The Marlins home ballpark will make history in a few weeks when it hosts Triller Fight Club’s next boxing card. The event is the first to be held at the park but, more importantly, it’s the first card ever to have a men’s and women’s undisputed title fight on the same card.

On the men’s side, unified lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez faces George Kambosos Jr. in a bout for Lopez’s title belts. On the women’s side, WBC and WBO super middleweight champion Franchon Crews Dezurn fights IBF and WBA champion Elin Cederroos for the unification of the titles in the division. The winner will become the first super middleweight champion, male or female, ever.

“This is truly a historic moment having both the male and female undisputed title fights on the same card,” said Peter Kahn, Chief Boxing Officer, Triller Fight Club in a statement. “We are excited to have Franchon and Elin join a night of boxing that already has one of the most anticipated fights of the year, López and Kambosos, along with a strong undercard that will appeal to true boxing fans.”
