In the second "Big Time Boxing USA" event, which is sponsored by Salita Promotions, 2016 Olympian Juan Carrillo of Colombia challenges seasoned fighter Quinton Rankin in a 10-round light heavyweight match to win his undefeated record.

Ergashev, who is eager to resume fighting in good condition, feels that doing a car commercial was a great fit for him because he is currently residing in "Motor City."  “It’s extra special to fight my next fight in Detroit which is not only the capital for boxing but is also the capital for cars. I am speeding towards another world title fight and can’t wait for March 28," said Ergashev.

Dmitriy Salita a professional boxer and world-title challenger is the founder of Salita Promotions. He is Ergashev's longtime promoter and claims the advertisement is a fitting prelude to his fighter's recovery from an injury and loss. 

“Detroit is the Automotive Capital of the United States and the timing of this commercial couldn’t be more perfect. Ergashev is a massive star at home and he will have many fans supporting him on March 28. With a strong performance, another world title fight and a rematch with Subriel Matias may be around the corner,” said Dmitriy Salita.

In a primary supporting fight, Mike Guy, a formidable opponent, will face back against IBF No. 2 super middleweight contender Vladimir Shishkin over ten rounds.
