In the main event the legendary Roy Jones, Jr. takes on Bare Knuckle legend Bobby Gunn for the WBF Cruiserweight title LIVE ON PAY-PER-VIEW at the Chase Center in Wilmington, Delaware.

"I want to thank David Feldman Promotions, King's Promotions. Nelsons Promotions, and Raynelo Management are giving me an opportunity of a lifetime to show my skills in the ring," said Aguero. "I come from nothing in the Dominican Republic, and I managed to get out alive and now I have to take advantage of opportunities like this. I'm on the card with Ring Legend Roy Jones Jr. in my first debut in the US, this is a dream come true. " Aguero is coming off a 1st round stoppage over Juan Miguel Garcia on June 24th.

He has rebounded nicely with wins over Daniel Perales, Jonathan Perez, and an explosive 2nd round stoppage over Kiun Evans on September 9, 2016 in Reading, PA. "My training has been good. I have been waiting to get back in there after 5 months,"said De Alba. "I know Meraz is a Mexican, and I expect him to come forward, and it will be a great war." De Alba is very excited about the opportunity to fight on a high profile card that will be headlined by Roy Jones, Jr. "I am very much looking forward to fight on this card that will be headlined by Roy Jones, Jr. He is a legend, and to share the same ring as him is a great honor." The Douglas fight was a good experience for De Alba, and his performance in his subsequent bouts has shown that he has learned and raised his game from that contest. "After the Douglas loss, that fight made me aware of my talent. I could have won that fight. I learned that I have the talent and now the experience that will pave the way in my career. But first things first. I am just ready to get back in the ring on Friday and perform in Wilmington, and hopefully make some new fans for Team De Alba."
