Fringe super middleweight contender Derrick Webster will square off tonight against Frankie Filippone for a regional title belt.

The 10 round bout will take place at Grundy Arena in Bristol, Pennsylvania.

Webster (22-1, with 11 KOs) was victorious in his last bout on January 21, winning a 10 round unanimous decision over Thomas Awimbono. He has won his last three bouts since a one-sided loss to middleweight contender Arif Magomedov in July of 2015.

Webster, who resides in nearby Glassboro, N.J., is a southpaw and will likely utilize a six-inch height advantage over Filippone, a resident of Norfolk, Virginia.

Filippone (22-5-1, with 7 KOs) has won his last six bouts since a decision loss to Shawn Miller in August of 2015.

Unbeaten Mikkel LesPierre (15-0-1, with 7 KOs) will face Jerome Rodriguez (7-8-3, with 2 KOs) in a six round welterweight bout.

LesPierre has displayed more power in recent fights, winning his last three bouts by knockout. Rodriguez has lost his last five bouts.
