Jay Z’s Roc Nation Sports is finally set to put on its second boxing card.

The company promoted its first show, called “throne boxing,” on Jan. 17 at the Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York in the first of a three-fight time-buy deal it made with Fox Sports 1.

No. 2 will take place on April 17 (Fox Sports 1, 10 p.m. ET) at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut, Roc Nation Sports announced on Tuesday.

The card will be headlined by a 12-round cruiserweight bout between Russia’s Murat Gassiev (20-0, 13 KOs) and Felix Cora Jr. (25-6-2, 14 KOs) of Galveston, Texas.

In the scheduled eight-round co-feature, Washington, D.C., welterweight Dusty Hernandez-Harrison (25-0, 13 KOs), who won the main event on the January card, will face an opponent to be determined. The card will also feature super middleweight prospect Junior Younan (6-0, 5 KOs), of Brooklyn, New York, and Dominican junior welterweight prospect Wellington Romero (5-0-1, 3 KOs) in six-round bouts against opponents to be named.

Roc Nation Sports is close to announcing deals for a monthly series on Fox Sports 1 beyond its initial three-show start as well as a series of cards on BET.
