The highly-anticipated bout will be a follow up to college football’s Heisman Trophy presentation.

Meanwhile, Lomachenko last fought in June, as he dominated and stopped Masayoshi Nakatani in just nine rounds.
The winner of this bout is likely to be rewarded with the chance to challenge for the IBF lightweight title.
In 2019, Commey defeated Isa Chaniev to claim the vacant IBF lightweight title, before successfully defending his title against Ray Beltran in the same year.
He, however, lost the title to American boxer Teofimo Lopez in December 2019 following a technical knockout.
