LAS VEGAS (April 18, 2019) - The first-ever women's main event for RJJ Boxing will stream live and exclusively on UFC FIGHT PASS?, along with three other bouts, on May 23, from Casino Del Sol's outdoor AVA Amphitheater in Tucson, Arizona at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT.

Former World Boxing Council (WBC) International female lightweight champion Ikram Kerwat (9-1, 5 KOs), fighting out of Frankfort, Germany by way of her native Tunisia, will headline against a challenger to be determined in the 10-round main event for the vacant WBC International Female Lightweight Championship.

In an eight-round bout, unbeaten bantamweight Max "The Baby Face Assassin" Ornelas (12-0-1, 4 KOs), ranked No. 12 in the world by the World Boxing Organization (WBO) and the reigning NABA USA bantamweight champion, takes on tough Mexican opponent, Alex "Xhino" Rangel (17-9, 4 KOs).
