Angelo Leo is laser-focused on achieving greatness in not one, but two weight divisions. The former WBO super bantamweight titleholder is now targeting the featherweight crown with even greater passion, driven by the desire to inspire his son and make him proud.
This week, Leo’s journey continues as he squares off against Eduardo Baez. This fight isn’t just another entry in Leo’s record; it represents a significant stride towards his lofty ambitions. The showdown is scheduled for this Wednesday evening at the WhiteSands ProBox Events Center in Plant City, Florida. Fans eager to witness this 10-round featherweight contest can stream it live on ProBox TV’s app and YouTube page, with the action kicking off at 8 p.m. ET/ 5 p.m. PT
Dominic Valle, fresh off a jaw-dropping knockout victory in the final tick of the clock against Carlos Rosario in June 2023, is set to take the stage again in ProBox TV’s Wednesday Night Fights. His opponent, Angel Vazquez Lupercio, waits in the wings for what promises to be a riveting super lightweight bout.
Valle, holding an immaculate record of 8-0 with 6 KOs, approaches this fight with a cool, almost dismissive attitude towards his previous fight’s dramatics. For him, his last-second victory was all in a day’s work, a product of relentless grind in the gym. This upcoming fight marks his debut in an eight-round format, but don’t expect him to dwell on past glories. He’s here to do one thing: win, irrespective of the clock.
Chris Algieri and Paulie Malignaggi, the voices of ProBox TV, might have been on the edge of their seats last time, but Valle is already looking ahead. He’s not chasing after a repeat of that last-second thrill; he’s after the win, plain and simple. “It’s just another day at the office,” Valle shared with BoxingScene, shrugging off any notion that his buzzer-beater knockout was anything out of the ordinary.
In the Valle bloodline, where he follows in the footsteps of his brother Marquis, being “great” is the only goal that matters. It’s not about the scorecards or the seconds ticking down; it’s about pushing till the very end, a philosophy he carries from the gym to the ring.
Dominic Valle is not one for many words, but his actions in the ring speak volumes. Even when victory seemed assured against Rosario, he wasn’t satisfied with just a win; he wanted the stoppage, a testament to a killer instinct that can’t be instilled but is inherent.
As 2024 rolls out its first fights, Valle stands on the cusp of what could be a defining year in his career. With his sights set firmly on victory against Vazquez Lupercio, he’s ready to once again show that for him, every fight is a step towards legacy, not just another highlight reel moment.
Yoel Angeloni, the Italian pugilist with a Cuban heart, is all set to clash with Michael Williams in the upcoming Wednesday Night Fights. This showdown takes place in the bustling city of Plant City, Florida, and fans can catch all the action live on ProBox TV.
At the tender age of 20, this welterweight sensation (boasting a record of 2-0, with 1 KO) leaped into the professional arena in 2022. His debut was nothing short of spectacular, unfolding on the undercard of the electrifying encounter between George Kambosos Jr and Devin Haney in Melbourne, Australia. Since then, Angeloni stepped into the ring once more in March 2023, notching wins against both Ken Aitken and Alexander Calixto.
Under the banner of DiBella Entertainment, Angeloni is itching to keep the momentum going post what he calls “the ultimate training camp.” Meanwhile, Williams, with a record of 2-1, 1 KO, is gearing up for his grand return to the ring after a hiatus since 2019.
Angeloni, a globe-trotter and a disciple of the sweet science, trains under Jorge Capetillo in Las Vegas. Despite his global adventures, his roots stretch from Rome to Havana. “I was practically weaned on Cuban soil,” Angeloni mused, reflecting on his extensive amateur career that includes a European championship and a stellar 140-2 record.
As he prepares for his U.S. debut, Angeloni’s aspirations soar beyond the ring. Dreaming of a headline fight in Rome, he envisions bringing a monumental bout to his homeland, much to the delight of his fellow Italians.
