The organization itself announced the fight involving the veterans this Tuesday (29), through its social networks. It is worth noting that Moicano had two scheduled fights against the American, in March and September, however, as the latter was injured, the rematch fell through. Regarding the New Zealander, the YouTuber fighter has always made clear his interest in facing him, considering him one of the easiest fights in the lightweight division.
