With a record of 32-5-1, he has secured wins over the likes of Dominick Reyes, Khalil Rountree, Jr. and ex-champion Jamahal Hill. Standing in his way will be Ulberg, who has lost just once in 15 pro fights.
He owns a nine-fight win streak that includes wins over Reyes, Alonzo Menifield and former champion Jan Blachowicz.
