The son of a former world champion, Gonzalez introduced himself to the U.S. market with a competitive performance against undefeated world champion Carl Frampton in July in a fight that saw Gonzalez put Frampton on the canvas twice. Prior to that, the 22-year-old had won three-straight fights. Since turning pro at 17-years-old, the Mexican-born fighter owns victories over Hanzel Martinez, Jose Cayetano and Javier Franco.
Fighting out of Alpes-de-Haut-Provence, France, Guerfi fights for the first time in the U.S. on November 10 having previously fought in France, England, Belgium, Panama, Luxembourg and Argentina throughout his career. The 28-year-old won a European title by defeating Stephane Jamoye in 2013 and enters this bout on a two-fight win streak having beat Oscar Trujillo and Arnoldo Solano.
