ANGELO LEO SPARKLES WITH KNOCKOUT WIN OVER MIKE PLANIA IN WNF MAIN-EVENT

Press Release: February 1, 2024 By ProBox TV -

Former super bantamweight world champion Angelo Leo needed just three rounds to finish Mike Plania in WNF’s main-event this evening in Plant City, Florida. The pair collided at featherweight in a ten round bout.


The opening minute drew little action from the first round. Plania took the center of the ring with Leo moving around the perimeter. Leo’s jab started to open up as the halfway point passed, throwing a combination to the body shortly after. Plania landed a good left hand in the final minute. The pair traded relatively evenly just ahead of the bell.


Leo hit Plania with a hook to the body at the start of round two. He missed by a large distance with an overhand right seconds later but landed a right to the body on the follow up. Leo was fainting to give Plania food for thought, slowing the fight down at this early stage to his rhythm. Leo ducked a combination from Plania after a minute with little else to report until Leo landed good body shots with less than 30 seconds on the clock. He landed another sharp combination to the head to close the round.


Leo appeared to make a breakthrough at the end of the second round. He landed a rapid combination to Plania’s body to open round three. There was a lot of caution from both men as they both held a high guard. Leo worked the body again after a minute, Plania responded with an uppercut that caught the glove. Leo planted his feet to land a much more intensive right to the body halfway through the round, followed by a left to the body and another right to the head. Leo landed a neck-snapping counterjab to approach the final minute. Plania responded with a good uppercut.


Leo worked his way inside to land a short-sharp left right combination to the head. Leo went after Plania with a right to the body, a left-right combination to the body quickly followed, sending Plania to the canvas holding his stomach at 0:36. However, to the disbelief of commentary team Paulie Malignaggi and Chris Algieri, the referee ruled the shot too low.


With Plania pinned to the canvas, the referee eventually called the fight off to give Leo the knockout victory due to a legal body shot. The ProBox TV replay showed a perfectly legal shot from Leo.


Leo picks up a second straight knockout victory on WNF, his record improving to 23-1 (11 KOs). Plania’s record moves to 29-4 (16 KOs), picking up a second career knockout loss in Florida.

Cano (34-8-1, 24 KOs), a two time world title challenger, comes off a third round knockout victory over Oscar Arenas Maya in his native Mexico having previously suffered a devastating second round knockout defeat to Danielito Zorrilla.

RADIVOJE KALAJDZIC: REGRETS ‘SLOPPY’ PERFORMANCES AGAINST BETERBIEV AND BROWNE AHEAD OF TRIP TO PLANT CITY

Press Release September 6, 2023 By ProBox TV - 


‘Hot Rod’ Radivoje Kalajdzic (27-2 19 KOs) makes his debut on this week’s edition of Wednesday Night Fights in Plant City, his first appearance of the year as he faces Englishman Mickey Ellison (14-4 5 KOs) over 10 rounds. The two will meet at Light heavyweight as the headline of the evening.


Born in old Yugoslavia, Kalajdzic came to the U.S. when he was 7 years old due to the Bosnian War, settling in St. Petersburg, Florida where he found his love for the sport. “I went to the gym and I fell in love with it” ‘Hot Rod’ declared in an exclusive interview with Probox TV when asked about the influence of boxing in his youth. “My Dad loved watching Mike Tyson, he’s one of my favourite fighters. I grew up watching him.”


Now with over 12 years experience as a professional and high knockout ratio, ‘Hot Rod’ is acquainted with being in the spotlight, fighting on big events over the course of his career. From receiving a controversial split decision against Marcus Browne, to challenging Artur Beterbiev for the IBF World Title, Kalajdzic has earned his stripes and respect as a serious contender through his ascendance in the division.


Despite reaching world level competition, Kalajdzic critiqued himself on his past performances ahead of his showdown this week. “I’m not the same fighter that fought Marcus Browne and [Artur] Beterbiev” affirmed ‘Hot Rod’ “Those fights were sloppy, I was just swinging, you’ll see a whole new ‘Rod', picking my shots, staying calm, and not being wild”


Giving his prediction ahead of time, Kalajdzic concisely confirmed for his Florida fans “Knockout. He comes forward. I come forward. It’s a 10 round fight, a long fight. Someone’s getting knocked out”.


His opponent responded in a similar manner when asked what we should expect ahead of his bout with ‘Hot Rod’; “Blistering” Ellison added “Coming away from home, it gives you that bit of extra spite. I’m not coming to play around, I’m coming here to win”


As the date approaches for the midweek action, one can only expect fireworks as two hungry fighters clash for recognition and ascendancy.
