Opportunity knocks for new headliner Raymond Muratalla

ONE man’s loss is another man’s gain in Las Vegas tonight as Raymond Muratalla steps up into the headline slot left vacant by Janibek Alimkhanuly, who was forced to withdraw due to dehydration concerns.

This is destined to be a breakout bout for Muratalla against former world champion Tevin Farmer, who reckons the California banger, unbeaten in 20 (16 KOs), has bitten off more than he can chew and is not ready for such an elevated opportunity.

Despite Janibek’s exit, there is enough to keep the card afloat as former world title challenger Ruben Villa gets lifted up to co-feature territory. Popular Charlie Sheehy and puncher Art Barrera Jr also feature.
