Boxing 360 Signs Super
Bantamweight Leon Moore
Boxing 360 has announced the signing of WBC No. 3 rated
super bantamweight Leon “Hurry Up” Moore to an exclusive
promotional contract.
The 31-year-old southpaw Moore (27-2, 22 KOs), from Guyana,
is the reigning PABA and WBC CABOFE super bantamweight
champion, as well as the former NABA, Guyanese and CABOFE
bantamweight titlist.
Another Boxing 360 fighter is Guyana super middleweight
champion Lennox “2 Sharpe” Allen (12-0-1, 7 KOs) who
recently defeated Nick Brinson for the vacant New York State
title.
“We’re excited to sign a talented fighter like Moore,”
Boxing 360 Director of Boxing Bob Duffy said. “He’s a
world-class contender at super bantamweight and
bantamweight. We can’t wait to bring him to fight in the
United States and position him for a world title fight next
year against (WBC super bantamweight champion Toshiaki)
Nishioka or any of the world champions at 122 or 118
pounds.”
Moore captured the WBC CABOFE and NABA bantamweight belts in
September 2009, when he won a unanimous 12-round decision
against former 2-time world champion Maurico Pastrana. Last
January, Leon won a unanimous 12-round decision versus
Indonesia Boxing Association champion Marangin Marbun for
the vacant PABA crown. In his last fight (Nov. 16), Moore
won a 10-round decision against Breilor Teran in Guyana.
Other Boxing 360 fighters include USBA heavyweight champion
and IBF #15 rated Maurice “Sugar Moe” Harris, 2004 U.S.
Olympian Jason “Big Six” Estrada, Mike Mollo, Joshua “Juice”
Harris, Emad Ali, former world champion Alejandro “Naco”
Berrio, Angel “Toro” Hernandez, and “King” David Estrada.
