Tonight at 8 pm ET on ESPN, Joshua Greer Jr meets Mike Plania in the 10-round main event of Top Rank Boxing from the empty MGM Grand Conference Center — being called “The Bubble” for funsies and kicks — in Las Vegas.

Wil Esco will be on the RBR calls for the main event and the co-feature, with the co-feature opening the show.

Greer is looking to work his way to a title shot in the bantamweight division, but the 26-year-old from Chicago has struggled a bit in his last two bouts, though he did win both on the cards. Plania, a 23-year-old from the Philippines who’s been in Florida recently, is looking to break through himself, shooting for the upset.

The co-feature will see Giovanni Santillan, a 28-year-old untested welterweight from San Diego, look to make some waves against 34-year-old Antonio DeMarco, a former lightweight titleholder who is now fighting on at welterweight, past his prime but still with enough fire to expose Santillan if there is exposing to be done.

Join us tonight!
