Vacant Tri-State New York New Jersey Pennsylvania Featherweight Championship
- Main Event of a seven bout card at SugarHouse Casino in Philadelphia promoted by Hard Hitting Promotions.
- Bout billed as for the vacant Tri-State New York New Jersey Pennsylvania Tri-State Championship. The belt was awarded to Lebron after the scoring was announced in the ring.
- The bout was far closer than the scoring indicated. Both fighters exchanged power shots inside about evenly for the first six rounds. Corea was getting hit more and began holding to survive in round seven, which he barely survived. Corea came back with a strong showing in round eight, though he did not win the round.
- Roberto Corea was a last minute subs for Ernesto Garza III, who pulled out. Corea was scheduled to fight Marcos Forestal in an eight rounder in Milwaukee, Wisconsin the same night. That card was cancelled, making Corea ready and available to fight Luis Lebron.
