Uncasville, Connecticut, USA-

The Showtime-televised card was originally slated to be headlined by a super welterweight ten-rounder featuring unbeaten southpaws Patrick Cora (10-0, 7 KOs) and Hurshidbek Normatov (10-0, 3 KOs). That bout was cancelled after Normatov tested positive for COVID-19.

The card also was to include WBO NABO featherweight champion Pedrito Marquez (Pedro Marguez Medina; WBO #11; 12-1, 8 KOs) facing Martino Jules (10-0, 2 KOs) in a non-title bout scheduled for eight rounds. Unfortunately, Marquez took ill and was forced to withdraw resulting in the match being scratched.
