After representing Haiti in the 2016 Olympics, Hitchins turned pro the following year. The 25-year-old has won seven fights via knockout and triumphed in his most recent bout in February, beating John Bauza via unanimous decision.
Zepeda turned pro in 2009 and has won 28 contests via knockout. In 2015, he suffered a dislocated shoulder when facing Englishman Terry Flanagan for the vacant WBO lightweight title and lost to Jose Ramirez in 2019 with the WBC super lightweight title on the line.
Following a seven-fight unbeaten streak, Zepeda again lost a bout for the WBC super lightweight belt, this time against Regis Prograis. He recovered in his previous outing, beating Neeraj Goyat in March.

McCaskill, a 2010 Golden Gloves winner, turned pro in 2015. Losing against Katie Taylor in 2017 for the WBA lightweight belt, McCaskill went on a seven-fight win streak, winning super lightweight gold. She beat Cecilia Braekhus to become undisputed welterweight champion.
In 2022, McCaskill lost against Chantelle Cameron to determine the undisputed super lightweight champion, dropping a few welterweight titles due to governing body rules in the process.
A 2014 World Championships silver medalist, Ryan turned pro in 2021. Since losing her fourth pro fight against Erica Farias, Ryan has gone on a three-fight win streak, beating Marie Houle for the WBO welterweight title in April.
