Middleweight titlist Daniel Jacobs and Sergio Mora will meet again.Jacobs will defend his secondary 160-pound title against former junior middleweight titleholder Mora on Sept. 9 at the Santander Center in Reading, Pennsylvania, in the main event of a Premier Boxing Champions card on Spike (9 p.m. ET), PBC announced on Thursday, making the long-rumored fight official.Jacobs and Mora first met last August at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, in an unexpectedly wild fight. Both men got knocked down in the first round before the fight came to an abrupt conclusion in the second round. That is when Jacobs dropped Mora again and he broke his ankle going down and was unable to continue.Mora called for a rematch when he was healthy. Jacobs has repeatedly said he was not very interested in a second fight, but they will nonetheless do it again.This is business for me, but it is also more personal than any fight I have ever had, Jacobs said. Sergio has been using these antics online to get this rematch and he has gotten under my skin. There has been a lot of back-and-forth as far as peoples opinions as to who would have won the fight had he not gotten hurt. I am looking at this as an opportunity to clarify that I am the real champion. I want to shut his trap in prime time.While Jacobs (31-1, 28 KOs), 29, of Brooklyn, went on to defend his belt by knocking out neighborhood rival Peter Quillin in 75 seconds in December, The Latin Snake Mora (28-4-2, 9 KOs), 35, of East Los Angeles, has not fought since he broke his ankle against JJacobs.dddddddddddd.I dont think Jacobs wanted this rematch, but it was destined to happen and now he has to deal with it, Mora said. I thought the first fight was going my way. I knocked him down in the first round and was out-boxing him in the second round. He knows that I have enough power to hurt him. He has more to worry about going into this fight than in the first fight. Look at my resume, I have fought solid opposition. Jacobs doesnt have that type of resume.In the co-feature, Ghanas Richard Commey (24-0, 22 KOs), 29, and Robert Easter (17-0, 14 KOs), 25, of Toledo, Ohio, will meet for a vacant lightweight world title.

Easter was next in line thanks to his explosive performance on April 1, when he stole the show with a huge one-punch fifth-round knockout of former junior lightweight titlist Argenis Mendez on the undercard of pal Adrien Broners knockout of Ashley Theophane.Also on the Sept. 9 card, heavyweight Travis Kauffman (30-1, 22 KOs), 30, of Reading, will fight an opponent to be determined in a 10-round bout.
