Premier Boxing Champions on Tuesday announced that undefeated heavyweight prospect Dominic Breazeale will fight in the opening bout of the next PBC on NBC card, which takes place inside Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Ala., on Sept. 26. Breazeale will take on Fred Kassi on the undercard of the Deontay Wilder versus Jonathan Duhaupas heavyweight title fight.
Breazeale, a 2012 U.S. Olympian, is coming off a third-round knockout of former amateur star Yasmany Consuegra in June. Considered one of the best young heavyweights in the world, Breazeale (15-0, 14 KOs) is quickly ascending through the rankings and has knocked out his last five opponents.
