Albuquerque native Angelo Leo is scheduled to make the first defense of his World Boxing Organization super bantamweight (122-pound) title against Philadelphia’s Stephen Fulton on Jan. 23 in Uncasville, Connecticut.
The Leo-Fulton matchup twice has been delayed by COVID-19. The two were to have met for the then-vacant title on Aug. 1, but Fulton (18-0, eight KOs) tested positive for the virus. Leo (20-0, nine KOs) defeated replacement opponent Tramaine Williams by unanimous decision for the title.
Leo-Fulton then was scheduled for Dec. 19 but was postponed because Leo tested positive. Leo, who lives and trains in Las Vegas, Nevada, has said he has experienced only mild symptoms.
