Tonight at 9:00 pm EST on FS1, Premier Boxing Champions is back with the latest installment of its Tuesday night series, with power punching super middleweights Julius "The Chef" Jackson and Jose Uzcategui set for a 12-round main event from Cowboys Dance Hall in San Antonio.
Jackson (19-0, 15 KO) is one of the two boxing sons of the devastating puncher Julian "The Hawk" Jackson, and is considered the better fighter of the two. The 28-year-old Jackson has passed his tests thus far, but Uzcategui (23-1, 19 KO) is a new level for him, and this could be a very interesting fight. You may remember Uzcategui from an HBO bout against Matt Korobov in 2014, his lone pro loss.
In the co-feature, former lightweight titleholder Miguel Vazquez (35-4, 13 KO) returns to action against former super featherweight titleholder Argenis Mendez (22-3-1, 12 KO). That fight is scheduled for 10 rounds. Both fighters are coming off of wins.
Patrick L. Stumberg will be here as always for the live call. Join us tonight!
