Leo set for May 9th defense

Albuquerque’s own Angelo Leo returns to the ring May 9, defending his IBF Featherweight World Championship against top contender Ra’eese Aleem in Atlanta, Georgia.

Leo, who captured the title with a stunning knockout of Luis Alberto Lopez, now faces a dangerous and well-deserving mandatory challenger in Aleem. The bout is expected to be a highly competitive matchup, with both fighters looking to make a statement in the featherweight division.
