The boxers participating in the sparring session will be “Fight Night Club” series fighters Luis Ramos Jr., Charles Huerta, Ronny Rios and David Rodela.
After the meet-and-greet, Mosley and Ortiz will be escorted to the starting line to get an up-close-and-personal taste of NHRA’s Nitromethane-powered, 7,000-horsepower Funny Cars and Top Fuel dragsters.
The event is brought to you by Golden Boy Promotions and Quaker State and is being hosted by NHRA and The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
