Boxing and MMA will be featured on the undercard for the exhibition fight between Ryan Garcia and Japanese kickboxer Rukiya Anpo, which will take place on December 30 in Japan(FANMIO PPV).
On Sunday, the undercard was announced at a press conference in Japan.
The lineup of boxing exhibition showdowns will include sensational Floyd Mayweather protégé Curmel Moton (6-0, 5 KOs) facing hard-hitting Filipino Albert Pagara (35-1, 24 KOs) in eight rounds of junior welterweight action.
