Undefeated Bell (27-0, 9 KOs) will be up against Keith Hunter (16-2, 10 KOs) as he looks to impress in front of his hometown faithful. At stake in this matchup will be the IBF International Light title as well as the North American Boxing Association Lightweight title, both titles currently vacant.
