Middleweight standout Daniel Jacobs and 154-pound former amateur star Erislandy Lara will co-headline an ESPN2-televised card from the Desert Diamond Casino in Tucson, Arizona on June 26, the Tohono O'odham Nation gaming resort announced on Tuesday.

Jacobs (16-0, 14 knockouts) and Lara (5-0, 3 KOs) are two of the busiest prospects in the sport. The Golden Boy Promotions card will be the fourth bout for Brooklyn's Jacobs this year; it will be the fifth bout for Cuba's Lara.

Their opponents and other fighters on the card have yet to be announced.
