Fighter history

Holmes (12-0) is off to an extremely hot start to his career being undefeated to this point. The southpaw has five career KOs in his career. This will be his first time in the ring since March 2022, when he defeated Vernon Brown via unanimous decision. A win here could net him a big opportunity here in the near future. He has yet to get a title opportunity, but one is certainly on the horizon.

Villarreal (12-0) got his start a year after Holmes did in 2017 but has still managed to have the same record. This will be his first time in the ring since July 2022, when he defeated LeShawn Rodriguez via TKO. The orthodox fighter will have his hands full this weekend with Holmes, who not only is a southpaw but has a height advantage as well.
