Rajon Chance and Yan Carlos Perez came in at the exact same weight Friday ahead of their junior featherweight fight on Saturday night.

Chance, 8-1-1 (6 KOs), of East Orange, New Jersey, and Perez, 6-0 (4 KOs), of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, both weighed in at 121.4lbs for their 10-round bout at the Westchester County Center in White Plains, New York.

The 24-year-old Chance, the older brother of Top Rank prospect Emmanuel Chance, will be making his first ring appearance since suffering his first defeat 14 months ago, when he lost a split decision to Travon Lawson. Chance had originally been scheduled to return to the ring in April in his hometown before that card was canceled.

"I'm excited for this fight, and I'm very happy to be back under the bright lights," said Chance at Monday’s press conference. “I like the boxer-versus-puncher theme. ... There's only one way to find out who can really punch, so I can't wait until Saturday night.”

Perez, 28, has been more active of late, scoring a first-round stoppage of former strawweight titleholder Merlito Sabillo just a month ago.

Star Boxing promoter Joe DeGuardia says he intentionally matched the fights on this card competitively.

“We’ve got 50-50 matchups like Chance versus Perez and O’Rourke versus Sylla, and local battles that make this card unique – Burke versus Maietta is one of those gritty, Yonkers-versus-Bronx, pride-on-the-line clashes you rarely see these days,” said DeGuardia. “These are real fights, not padded records, and that’s what boxing needs.”
