The PBC on Spike main event pits light heavyweight contender Edwin “La Bomba” Rodriguez (27-1, 18 KOs) against undefeated Michael Seals (19-0, 14 KOs) in a 10-round affair.
“I feel completely rejuvenated heading into this fight,” said Williams. “I’ve been able to get back to the things I’ve done in camp since early in my career, and I’m excited for November 13. I have seen my opponent, and I’m planning on picking him apart. I will be victorious when I leave the ring.”
“I’m feeling one-hundred percent and have had a great training camp,” said Savigne. “I’m working hard and come November 13; it’s going to be a dominant Humberto Savigne. I don’t want to make any predictions, but I’m coming for the victory.”
