There are a total of nine fights on the night beginning at 10:00 p.m. ET. The ring walk for the main event can be expected at approximately 11:15 p.m. ET.
Anderson has yet to lose in his short pro career, in fact, he has won every fight via KO. He is one of the young up-and-coming boxers in not only the heavyweight division, but the sport as a whole. He has an orthodox stance that packs a mean combo, which many of his previous opponents have had to find out the hard.
Martin is a live underdog here with +750 odds at DraftKings Sportsbook as he goes into enemy territory to square off against Anderson, who is in his hometown of Toledo. He is a veteran who you can not take lightly. He won in his last fight to rebound from a TKO loss.
