Mike SloanJun 10, 2016

Premier Boxing Champions will have a busy day on June 18, when the promotion will have two different telecasts live from the UIC Pavilion in Chicago.

After the ballyhooed PBC on NBC tripleheader anchored by Andrzej Fonfara taking on Joe Smith Jr., the action will switch over to NBCSN for a clash of unbeaten middleweights, as Hugo Centeno Jr. (24-0, 12 KOs) will fight Maciej Sulecki (22-0, 8 KOs). Their clash will be a 10-round affair and will be joined by more undercard battles depending on which fights fit into the primetime broadcast on NBC, according to officials.

The rest of the undercard action will see as unbeaten welterweight Alex Martin (12-0, 5 KOs) opposing Juan Carlos Abreu (19-2-1, 18 KOs) in an eight-round bout; Jose Quezada (10-0, 6 KOs) will face Cameron Krael (8-10-2, 1 KO) in a six-round lightweight affair; and Ramiro Carrillo (10-0, 7 KOs) enters the ring in an eight-round super lightweight bout against an opponent to be named.

Also slated for the main card is Erickson Lubin versus Daniel Sandoval in a junior middleweight encounter.
