Griffin comes back on May 3. (Team Griffin)
Sacramento-based light heavyweight contender Otis "Triple O.G." Griffin is scheduled to challenge Cedric Agnew for a regional belt on May 3 in Dallas, Texas.
The 34-year-old Griffin (23-9-2, 9 KOs) is coming off a fiasco in Montreal, Canada, where he and local promoter Yvon Michel came to a heated disagreement regarding terms to fight Eleider Alvarez.
Now the WBC USNBC regional belt will be on the line, and a win for the former San Jose SaberCat against Chicago's Agnew (22-0, 13 KOs) would break a three-bout losing stretch.
"Triple O.G." will be a live underdog. While the 25-year-old Agnew is unbeaten, he is untested.
Despite victories over former world title challenger Rubin Williams and veteran Daniel Judah, both were on lengthy losing streaks. A closer look at Agnew's record reveals that only seven of his 22 opponents had winning records at the time of their respective meetings with him; out of those seven, only four had more than two total wins.
The news was first reported by Rich KO.
