Rolls (19-0, 10 KO) will look to shock the world as a +1800 underdog and make himself a household name. The Canadian has mostly fought within Canada and has only had two ShoBox appearances in the past. It's a huge opportunity for him, but one that most spectators aren't expecting him to seize upon. Rolls looked prepared at the weigh-in and officially came in at 163.8 pounds.
The co-main event will see two undefeated super middleweight prospects face off against one another. Ali Akmedov (14-0, 10 KO) has more knockout power and will be looking to impress against Marcus McDaniel (15-0, 2 KO). Another prospect on the card is junior middleweight Charles Conwell (9-0, 7 KO), who will take on Courtney Pennington (12-3-3, 5 KO).
The entire card will be aired on Dazn starting at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT, while the main card kicks off at 9 p.m ET/6 p.m. PT.
