Acosta, who was set to fight on the past Thompson Boxing card last June, saw unforeseen circumstances have his fight canceled at the last minute. That turned into a blessing in disguise as Acosta will now headline this event and doing so at a new 130 lbs. weight class, where he feels more comfortable at.

“I was heartbroken to not fight last month, but I told myself everything happens for a reason, I got to be a part of the broadcast team on that fight card, and now I am the main event,” said Acosta. “I want to thank Thompson Boxing for believing in me. I’m expecting a grueling, tough test, and I’m ready to show everyone that I can be a world champion in this weight class. With a few more good performances, I believe I’ll be in the mix against anyone.”

In the 8-round middleweight co-feature, Richard “Cool Breeze” Brewart Jr. (12-0, 4 KO), of Rancho Cucamonga, California, will face Ramon “Niño de Oro” Ayala (25-6, 13 KOs) of Mexico City, Mexico.

“I am glad to be back, and I am ready to put the division on notice,” stated Brewart Jr. “I have greatly improved since I last fought, and fans can expect a spectacular victory. Fighting close to home is exciting because all my family, friends and fans can watch it live.”
