Featherweight world titlist Shakur Stevenson goes up in weight to face Felix Caraballo in the main event of a Top Rank card on Tuesday at the MGM Grand Conference Center in Las Vegas.
Before that, a few good prospects will showcase their skills on the undercard.
In the co-main event, heavyweight Jared Anderson (3-0, 3 KOs) faces Johnnie Langston (8-2, 3 KOs) in a six-round battle.
Another unbeaten heavyweight, Guido Vianello (6-0, 6 KOs), meets veteran power puncher Donald Haynesworth (16-3-1, 14 KOs), and middleweight Calvin Metcalf (10-3-1, 3 KOs) faces Quatavious Cash (11-2, 7 KOs). Both fights are scheduled for six rounds.
To open the broadcast, two-time Olympic gold medalist Robeisy Ramirez will look for his third victory in a row after losing his professional debut in August. Ramirez (2-1, 2 KOs), who defeated Stevenson in the finals of the 2016 Olympics, faces Yeuri Andujar (5-3, 3 KOs) in a six-round bout.

Fight in progress ...
Vianello defeats Haynesworth
Heavyweight prospect Guido Vianello, of Italy, scored his seventh stoppage in as many fights by halting Donald Haynesworth in the first round. After a relatively measured start, a chopping overhand right sent Haynesworth to the canvas.
Haynesworth (16-4-1, 14 KOs) was able to get up, but referee Jay Nady didn't like what he was seeing from him and the fight was waved off at 2:16 minutes of the first round. After training under the direction of Abel Sanchez for the first four bouts of his career, Vianello (7-0, 7 KOs), is now working with Kevin Barry.
"In the gym I try to work every day on my right hand, and I've been trying to do more with my jab," Vianello said. "I try to change my distance, go up and down with my jab, and I try every day to strengthen my right hand.
"Italy needs to come back after the virus, and I love Italy, so I fight for my country. I'll stay here and I'll try to fight all summer -- maybe July, August -- I'll do two fights, and then I'll go back to my family."
Cash wins technical decision
Quatavious Cash scored a clear sixth-round technical decision over Calvin Metcalf in an entertaining middleweight contest. It was a well-matched fight that saw steady action from both fighters, who kept up a fast pace until the fight was stopped early in the final round because of a cut over Metcalf's left eye, which was opened by a clash of heads in the second round.

Cash (12-2, 7 KOs) possessed the superior skills and landed the more decisive punches, but Metcalf (10-4-1, 3 KOs) kept marching forward the entire fight. Although Metcalf's punches were numerous, they lacked power. The more noticeable punches were landed by Cash, who had to fight much of this bout backing up. Despite that, he came out on top by scores of 60-54, 60-55 and 59-55.
Ramirez stops Andujar in Round 1
Featherweight Robeisy Ramirez (3-1, 3 KOs) made quick work of Yeuri Andujar (5-4, 3 KOs), needing just 54 seconds to score his third consecutive stoppage victory. A hard left on the chin in the opening seconds of the bout stunned Andujar, who went down a short time later by a follow-up uppercut.
Andujar rose to his feet, but another booming overhand left from Ramirez had him down for the second time. Referee Tony Weeks immediately waved off the bout.
"It was an honor to be the first fight back, and I am proud of the performance I gave tonight," Ramirez said after the fight. "My pro debut is long behind me, and I am progressing with every fight. I hope to return shortly."
For Ramirez, a two-time Olympic gold medalist who scored a victory over Shakur Stevenson in the finals of the 2016 Olympic Games, it's another indication that his shocking upset loss to Adan Gonzalez in his pro debut was an aberration.
"Shakur is a world champion, and that's a fight I want down the line," Ramirez said. "But I have to continue my winning ways and prove that I'm worthy of that opportunity as a pro."
