Dignum-Dennis headlines a loaded fight card that will stream live and exclusively on ESPN+ at 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT. European bantamweight champion “Lightning” Lee McGregor will fight Diego Alberto Ruiz in the 10-round junior featherweight co-feature.Dignum (13-0-1, 7 KOs) won the vacant WBO European middleweight belt in November 2019 with a fifth-round TKO over Conrad Cummings and defended it less than four months later with a ninth-round stoppage against Alfredo Meli. He hopes to get back on the winning track following last April’s draw versus Russian veteran Andrey Sirotkin. Dennis (17-3, 3 KOs), from Chatham, Kent, has won a pair of fights since an October 2020 TKO loss to Sirotkin.
The 25-year-old McGregor (11-0, 9 KOs) had a pair of significant wins in 2021, knocking out Karim Guerfi in one round to win the European title and then defending it with an off-the-canvas stoppage victory over Vincent Legrand. Argentina native Ruiz (23-4, 12 KOs) is best known for his ninth-round knockout defeat to Michael Conlan in front of a sold-out Belfast crowd in August 2019. He is 2-1 since the Conlan fight.
