Tabiti, a former cruiserweight contender, etched his mark in 2017 by outpointing Steve Cunningham, followed by a decisive stoppage of Lateef Kayode in 2018. Despite his aspirations for a vacant title in 2019, his journey was halted by a knockout blow from Yuniel Dorticos. Transitioning to the heavyweight division in 2022, the 34-year-old, originally from Chicago and now based in Las Vegas, has amassed a record of 20-2, with 16 knockouts, notably including a recent loss to Justis Huni. Wright, aged 37 and hailing from Evanston, Illinois, embarked on a similar path, moving up from cruiserweight to heavyweight. His notable encounters in the 200-pound division include knockout defeats against Rakhim Chakhkiev in 2015 and Beibut Shumenov in 2016. Enduring further setbacks, including a swift 70-second loss to Arslanbek Makhmudov last October, Wright's record stands at 20-5-1, with 17 knockouts. The event, hosted at the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, boasts a lineup featuring familiar names from the City of Brotherly Love, such as Hank Lundy, Jesse Hart, and Joey Dawejko. However, it remains uncertain which of them will grace the pay-per-view stage.
