PBC’s Boxing Day broadcast on FOX will see interim WBA super middleweight champion David Morrell Jr. take on veteran Mike Gavronski in the main event. In addition, middleweight slugger James Kirkland continues his comeback tour against Juan Macias Montiel and 19-year-old welterweight prospect Jesus Alejandro Romero opens the show against Naim Nelson.
Cuba’s Morrell (3-0, 2 KO) entered the professional ranks with quite a bit of hype behind him, resulting in a successful “world title fight” against unknown Lennox Allen in August. The 22-year-old faces a more seasoned foe in Gavronski (26-3-1, 16 KO), whose three pro losses came against Tureano Johnson (understandable), Dashon Johnson (worrying), and Jesse Hart (understandable).
LOS ANGELES (December 15, 2020) – Interim WBA Super Middleweight Champion David O. Morrell Jr. will face Mike Gavronski in the 12-round main event of FOX PBC Fight Night and on FOX Deportes Saturday, December 26 from Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles.
The broadcast begins at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT and will feature the return of renowned knockout artist James Kirkland dueling hard-hitting Juan Macias Montiel in the 10-round middleweight co-main event while unbeaten young rising star Jesus Ramos battles Naim Nelson in a 10-round super lightweight bout that will kick off the broadcast.
The event will be promoted by TGB Promotions and will take place without fans in attendance at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall, an AEG venue, in downtown Los Angeles.
