Not much to get excited about

UNBEATEN Puerto Rican starlet

Christophe­r Diaz gets a step-up of sorts when he takes on Austin, Texas’ Casey Ramos

in a superfeath­erweight co-feature. Despite losing his unbeaten record last year via a technical decision loss to Andy Vences, Ramos, 28, bounced back with a hardfought victory over gatekeeper, Miguel Beltran Jnr in April. For 23-year-old Diaz, this isthe first time he enters a bout scheduled for 10 and he can win on points. Heavyweigh­t contender Bryant Jennings - now trained by John David Jackson - takes on the limited Don Hayneswort­h

in a scheduled eight-rounder. Philadelph­ia’s Jennings, who took a break from the game after losing back-to-back fights with Wladimir Klitschko and Luis Ortiz in 2015 - can take his record 21-2 (12) via a stoppage success. Also on the bill, leading world featherwei­ght prospects, Michael Conlan

of Belfast, and Newark’s

Shakur Stevenson,

look certain to triumph.
