MMA veteran Clay Collard has made quite the name for himself in the boxing world, and Top Rank has taken notice.
Having pulled off yet another upset victory over an unbeaten prospect, the former UFC fighter is set to return to ESPN airwaves for a July 14th bout against Lowrant-T Nelson, per ESPN’s Steve Kim. That show is expected to be headlined by WBO junior lightweight champion Jamel Herring against Jonathan Oquendo.
Collard (7-2-3, 2 KOs) had a thrilling knockout win over Raymond Guajardo in February, then was put in against the undefeated David Kaminsky last month.
