In the co-main event, scheduled for eight rounds in the super middleweight division, Flint, Michigan's Dirrell battles an opponent to be named, while in a featured attraction, San Diego's undefeated top prospect Orozco will meet fellow junior welterweight Jose Reynoso of Riverside in an eight-round All-California showdown.

Dallas' Spence Jr. (4-0, 3 KO's) faces an opponent to be determined in a six-round junior middleweight bout while South El Monte, California's Diaz Jr. (3-0, 1 KO) will take on Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico's Eric Gotay (3-1, 1 KO) in a six-round junior featherweight battle. The exhilarating night of boxing action, which will take place on the eve of the "MAY DAY: Mayweather vs. Guerrero" mega-event, is presented by Golden Boy Promotions and Mayweather Promotions and sponsored by Corona.

Returning to the ring for the first time since a devastating 2012 motorcycle accident, former amateur star Anthony Dirrell (24-0, 21 KO's) is eager to resume his promising professional career on May 3. The 28-year-old successfully battled Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 2007 and, since winning that fight, has gone on to win 12 more in the ring, most recently stopping Renan St. Juste in four rounds in December of 2011. 25-year-old Antonio Orozco (16-0, 12 KO's) lives up to his nickname "Relentless" in the ring and the results have been impressive thus far for the fan favorite. The winner of four straight by knockout, Orozco put on a stellar performance in his last effort against Danny Escobar in November 2012, shutting his foe out for five rounds before knocking him out in the sixth. Southpaw Jose Reynoso (16-4-1, 3 KO's) is a crafty fighter in the ring able to adapt to any situation after the bell rings. A pro since 2003, the 28-year-old has won five of his last six, with his only loss coming in a WBO Intercontinental title fight against top contender Ruslan Provodnikov last June. On May 3, he will look to show that the Provodnikov loss was a fluke. A full undercard will be announced shortly.
