This week's edition of Friday Night Fights on ESPN will see Evgeny Gradovich square off against Billy Dib in the headlining fight.

The fight, which will take place at the MGM Grand at Foxwoods Resort in Mashantucket, Connecticut, will be for Billy Dib's IBF Featherweight title.

Billy "The Kid" Dib, who is 27 years of age, currently has a near perfect professional record of 35-1-0, with 21 of his wins coming via knockout. Dib's lone loss came against Steve Luevano back in October of 2008 - he has since reeled off a number of wins in a row, including wins over the likes of Juan Antonio Rodriguez, Eduardo Escobedo and Ricky Sismundo.

This will be the biggest fight of Evgeny Gradovich's career, as the 26 year-old boxer looks to improve on his perfect 15-0-0 record under the brightest of lights. Gradovich has recently tallied victories against Willie Villaneuva, Jose Angel Beranza and Francisco Leal. Eight of Gradovich's 15 wins have come via knockout, and he has boxed a total of 83 rounds over the course of his career.
