This event is promoted by NextGen Boxing, Bash Boxing, and BLK Prime. Doors
open at 4:30 pm CT with the first fight starting at 5:30 pm CT.
Khegai has a fan-friendly style and always comes forward with aggressive
pressure. His lone defeat is at the hands of two-time world champion, Stephen
Fulton (21-0, 8 KOs), a fight that went twelve full rounds. A victory
against Baez will get him right back into world title contention.
“Baez stands in the way of my goal to become a world champion,” said
Khegai. “He’s fought at the championship level and beating him will get me
one step closer to landing a big fight. I must win this fight to stay
relevant in the world title picture.”
Baez, known for his tremendous toughness, is coming into this fight with
his back against the wall. In his last outing, he challenged the monstrous
Emanuel Navarrete (36-1, 30 KOs) for his WBO world title, a fight where he
got caught with a solid body blow. With nothing to lose, Baez sees this
fight as a do-or-die situation.
“I must win this fight, and I’m going to do everything possible to come out
on top,” Baez stated. “Khegai is not invincible, he’s been beaten before. I
have the
experience needed to win this fight. Those tuning in will see an all-out
war, I’m going to make this a Mexican-style slugfest.”
Milton, recognized for his heavy hands, stands 6′ 4″. He trains out of Las
Vegas, Nevada, where he’s shared the ring with Tyson Fury, Luis Ortiz, Joy
Joyce, along with a bunch of other top heavyweights. In addition, Milton
has multiple knockouts that have gone viral on the internet.
“Five fights in one year because I had to! I wouldn’t want to end the year
any other way. Make sure to drop my name whenever they ask who got next.
Dreamland Milton from Tulsa Oklahoma, representing Black Wall St. on BLK
Prime.”
Calloway has never been stopped and all his wins have come by way of
knockout. Standing 6′ 3″, Calloway has the power and durability to give
Milton his stiffest test to date.
“Going into any fight, my goal is always to score a knockout, and that will
be the case when I step in the ring with Milton,” said Calloway. “I’m
excited to be
fighting on a great card, especially with Terence Crawford, who is the
pound-for-pound king right now.”
Nelson, a U.S. Army veteran and former member of the Army World Class
Athlete program, is a hometown hero and local fan favorite. He vows to come
out victorious with a spectacular performance.
“Fighting at home in Omaha is a blessing and the CHI Health Center is
always electrifying,” said Nelson. “It’s been two years since my last fight
but I’m more than ready to leave everything in the ring against Ballard,”
said Nelson. “Winning this fight will put me back in the rankings and in
line to fight for a title in the near future. I’ve been training with
Terence and the B&B team in Colorado Springs, so best believe I’ll be in
the best shape of my life.”
Ballard has faced stiff opposition in his last three fights and is ready
for the challenge that is in front of him. He feels he’s gained valuable
experience throughout his career that will help him win this fight.
“I’ve learned more from my losses than my wins and the experience I’ve
gained is what I believe will be the difference in this fight,” said
Ballard. “I’m coming into this fight in great shape, and I’ll be letting my
hands fly with bad intentions.”
