The Texas Hold ’Em Showdown undercard promises a thrilling lineup. Ranked No. 1 by the WBA, No. 3 by the IBF, and No. 6 by The Ring, Austin’s Floyd “Kid Austin” Schofield (19-0, 13 KOs) will face former Olympian and world champion Joseph “JoJo” Diaz Jr. (34-8-1, 15 KOs), of El Monte, California, in a 10-round lightweight co-main event. Houston’s Darius “DFG” Fulghum (14-1, 12 KOs) and Reading, Pennsylvania’s David “Dynamite” Stevens (15-2, 10 KOs) will square off in a 10-round super middleweight bout.
