The bout between Avious Griffin and Jackson Marinez, along with other matchups, has been added to the undercard of Amanda Serrano vs Lucrecia Manzur. The event takes place at Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, California, on August 21.
- Griffin (19-1, 18 KOs) of Chattanooga, Tennessee, comes off a sixth-round knockout victory over Jorge Arturo Ibarra Rodriguez in March, marking his second win in a row.
- Marinez (23-4, 11 KOs) of the Dominican Republic returns to the ring after stopping Angel Apolinar Elena Perez in the first round last November.
“Twenty wins is more than just a number,” Griffin said. “It’s proof of every sacrifice I’ve made. On Friday, August 21, I’m coming for No. 20, and if history says anything, there’s a good chance I won’t need to leave it to the judges.”
