The Richard Torrez Jr. vs. Guido Vianello main card airs at 10 p.m. ET. Torrez and Vianello should make their way to the ring around midnight ET, depending on how long the undercard fights last.
A third-generation boxer, Torrez (12-0) won silver at the 2020 Olympics and is a two-time U.S. National Championships gold medalist. The 25-year-old has won all but one of his fights via knockout.
Headlining an event for Top Rank, the bout is a significant test for Torrez. The California-born fighter with the slick mustache is ready to make a name for himself.
"This is something I've been working toward for a long time," Torrez said. "I want to prove that I'm the best heavyweight out there and show what American heavyweights are made of. When they offered me Guido, I didn't hesitate. I'm ready to go."
A 2014 EU Championships silver medalist, Vianello (13-2-1) is 3-1 in his last four fights. After losing to Efe Ajagba in an attempt to advance his career, the Italian took out Arslanbek Makhmudov in August to get back on track.
"I am excited for this fight. After fighting Makhmudov, I showed I was ready for anyone," Vianello said. "Richard is a talented young fighter, but he has never faced anyone like me. I will show myself to be Top Rank's best heavyweight and move on to challenge for world titles."
