Jordan White and Jose Matias Romero both made the junior lightweight limit for their ten-round fight at Live! Casino in Hanover, Maryland.
The fight will headline the next installment of ProBox TV, which begins at 4:30 p.m. on April 12.
White, 18-1 (12 KOs) and Matias, 29-3 (10 KOs), both came in at 129lbs.
White, a 27-year-old from Washington D.C., suffered his lone loss in 2017 to Adam Lopez and has since won 14 straight. Matias, meanwhile, has more blemishes on his record but is also more proven, having tested himself against world-class fighters like Robeisy Ramirez, Michel Rivera and Isaac Cruz.
In fact, in Matias White will meet perhaps the most battle-hardened opponent of his career so far. Still, White feels that his deep amateur background makes him Matias' equal in experience.
“Just because he’s been in there with a couple of guys with known names, it doesn’t scare me, it doesn’t make me feel like he’s more experienced than me. He has some exposure but I feel like I’m very experienced. I’m a nine-time national champion, over 170 fights, I fought almost all the styles,” said White.
In the co-main event, heavyweights Stephan Shaw and Raphael Akpejiori will face off in a ten-round bout. Shaw, 20-2 (15 KOs), of St. Louis came in at 238lbs, while Akpejiori, 18-1 (17 KOs), a native of Lagos, Nigeria now living in Miami, came in at 269.8lbs.
Shaw, 32, has won two straight since suffering back-to-back losses to Efe Ajagba and Joseph Goodall in 2023, while Akpejiori, 34, has won three straight since his second round stoppage to Arslanbek Makhmudov in July of 2023.
