Former IBF heavyweight champion Charles Martin will square off against Daniel Martz in a ten-round bout as part of FS1 PBC Fight Night action on Saturday, July 13th from The Armory in Minneapolis. The FS1 broadcast is headlined by welterweight contender and Minneapolis-native Jamal "Shango" James battling former title holder Antonio DeMarco and also features a heavyweight clash between Robert "The Nordic Nightmare" Helenius and Gerald "El Gallo Negro" Washington. Born in St. Louis but now fighting and training out of Southern California, Martin (26-2-1, 23 KOs) showed heavy hands in racking up 20 knockouts in 23 fights before he captured a heavyweight title with a victory over Vyacheslav Glazkov in January 2016. The 33-year-old has won three of his last four fights, most recently winning by DQ against Gregory Corbin in March on FS1. He will face West Virginia's Martz (18-6-1, 15 KOs), who has scored back-to-back knockout victories since losing to Luis Ortiz on FS1 in December 2017.
