Former middleweight title contender Yoel Romero is nearing a deal for his next fight with a showdown against Uriah Hall expected on Aug. 22.
Both fighters have verbally agreed to the matchup according to sources speaking to MMA Fighting, although no contracts have been issued at this time. News of the fight was first reported by ESPN.
Known as one of the most dangerous middleweights in the sport, Romero will look to bounce back from three straight losses after battling to razor-close decisions to Robert Whittaker, Paulo Costa and Israel Adesanya in consecutive fights.
