Six months after its formation, the GBA will crown it's first heavyweight champion when Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield go head to head in the main event.
In the chief support, highly ranked contender Greg Page takes on the dangerous but inconsistent Mike 'Hercules' Weaver.
Top ten contenders Tony 'TNT' Tucker and Pinklon 'Pinky' Thomas box each other in what should be a close fight.
John Tate and James 'Bonecrusher' Smith, both coming of a victory, box over eight rounds and the winless Gerrie Coetzee takes on Derek Amos.
In the opening bout, top amatuer Lennox Lewis makes his pro debut when he takes on Derk Banks over four rounds.
