BoxingScene.com has been advised that IBF featherweight champion Evgeny Gradovich will face Jayson Velez on November 29th in Omaha, Neb. The battle of undefeated fighters will serve as the co-feature to Terrence Crawford's lightweight title defense against Raymundo Beltran.

Both fights will be televised by HBO.

The fight has extra significance in that Gradovich is promoted by Top Rank and Velez is co-promoted by Golden Boy Promotions and Cotto Promotions. Top Rank and Golden Boy hadn't worked together in years until recently announcing that Luis Abregu would face Sadam Ali underneath the Bernard Hopkins versus Sergey Kovalev showdown that takes place in Atlantic City in November and will also be televised on HBO.
