Hill was coming off a 14-month layoff because of a torn Achilles, which forced him to relinquish the 205-pound championship last July. Hill was knocked out in the first round against Alex Pereira in their title fight last weekend in the first round.
Roundtree is on a five fight win streak and four of his wins are from KO’s. He’s currently the 8th rank light heavyweight in the world and Hill is currently ranked 3rd.
