Also in action on October 13 is super welterweight contender Phil Lo Greco (26-2, 14 KOs) who takes on Pablo "Sepulturero" Munguia (21-8, 12 KOs) in a 10-round affair and hard-hitting welterweight Wale "Lucky Boy" Omotoso (25-2, 21 KOs) who competes in a 10-round bout along with top welterweight prospect Javier Molina (15-1, 7KOs) in an eight round welterweight bout.
Rounding out the card is undefeated 20-year-old prospect Leo Hall (7-0, 6 KOs) out of Toledo, Ohio, who will fight in a six round light heavyweight contest against battle-tested veteran Ricardo Campillo (9-8-1, 7KOs) of Ciudad Obregon, Mexico.
Since turning professional in early 2013 following the London Olympic Games, the 27-year-old Hunter, fighting out of Las Vegas, NV, has continued to shine. With three victories in 2015, the last two by knockout he will be looking to march again into the win column when he takes on the 35-year-old Canadian Douglas.
Fighting out of Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, Douglas was also an outstanding amateur with victories over David Haye, Shane Cameron and Kertson Maxwell at the Amateur Commonwealth Games in Manchester, U.K. in 2002. Additionally he earned a bronze medal in the 2003 Pan American Games losing to gold medalist Odlanier Solis in Santo Domingo, D.R.
A native of Cairo, Egypt now residing in Miami, FL the 24-year-old Elbiali makes a quick return to the ring following a first round knockout of Fabiano Peno on Tuesday, September 8 at the debut of FS1's TOE-TO-TOE TUESDAYS at the Hollywood, Palladium. He will be opposed by 28-year-old Hilario.
A four-time amateur national Canadian champion, the Toronto-born Lo Greco turned pro in 2006 and quickly made a name for himself as one of the top fighters from Canada. The 31-year-old also fought in Germany, Italy and Hungary before making his U.S. debut in 2012 by defeating Hector Orozco in Atlantic City. He racked up a 25-0 record to begin his career and most recently was a late-sub in a fight that he lost to rising star Errol Spence Jr.
Born in Nigeria, but fighting out of Oxnard, Omotosois looking to bounce back after a hard fought defeat to undefeated Sammy Vasquez Jr. in June. His most recent victories were both knockouts as he defeated Abraham Alvarez and Eduardo Flores. The 30-year-old made his U.S. debut in 2011 and has racked up a 7-2 record stateside.
