Boxing: DeLoach to Fight Castillo in PBC on NBCSN Main Event

Premier Boxing Champions recently announced that its next venture on NBC Sports Network will be anchored by a junior middleweight clash between Justin DeLoach and Junior Castillo. The event will go down on June 25 at Scottish Rite Auditorium in San Antonio, Texas.

DeLoach (14-1. 8 KOs) has won four straight since suffering the only loss of his pro ledger. The Georgian last competed in March where he flattened Dillon Cook in the fourth and expects to have his hand raised in his first main event on a prime television network.

“I’m thrilled to be headlining on NBCSN and to once again perform in front of the great fans in San Antonio,” said DeLoach. “I’ve got a great deal of respect for Junior Castillo but I’m putting in the work with my new trainer Paul Williams and I plan on being victorious.”

Castillo (10-0, 9 KOs) is a power-punching Dominican, though his knockout streak came to a halt in April when he went the distance with Kyrone Davis. He’s excited to get back into the ring to continue his ascent up the 154-pound ladder.

“I know how tough DeLoach is, but I’m well prepared to stay undefeated on June 25,” said Castillo, a 2012 Olympian. “I'm an exciting fighter and boxing fans will have another chance to see me showcase my skills. I can't wait.”

Televised coverage begins at 11 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT with an eight-round junior welterweight skirmish between Ryan Karl (11-0, 8 KOs) and Luis Solis (14-6-4, 12 KOs). Darwin Price (12-0, 11 KOs) will oppose Semajay Thomas (7-0, 4 KOs) in an eight-round 140-pound clash as well.
