Title Fight
IBF Charles McCoy (35-10-3) vs. #16 Bob Fitzsimmons (40-5) (by TKO5 in 12/08, KO5 12/07, by TKO14 06/03)
Fitzsimmons was forced back to 100 pp when he came back from retirement, that rule has since been banished. He is getting this opportunity because of the WBA title tourney which knocked out 8 top ranked fighters from being eligible for this shot
Four other fights are on the fight cards
