Dusty was supposed to have his first fight under the FILA brand on December 5, 2015, but after multiple opponents fell through including Canadian welterweight champion Steve Claggett (23–3–1, 16 KOs), the original opponent, his fight that was scheduled for HBO Latino was canceled at the last minute.
