Falcao-Farias is scheduled for ten rounds for the WBC Latino Super Middleweight title.

In the co-featured bout of the evening, rising middleweight star Connor Coyle meets veteran Martel Fidel Rios of La Pampa, Argentina over eight rounds for the ABF Continental Americas Championship.

Representing Derry, Northern Ireland, Coyle has a record of 14-0 with 6 wins by knockout. The charismatic 31-year-old is well-traveled as a pro, having fought in Ireland, Mexico and four different US states.

Coyle, who trains alongside Falcao in Florida under the tutelage of Florida Boxing Hall of Fame trainer Jim McLaughlin, captured the ABF belt in April with a first round knockout.

“We are pleased to have Yamaguchi and Connor back in the ring,” said their promoter Jody Caliguire of Fire Fist Boxing Promotions. “The Boston metropolitan area has a huge Irish and Brazilian population so the turnout should be great!”
