Undefeated junior middleweight Ardreal Holmes Jnr tipped the scales at 153.4 pounds on Wednesday, setting up his homecoming against Edwine Junior Jimenez in a 10-round main event fight Thursday in Flint, Michigan.

The event, part of “Big Time Boxing USA,” will take place at Flint’s Dort Federal Event Center and be broadcast on DAZN.

In the co-feature, Joey Spencer, a 24-year-old from nearby Linden, Michigan, weighed in at 159.0 pounds for his middleweight fight against Miguel Angel Hernandez of Dallas. Spencer, 18-1 (11 KOs), is on a two-fight win streak since his stoppage loss to Jesus Ramos Jr. in 2023.

Hernandez, 26, is 9-0 (7 KOs) and will be fighting for the third time in 2024.
