Both fighters have five KO’s in their respective careers.
Nichols, 36, is eight years younger than White.
The championship bout is scheduled for ten rounds which could be an advantage for Wyoming resident. Nine of his last ten fights have been scheduled for eight or more rounds, while Nichols has never fought more than six rounds.
