A two-time Olympian from China who trains out of Pahokee, Florida, Islam looks for his second victory of 2015 in his second fight in the U.S. The 31-year-old won the Bronze medal at the 2008 games and is undefeated since turning pro in 2012. His last seven bouts have ended inside the distance and he looks to keep the momentum going when he faces the 31-year-old Batista out of the Dominican Republic.

Born in Columbia but fighting out of Miami, Prescott is coming off of a stoppage over Kendry Galban in July. The 32-year-old owns a thrilling first round knockout victory over Amir Khan and hopes to put on a show for his adopted hometown when he takes on the 32-year-old Lacerda out of Santa Catarina, Brazil.
