According to OddsShark, Davis is a huge -3500 favorite, while Fonseca is a +1200 underdog. They will face each other in the opening fight of the night.

The second fight of the night is for the WBA light heavyweight championship. The battle pits Nathan Cleverly against WBC super-middleweight champion Badou Jack. Cleverly is a +325 underdog, while Jack is a -450 favorite.
