Cruz to face Mishiro in IBF lightweight eliminator

The card is set for Saturday, June 14th at The Theater at New York City's Madison Square Garden. In the previously announced main event, New York’s unbeaten champion Richardson Hitchins makes the first defense of his IBF junior welterweight title against Australia’s former world lightweight champion George Kambosos Jr. The undercard will feature Cuban lightweight Andy Cruz vs. Hironori Mishiro (17-1-1) in an IBF eliminator. Cruz is listed as 5-0, but Boxingtalk recognizes his record as 21-0 due to paid bouts in the World Series of Boxing. Also on the show will be a battle of undefeated heavyweights as Canadian champion Alexis Barriere (12-0) will face 6'6" southpaw Roney Hines (14-0-1).
