (17-0, 13 KO’s) has only been fighting professionally for a little more than three years, but has swiftly become one of the hottest commodities at welterweight. A two-tour veteran of the Iraq War, Vasquez will look for his ninth consecutive knockout when he faces Lartey. As a result of his service, the broadcast will also air on the Armed Forces Network.
Lartey (16-2-1, 8 KO’s) has yet to be finished in his boxing career. Hailing from Ghana, the 33-year-old has only been victorious once in his last three fights. The fight will be Bukom Jah’s ninth appearance on American soil.
