Upper Marlboro, MD welterweight Mykal "The Professor" Fox will vie for his first world title when he takes on Gabriel Maestre of Barcelona, Venezuela on Saturday, August 7th at the Minneapolis Armory in Minneapolis, MN. The co-feature bout will be part of a tripleheader shown on Fox beginning at 8 PM ET.
Fox (22-2, five KO's) takes this bout on relatively short notice as he is replacing Cody Crowley who had to withdraw from the contest due to a positive COVID-19 test. Fox last fought almost one year to the day from this contest, losing a 10-round unanimous decision to Lucas Santamaria on August 8th, 2020 in Los Angeles, CA.
Maestre (3-0, three KO's) competed for Venezuela in the 2012 and 2016 Olympics. He has fought all three of his bouts in Colombia, including a first-round knockout of Daniel Vega Cota on December 17th in Puerto Colombia. Maestre won a minor title (WBA Fedebol Super Welterweight title) in his pro debut, knocking out an opponent who was 20-0 and the three opponents he has knocked out had a combined won-loss record of 63-9-2.
