Mike SloanMar 09, 2017

Light heavyweight prospect Ahmed Elbiali will face off against Jackson Junior in the co-main event of Premier Boxing Champion’s next event on FS1. The card takes place on Tuesday, March 14, at the Fitzgerald’s Tunica Casino and Hotel in Tunica, Miss., and will be televised live on FS1 beginning at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.

Elbiali (14-0, 11 KOs) has chalked up a 3-0 record on PBC’s Toe-to-Toe Tuesdays cards already and he’s looking to continue his streak. The Egyptian hasn’t fought in over a year, however; he last climbed through the ropes in January 2016, when he dominated Andrew Hernandez over eight rounds to earn a unanimous decision.

Junior (20-8, 18 KOs) is a powerful Brazilian, but he’s been struggling as of late. He is 3-5 in his last eight and is coming off a third-round knockout loss to Denis Liebau in November.

Rounding out the PBC on FS1 card will be Jamontay Clark (10-0, 6 KOs) locking horns with Gaku Takahashi (15-6-1, 7 KOs) in an eight-round welterweight bout while Sergiy Derevyanchenko (9-0, 7 KOs) will square off against Kemahl Russell (10-0, 8 KOs) over 10 rounds at middleweight in the featured bout.
