LAKELAND, FL. (Maio 26, 2016) – A battle between exciting welterweights Phil Lo Greco (27-2, 15 KOs) e Joseph Elegele (15-2, 11 KOs) will serve as the 10-round main event of Premier Boxe dos Campeões: A próxima rodada em Bounce TV e BounceTV.com Domingo, Junho 12 from The Lakeland Center in Lakeland, FL.

“I don’t know much about Elegele but I will not take him lightly,” said Lo Greco. “I am always in the gym. Gosto de luta. Isto é o que é tudo sobre, fighting on television and making a name for yourself. A win here will get me one step closer to the bigger fights.”
“People should watch me, because after this fight, I am ready to show the world that I am ready for the big fights,” said Elegele. “This win will put me towards the top and in a position to fight top fighters. This is the best I have felt in my whole career. Lo Greco is a game fighter. This is my hometown and I will have a lot of people coming out to support me and I can’t wait.”
“A win here will get me in the mix with the top contenders,” said Lovett. “I expect an entertaining fight and I am ready to go. Training camp is always good and I will be in the best shape possible on June 12. I helped Edwin Rodriguez prepare for his fight against Baker so I know him well. I am at the stage to step up to the next level”
“I’m excited about this opportunity to take on a fighter like Steve Lovett,” said Baker. “He’s highly regarded but I know that I have the skills and experience to beat him. I’m leaving it all in the ring. A win here puts me in position to get big fights so I plan on being impressive.”

The last show at Lakeland was action packed and June 12 will be no different.”
Um campeão canadense de amador nacional quatro vezes, o Toronto-nascido Lo Greco se tornou profissional em 2006 e rapidamente fez um nome para si mesmo como um dos melhores lutadores do Canadá. The veteran fighter has also fought in Germany, Itália e Hungria antes de fazer sua U.S. estréia em 2012 ao derrotar Hector Orozco em Atlantic City. Ele acumulou uma 25-0 record to begin his career and his lone defeats have come to top welterweights Shawn Porter and Errol Spence Jr. Em sua última luta, Lo Greco stopped Pablo Munguia in the fifth-round.
After piling up an amateur record of 69-8, Elegele turned pro in 2009 and reeled off 12 victories to start his career. One of nine siblings, Elegele worked as a sparring partner for Floyd Mayweather in 2013 and has also spent time in the training camps of Adrien Broner and fellow New Haven, FL native Andre Berto, who he has known since he was 12-years-old. He owns victories over Manuel Aguilar, Angel Hernandez and Lanard Lane and most recently stopped Alex De Jesus in the sixth-round of their Bounce TV clash in January.
Born in Australia but now training in Houston with Ronnie Shields, Lovett olha para aproveitar o impulso que ele ganhou em 2015 with four knockouts in his five wins. The New South Wales-native has taken down veterans Kevin Engel and Samuel Miller in his last two fights as he heads into his toughest challenge in Baker.
A once-beaten fighter who turned pro in 2008, Baker enters this fight having four of his last five opponents inside the distance. The Baytown, TX native took home victories over Anthony Greeley and Sergio Cordoba in 2014 and kicked off 2015 by knocking out highly regarded Umberto Savigne. Agora, Baker looks to bounce back from a defeat to Edwin Rodriguez when he enters the ring on June 12.
