Lightweight prospect Thomas Mattice will square off against Isaac Cruz Gonzalez on Feb. 14, it was announced Wednesday morning.

The 10-round bout will take place at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and will headline a four-bout ‘ShoBox’ (Showtime) telecast.

The clash between Mattice and Cruz features once-beaten lightweights who could be a win or two away from securing a significant bout in a deep division.

Mattice (15-1-1, 11 knockouts), who resides in Cleveland, Ohio, notched his most impressive victory as a pro in his last bout on Sept. 20, stopping Michael Dutchover in round eight in Dutchover’s hometown of Midland, Texas. A punch opened a cut over Dutchover’s eye during the fight, a cut that a ringside physician deemed was too deep to continue, thus awarding Mattice with the knockout victory.
