Monroe Jr. of Ithaca, New York has a record of 14-1 with six knockouts. He comes from a great lineage of boxing as his father Willie Monroe Sr. was a Middleweight for 15 years who compiled a record of 24-4 and his great uncle Willie “The Worm” Monroe was one of the great Middleweights of the 1970’s who was 40-10-1.
Monroe Jr. is carving out his own identity as he won his first ten fights with victories over Wilson Montero (1-0-1); Chris Aucoin (1-0-1); Troy Artis (2-0-1); Ibahiem King (7-1).
After suffering a controversial split decision loss to perennial spoiler Darnell Boone, Monroe has won four in a row with his latest win coming via third round stoppage over Toris Smith on September 7th in Biloxi, Mississippi.
Walker of Chicago, Illinois has a deceptive record of 19-19-3 with 12 knockouts and has fought a “Whose Who” of the Middleweight divisions.

Walker has been in the ring with former world title challengers David Lopez, Daniel Jacobs, Fernando Guerrero, Andy Lee. Walker also faced former world champion Ricardo Mayorga and undefeated Prospects Matt Korobov, DonYil Livingston, and Lennox Allen.
