NABO Super Lightweight Championship fight November 3, at Bally’s Casino Ballroom in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

In a crossroads fight in the 140 pound division, Duva Boxing will pit two highly regarded super lightweight prospects when Kendall Holt (20-1, 12 KO’s) squares off against unbeaten Isaac Hlatshwayo (20-0, 9 KO’s) for the vacant NABO Super Lightweight Championship on Friday night, November 3, at Bally’s Casino Ballroom in Atlantic City, New Jersey and televised live on ShoBox: The New Generation at 11 PM/ET (delayed on the west coast). Gordon Hall, executive producer of ShoBox: The New Generation said, “This fight really is another great example of what ShoBox is all about – two talented young fighters in their biggest fight to date. ShoBox is about showcasing young talent, and seeing them develop. We had Kendall Holt in his toughest fight to date against David Diaz last year, saw him rise to the occasion with a victory, and again he faces a stern test in the undefeated Isaac Hlatshwayo. The winner should become a force in the super lightweight division.” "We are very excited to bring boxing back to our beautiful ballroom at Bally's AC with Duva Boxing and expect a great event," said Ken Condon, president of Bally’s Atlantic City. Tickets are priced at $75 and $50, and are available at the Bally’s box office, or by calling Duva Boxing 973-237-0999, Ticketmaster at 800-736-1420 or Bally's Park Place at 609-340-2000.

Interesting fight, Hlatshwayo moving up shouldn't bother him, dude was massive at 135. Very solid guy from what I've seen of him.

Holt's chinny but he's got a lot of physical talent, fast pretty good power.
