“I am excited to fight in the United States for the first time on a Mayweather Promotions undercard, said Sonsona.” “It will be challenging, but I feel that I am the more experienced fighter and I am ready to bring home the victory.”

“I can’t say enough how rewarding is it to give these young hungry fighters a platform to establish themselves where they can ultimately be in position for opportunities,” said Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions. All of our guys on this card are coming in with perfect records, and have put on great performances thus far in their careers. I’m banking on their nights ending in similar fashion with each one of them coming out victorious. Fight night will undoubtedly be another blockbuster at Sam’s Town Live on October 27.”
