The undercard has been announced for the Friday, June 21, night of ESPN Friday Night Fights boxing, presented by Seconds Out Promotions and Warriors Boxing, at the Minneapolis Convention Center.

 

A total of eight big fights are scheduled in support of the 12-round main event featuring Cuba's IBF #2-rated Rances "Kid Blast" Barthelemy (18-0, 11 KO) taking on Thailand's IBF #5-rated Fahsai "Mountain Boy" Sakkreerin (39-3-1, 21 KO) and the explosive, 10-round middleweight co-main between local hero "Golden" Caleb Truax (21-1-1, 12 KO) of Osseo, Minnesota, and Chicago's Don "Da Bomb" George (24-3-2, 21 KO).

An eight-round crosstown battle will highlight the night's undercard, as St Paul's Jeremy "Lights Out" McLaurin (10-5, 5 KOs) will face St Paul's Tony "2Sharp" Lee (7-1, 3 KOs) for the vacant Minnesota State Lightweight Championship.
