Quillin (34-1-1, 23 KOs) is seeking to climb back into the championship ranks and must go through Angulo before reaching them. The 36-year-old, who was born in Chicago and now lives in Brooklyn, won the middleweight world title against Hassan N'Dam in 2012. He successfully defended it three times. He is coming off a no-decision against former super middleweight champion Caleb Truax on April 13 in an FS1 PBC Fight Night main event. He had taken the first two rounds on all three judges' scorecards before the action was halted when a deep cut over Truax's right eye, caused by an accidental head butt, brought an end to the fight and resulted in a no-decision.

"It looks like the Caleb Truax fight wasn't meant to be, but this fight against Angulo is an important fight for me to establish myself in this division," said Quillin, who was originally scheduled to rematch Truax on August 31, before Truax withdrew due to an Achilles injury. "I'm ready to go 12 rounds right now. I just have to stay ready and stay in shape because we've had a great camp where we were able to build on certain things. This is what was meant to be and I'm going to make the most of it with a great performance on September 21."

Angulo (25-7, 21 KOs) enters the match against Quillin after a knockout victory over Evert Bravo on April 20. The 37-year-old veteran, who was born in Mexicali, Mexico and now lives in Coachella, California, has been in with some of the top boxers and sluggers during a career that has seen him in numerous exciting bouts against the likes of Canelo Alvarez and Erislandy Lara amongst others.

"I am looking forward to showing my fans the best Alfredo Angulo on September 21," said Angulo. "I have been working hard towards this opportunity. This is a chance to move closer to a world title and with hard work and the support of my team, I'm going to win that title."
