Tonight at 9 pm ET on FS1, Premier Boxing Champions returns with a light heavyweight main event from Florida, featuring prospect Ahmed Elbiali facing former champion Jean Pascal in a 10-round bout.
Elbiali (16-0, 13 KO) has looked good thus far as a pro, but this is a new test against the veteran Pascal (31-5-1, 18 KO). Pascal may be 2-3 in his last five, but those losses have come to Sergey Kovalev (twice) and Eleider Alvarez, both top fighters in the division. Elbiali is taking a sizable step up in competition here, and we’ll find out if he was ready or not.
In the co-feature, welterweights Bryant Perrella (14-1, 13 KO) and Alex Martin (13-2, 5 KO) meet in another 10-round fight. Perrella is coming off of a loss and hasn’t fought in over a year, so he’s trying to get back on track against Martin, who has lost two straight, both to Miguel Cruz.
