John Riel Casimero takes on Paul Butler on Saturday April 23rd 2022 at M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool. The fight is a 12 round bout for the WBO bantamweight championship of the world, which means the weight limit will be 118 pounds. Casimero heads to Liverpool to defend his 118 lb belt against a ridiculous mandatory challenger. Paul Butler is not a bad fighter, has had a fine career, but has done nothing relevant since losing to Emmanuel Rodriguez four years ago, struggling through 10 rounds against Willibaldo Garcia 10 months ago to secure this shot. The undercard features returns for Sam Maxwell and Jazza Dickens, maybe Rocky Fielding, Peter and Joe McGrail, William Cawley, and debuts for Luke McCormack, Harry Kinsella, and Frankie Stringer.
