Carlos Adames makes his Zuffa debut

Adames enters the contest as the WBC middleweight champion, but this appearance takes place above the middleweight limit.

The agreed 165-pound limit is five pounds above middleweight. That matters for Warburton: he will face a reigning world champion, but he cannot win the title on the night.

Gerome Warburton: the Welsh challenger

Warburton, from Colwyn Bay, takes the opposing corner in the main event. Although no world title is available, the contest puts the Welsh boxer in with a reigning champion on a card being shown in Britain, Ireland and North America.
