Undefeated Capitol Heights, MD bantamweight Antonio "Another" Russell returns to action in a scheduled 10-round contest against former world champion Juan Carlos "Baby Pacquiao" Payano of Miami, FL by way of La Vega, Dominican Republic. The bout will be held at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, CT, and will kick off a Showtime telecast.
Russell (17-0, 12 KO's) last fought on February 8th and won by six-round disqualification over Jesus Martinez in Allentown, PA. Russell will compete with a heavy heart because of the recent passing of his younger, non-boxing brother known as Bussa.
Payano (21-4, nine KO's) will be trying to break a two-bout losing streak. Payano lost by 12-round unanimous decision to Daniel Roman on September 26th at Mohegan Sun. Payano held the WBA Bantamweight title from 2014-2016.
