3/28 – Grady Brewer (30-18, 16 KO’s) vs. Chris Chatman (11-3-1, 5 KO’s) – Twin River Event Center, Lincoln, Rhode Island, USA
Brewer, winner of season 2 of “The Contender” in 2006, takes an eight rounder with the hopes of snapping a four fight losing streak. Chatman’s fought just once a year since 2012, and dropped a six round decision in January.

3/29 – Nate Campbell (36-11-1, 26 KO’s) vs. Gilbert Venegas (12-13-4, 8 nate_campbellscreamingKO’s) – Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort, Destin, Florida, USA
The Galaxxy Warriors best days are behind him, but the 42 year old former lightweight champ is still at it. After back to back wins in 2012, Campbell lost both his bouts in 2013 inside the distance. Venegas may be the perfect opponent to pick up a win against; he’s winless in his last seven contests.

3/29 –Jon-Lewis Dickinson (14-2, 3 KO’s) vs. Neil Dawson (12-2, 5 KO’s) – Metro Radio Arena, Newcastle, Tyne and Wear, United Kingdom
Dickinson makes the third defense of his BBBofC British cruiserweight title. Unbeaten in his last six bouts, he’s also the former holder of the BBBofC English and the BBBofC Northern Area titles. Dawson is the WBO International cruiserweight champ and a Prizefighter contestant last year.

3/29- Frankie Gavin (18-0, 12 KO’s) vs. Sacky Shikukutu (18-2-1, 12 KO’s) – Metro Radio Arena, Newcastle, Tyne and Wear, United Kingdom
The reigning BBBofC British and Commonwealth (British Empire) welterweight champ defends the Commonwealth title for the second time. Shikukutu, holder of the interim WBO Africa welterweight title, is on a five fight winning streak.

3/29 – Brian Viloria (32-4, 19 KO’s) vs. Juan Herrera (9-7, 4 KO’s) – Texas Station Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
Coming off a loss last April, the former world flyweight champion returns against Herrera, also coming in off a loss in December. “Hawaiian Punch” also has another bout scheduled for May.
