American Montana Love and Australian Steve Spark will fight for the World Boxing Association (WBA) super lightweight intercontinental belt this Saturday at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, Ohio.
The bout will be the main event of the Matchroom Boxing event in the United States and will put face to face two rivals who are looking to climb positions in the 140-pound class.
Love, 27, is a southpaw fighter with good technique and a respectable punch. The Cleveland native will have the opportunity to fight for this crown in front of his home crowd and is riding a seven-fight winning streak.
Spark is 26 years old and will be fighting in the United States for the first time. The Australian has made his career primarily in his native country and has one fight in Thailand, so coming to the world’s top market means a lot to him.
Love has 18 wins, no losses so far and one draw, while he has knocked out 9 opponents. Spark has 15 wins, 2 losses and 14 knockouts.
