All year long the WXC champions have been tested and strongest qualifiers from season 4 have risen to the top to challenge for the WXC gold and the shot of being named the top fighter in their respected weight class. This event is the only event you will have all WXC Championship Belts on the line, all in one day. Tickets for WXC 42 are on sale now and can be purchased at www.wxclive.com and from the Crystal Gardens box office. WXC 42 will air LIVE pay-per-view on www.watchwxc.com as always, the show will go live at 7:30pm with hosts Joey Russio and WXC President Jeff Pitock.

The feature fight is one for the books. You have the WXC Lightweight Champion Keith Bullock, coming of 3 solid wins, challenging the WXC Featherweight Champion Deven "Bad News" Brown, who was set to start making waves in the pro's, but put on hold because no call-out can go unanswered in Browns eyes. "This fight is shaping up to be the fan favorite," said, Michael Pedenelli, Matchmaker and Vice President of WXC. 

Other Champion bouts spectators will have the chance to see Friday night is Eric Madill 26-4 coming from Northern Michigan, vs. WXC Light Heavyweight Champion John Slayton 9-7 of Monroe, Michigan. Then you will have the WXC Welterweight Champion Joshua Pouget 10-4 of Newport, Michigan, defending his belt against  Nick Sondergeld 27-14 of Toledo, Ohio. Fans will also have the chance to see the WXC Cruiserweight Champion Josh Parisian, 8-3 of Howell, Michigan, defend his belt for the first time since his unbelievable come back from a horrific beating from John Kish, of Port Huron, Michigan, in November 2012 to become champion, Parisian will meet a familiar face from the 2011 Night of Champions, Andrew Morton, 5-2 of Westland, Michigan. Morton and Parisian went all 3 round with a back and forth war that ended leaving it up to the judges where Parisian claimed the win.

Moving on to the smaller weight class champions as you will have the Flyweight Championship, In October, Thomas Fudoli, 8-1 of Carleton, Michigan, lost his spot as WXC champion and his flawless record to Jesse Bazzi, 11-4 of Detroit, Michigan, making Bazzi the new WXC's Flyweight Champion. Bazzi accepted the re-match proposed by Fudoli as stating, "going into that fight with a head cold is what lost me the fight," and given the chance to prove that was the issue it wouldn't happen again! Bazzi in a statement says, "the outcome will be the same." Next, we have the WXC Bantamweight Championship winning the belt in October. Jordan Mcguire, 6-0, still carrying an undefeated record over a 2nd round finish with Mike Sindone, 9-4 of South Rockwood, Michigan, will be what some are calling his biggest test of his career as he is challenged by Michigan's Northern and WXC's newcomer Jake Lamb, 11-1, who is ecoed as being one of the Northern's best Bantamweights to date.
