Danny O’Connor (23-2, 7 KO’s) vs. Andrew Farmer (18-2, 7 KO’s)

Sharif Bogere (25-1, 17 KO’s) vs. Fernando Garcia (30-6-2, 18 KO’s)
Bogere’s lone defeat came in a world title contest against RIchar Abril, but the former NABO lightweight champ holds wins over some notable opposition including Raymundo Beltran and Francisco Contreras.

10/31 – Christian Hammer (16-3, 10 KO’s) vs. Irineu Beato Costa (15-0, 13 KO’s) – Cuxhaven, Niedersachsen, Germany
Hammer is the former WBO European and German International heavyweight title holder, and comes in on a nine fight winning streak that includes victories over Danny Williams, Kevin Johnson, and Konstantin Airich. Costa is based in Brazil, and despite having impressive KO numbers, has only fought second tier fighters.
10/31 – Karo Murat (25-2-1, 15 KO’s) vs. Varol Vekiloglu (21-7-1, 13 KO’s) – Cuxhaven, Niedersachsen, Germany
Murat‘s last contest saw his opposite Bernard Hopkins in what was one of B-Hop’s most impressive recent performances. That was a year ago and Murat hasn’t fought since that loss. The former super middleweight and light heavyweight title holder returns against Vekiloglu, who’s lost three of his last four bouts.
10/31 – Danny Williams (46-23, 35 KO’s) vs. Adrian Granat (5-0, 4 KO’s) – Cuxhaven, Niedersachsen, Germany
The Brixton Bomber’s last bout was a four round loss to a fighter making his pro debut. The 41 year old former BBBofC and Commonwealth title holder has played the role of gatekeeper in recent years, and has only won two of his last 15 bouts though he’ll fight anyone. Granat’s career is just a year old.
11/1 – Koki Kameda (32-1, 17 KO’s) vs. Omar Salado (24-8-2, 15 KO’s) – UIC Pavilion, Chicago, Illinois, USA
Kameda makes the under card of the triple header his brother is headlining. The former three division world champion is making his U.S. debut; it’s his first bout in a year after making eight successful defenses of the WBA bantamweight championship. His one loss came against Pongsaklek Wonjongkam in 2010. After a good start to his career, Omar Salado has become an opponent to upper level fighters and has won just two of his last eight outings.
11/1 – Shannon Briggs (56-6-1, 49 KO’s) vs. Richard Carmack (12-5, 10 KO’s) – Isle of Capri Casino, Lula, Mississippi, USA
As the NABA and WBC Latino heavyweight title holder, Briggs takes a break from stalking Wladimir Klitschko to add another name to his list of hapless opponents. This is his sixth fight since returning earlier this year. Carmack has lost five straight, three by KO but he was the USA Mid-American heavyweight champ for a brief stint in 2012.
