Southpaw McKart (54-10-1, 32 KOs) won the UBO
World title in October 2010 by stopping Mexican
Michi Munoz in seven rounds at his alma mater,
Monroe High School, in hometown Monroe, Michigan.
He last defended the title in April 2012 with a
thrilling twelve round majority decision over
another Mexican, Jose Medina, at the Huntington
Center in Toledo, Ohio, and has since been
prevented from defending his crown for various
reasons.

Most recently a February bout at the famous Joe
Louis Arena in Detroit was called off when McKart
suffered an injury in sparring, but he is now
reportedly back in full force and ready to rumble
on the eve of the big Floyd Mayweather vs. Saul
Alvarez fight in Las Vegas.
The show, which has been dubbed “Showdown For
Motown”, will also feature some of the area’s
most promising boxers, such as undefeated Light
Middleweight Kronk fighter Tony Harrison (14-0,
11 KOs) facing an opponent TBA, in one of the
featured undercard bouts.
Also on display will be upstarts Anthony Barnes
(1-0, 1 KO) at Super Middleweight, Welterweight
William McElroy (2-0), and Bantamweight Anthony
Gallerani (1-0).
