Former IBO super-featherweight champion Michael Magnesi returns to action for the first time since March as he takes on Colombian challenger Nike Theran.
Magnesi will be looking to put on an impressive display on home soil as he looks to build towards another potential world title shot.
The 28-year-old lost his IBO super-featherweight crown in September 2022 as Northern Ireland’s Anthony Cacace picked up a split-decision victory in Manchester.
The Lone Wolf was able to successfully bounce back from his first professional loss, getting the better Ayrton Osmar Gimenez over 12 rounds last March.
Magnesi will now set his sights on Theran who is preparing for his first professional outing away from South America.
The Colombian boasts an 18-0 record with 12 stoppages to his name. The 26-year-old will be looking to silence the crowd in Rome as he attempts to make a serious statement of intent in the super-featherweight division.
