Roy Jones Jr. vs Anthony Pettis, Jose Aldo vs. Jeremy Stephens and more: How many fights has Jorge Masvidal's Gamebred Boxing 4 announced?

The fight card for Jorge Masvidal's Gamebred Boxing 4 is beginning to take shape. The No.11-ranked welterweight announced several fights during his latest appearance on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani.

The event will take place on April 1st at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. It will be headlined by an eight-round bout between former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis and boxing Hall of Famer Roy Jones Jr.

Jones Jr. is a four-division boxing champion, however, he is now 54 years old and has not competed professionally since 2018. Pettis, who is currently signed to the PFL, will be making his boxing debut after struggling to a 1-4 record in his past five mixed martial arts fights.

The co-main event on the card will feature Jose Aldo and Jeremy Stephens. The pair previously met in the octagon back in 2018 with Aldo picking up a first-round TKO victory in a featherweight bout. The co-main event, along with every non-main event fight on the card, will be a six-round bout.

Aldo recently retired from mixed martial arts and was the first fighter in 2023 to be named to the UFC Hall of Fame. Stephens is currently signed to PFL, however, he has just one win in his last nine mixed martial arts fights.

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Vitor Belfort will face Jacare Souza in another rematch of a UFC bout. Souza picked up a first-round knockout TKO victory over Belfort in a middleweight bout at UFC 198.

Pearl Gonzalez will face Gina Mazany in another matchup between the two former UFC fighters. Meanwhile, Paul Daley and Anthony Taylor will also face off. Each fight on the card will be a professional bout.
