Anthony Laureano returns to Resorts World Catskills, putting his ABO America’s Super Lightweight belt on the line, in his first title defense against, BRIAN “SWEET” JONES in a scheduled 8-round super lightweight bout. Laureano recently defeated, Dieumerci Nzau, in a thrilling bout on by sixth round TKO to win the ABO title. Jones is coming off of a massive win, where he knocked out undefeated prospect JULIAN SOSA (then 13-0-1) in Sosa’s hometown of Brooklyn, at the Barclays Center, on the undercard of the Kownacki-Arreola card. Jones (Clarksville, TX 15-10 9KO’s) has experience against some of the top guys in the division including Ivan Redkach, Thomas Dulorme and various undefeated prospects.

One month later, Okoth defeated highly touted welterweight prospect Ronnie “Teflon Ron” Austion, at Star Boxing’s “Rockin’ Fights” at The Paramount.
