Corey Marksman has been forced to withdraw from his fight with Lucas Bahdi next week
Armando Casamonica has been drafted in to replace Corey Marksman in his bout with Lucas Bahdi - which is part of the undercard for Mike Tyson's fight against Jake Paul next week.
Bahdi gained recognition after knocking out Ashton Sylve in July, while Casamonica holds the title of Italian light-welterweight champion. "It's an immense honour to represent my family and our legacy on the biggest stage in boxing," he said about stepping in at short notice. Regarding the late change in opponent, Bahdi stated: "Undefeated fighters always fight hard to protect their records and I expect that Armando Casamonica will do that. But I'm also undefeated and will fight even harder than him. I can't wait to put on a show on November 15."
Paul has had 11 professional fights, winning 10, with his only defeat coming at the hands of Tommy Fury last year. The social media sensation has built up his record with wins over several ex-MMA fighters including Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva and Nate Diaz.
