In the Golden Boy Live! main event, airing on FOX Sports 1 and FOX Deportes, heavyweight star Antonio "The Magic Man" Tarver returns to action to face Mike Sheppard for the vacant NABA Heavyweight crown.

Also featured on the card will be unbeaten 2012 U.S. Olympian Dominic "Trouble" Breazeale, who takes on Nagy Aguilera in an eight-round televised bout. Owner of nearly 350 amateur wins, Camaguey, Cuba native Luis "El Mercedez" Ortiz (17-0, 14 KO's) is on the fast track to the top of the heavyweight division. Now making his home in Miami, the 34-year-old southpaw has won 10 fights in three rounds or less and he will be looking for another quick finish to entertain his local fans. "I'm happy to put this deal together between Golden Boy Promotions and Dade Promotions, said Juan Lazaro Jimenez, manager of Luis Ortiz. I am also excited about the possibilities that will see us lead Luis Ortiz to the world heavyweight championship." "I'm proud to be fighting for Golden Boy Promotions and Dade Promotions, and I'm going to give a great show on November 26, said Luis Ortiz. "I'll be looking for the knockout from the opening bell, and as excited as the fans will be, I'm even more excited to be fighting in and representing the United States, which has been my home for the past four years." A 1992 Olympian who represented Puerto Rico in the Barcelona Games, Alex Gonzales (20-8, 10 KO's) is a veteran competitor who can match Ortiz in world-class experience as both an amateur and a professional. Winner of two of his last four bouts, Gonzales has waited for an opportunity like this and plans on making the most of it when he steps in the ring against his unbeaten foe. Tarver vs. Sheppard, a 10-round bout for the vacant Interim NABA Heavyweight title, is presented by Golden Boy Promotions and sponsored by Corona and O'Reilly Auto Parts.

In the evening's 10-round co-main event, undefeated bantamweight Randy "El Matador" Caballero makes his Florida debut against local southpaw Jessy Cruz of Miami.  Cruz tops a roster of Miami-based talent featured on the Nov. 26 fight card. An intimidating force at 6-foot-6, Dominic Breazeale (7-0, 7 KO's) has taken out all comers in his path since turning pro after the 2012 London Olympics.  In his last fight on Sept. 12, the former quarterback showcased his skills with a third-round technical knockout over Jon Hill.  Now, the 28-year-old from Glendale, Calif. is ready to step things up on Nov. 26 against Nagy Aguilera. A native of Santo Domingo, who now calls New York City home, the 27-year-old Nagy Aguilera (18-7, 12 KO's) has a wealth of experience he plans on using on Nov. 26.  A veteran of fights against heavyweight stars Antonio Tarver, Samuel Peter, Chris Arreola and Tomasz Adamek, Aguilera has won three of his last four bouts, a hot streak he takes into the ring against Breazeale. A six-time Cuban National Champion and 2004 Cuban Olympic Gold Medalist, Odlanier Solis (20-1, 13 KO's) is one of the greatest boxers Cuba has ever produced.  With three consecutive wins since his 2011 challenge of WBC Heavyweight World Champion Vitali Klitschko that ended due to a knee injury, Solis is well on his way back to the top and looking forward to his first fight in his adopted state of Florida, residing in Miami, since 2010. Ten-year pro Kevin Johnson (29-3-1, 14 KO's) is a former heavyweight world title challenger who has won seven of nine bouts since extending Vitali Klitschko into the championship rounds during their 2009 fight.  Coming off of a knockout over Australia's Solomon Haumono in April, 2013, the 34-year-old from Neptune, N.J., is ready for his meeting with Solis. Adding to the undercard action, one of the light heavyweight division's emerging stars, 26-year-oldThomas Williams (14-0, 10 KO's) of Washington, D.C., looks to follow up his 2013 wins over Jason Smith, Kevin Engel and Otis Griffin with another big victory in a 10-round match against Yusef Mack(31-6-2, 17 KO's) of Philadelphia.
