Two of the most awkward and avoided super welterweights in the  world will face each other as Erislandy “The American Dream” Lara (23-2-2, 13 KOs) will defend his WBA super welterweight world championship against former world champion Yuri Foreman (34-2, 10 KOs) in a world title showdown that headlines Premier Boxing Champions on Spike on Friday, January 13 from Hialeah Park Racing and Casino in Miami.

Televised coverage begins at 9 pm ET/8 pm CT with former super middleweight world champion Anthony “The Dog” Dirrell (29-1-1, 23 KOs) returning to action against Norbert Nemesapati (24-4, 17 KOs) in a 10-round bout.

Lara versus Foreman may not jump off the page to some, but provides an interesting stylistic match-up as well tells us were both fighters are at the current moment.
