A brutal body shot put Plania to the floor. Leo has made a solid impression since his return to the ring, after an almost two-year hiatus. The former World Champion is now eyeing another title shot, but up first is a fight in April with Pro Box.
“They got really big plans for me coming this year. So, we are excited, you know when I get passed this fight here in April, I should be fighting for a title eliminator, and then once we win that title eliminator, there comes that title shot,” said Angelo Leo.
