This was supposed to happen on the Blandamura vs. Morrison card in Rome this past summer, but fell through due to an injured arm. Not only rescheduled, but given center-stage headlining its own card airing on DAZN. WBC International cruiserweight title at stake, first defense of Turchi (who is currently #15 in their rankings, while McCarthy will be looking to break into the world rankings for the first time, I believe, since just before he fought Matty Askin.
There's an outside chance that Fabio is as much a meathead as I suspect at times, which means that he could actually lose if he fails to blast McCarthy out early and gasses... If so I'll be mightily disappointing in the Italian prospect, who, based on his power alone, is poised to spice things up at cruiser in years to come.
