Before turning professional in 2022, 28-year-old
Hebert Conceicao won a middleweight gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and took bronze in the 2019 World Amateur
Championships.
In 10 professional fights, Conceicao has already beaten two prominent Brazilian countrymen: the 2012 London Olympic-medal-winning brothers, Esquiva and Yamaguchi Falcao.
In June 2024, in just his sixth fight, Conceicao won a unanimous 10-round decision over younger brother and Silver Medalist Esquiva and in September of last year, repeated the feat against older
brother and Bronze Medalist Yamaguchi to win the Brazilian (CNB) and WBO Latino Super Middleweight Championships.
Conceicao was last seen in December of last year winning the WBO Latino Super Middleweight Championship via a nearly flawless 10-round unanimous decision over veteran Elias Espadas at the War
Memorial Auditorium in Fort Lauderdale and live on ProBoxTV.
After turning professional in 2017, the 34-year-old Johan
Gonzalez won his first 22 fights by knockout. In March
2025, he won a 10-round split decision over former Unified World Super Welterweight Champion Jarrett Hurd.
Gonzalez has made two previous appearances on ProBoxTV. In August 2023, he stopped Ricardo Ruben Villalbain five rounds, and then in November of that year, he scored a majority 10-round decision over
then 16-1-2 Guido Schramm. Both fights were held at the Whitesands Events Center in Plant City, Florida.
In the 10-round chief supporting
bout, super featherweight
William Foster III (19-3, 11 KOs) of New Haven, Connecticut, will face Joshafat Ortiz (13-3, 6 KOs) of Reading, Pennsylvania.
Opening the televised action will be a six-round super lightweight battle between Gabriel Gerena (8-1, 6
KOs) of Piscataway, New Jersey, and Rani
Jalomo (7-0-1, 4 KOs) of Chicago, Illinois, plus a
six-round bantamweight tilt between Emmanuel
Chance (3-0, 1 KO) of East Orange, New Jersey,
and Angel Munoz (3-2, 2 KOs) of Baldwin Park, California.
Prudential Center is located at 25 Lafayette St in Newark (Ph: (973) 757‑6000). On fight night, doors open at 5:00 pm and the action starts at 5:10 pm EDT.
What is ProBox TV
ProBox TV is a new source of premium boxing content. We will offer live events and robust supporting content, brought to you by our founders, former champions Roy Jones Jr, Juan Manuel Marquez, Antonio Tarver and Paul Malignaggi.
Our motivation for creating ProBox TV is simple. Boxing fans have been taken for granted. They’ve been underserved regarding the quality of content. Further, the other networks involved in boxing lack a commitment to the sport, the fighters and most importantly, the fans. Real fight fans need an “all-boxing channel” fully focused on giving fans what they want.
ProBox TV will also address another critical issue that boxing fans have been forced to accept for far too long: overpriced content. At ProBox TV, we are doing away with the antiquated and expensive PPV model and offering our premium content for a nominal monthly price that is affordable for every fan in every country around the world.
What makes ProBox TV unique is our focus on supporting content, such as news, podcasts and talk shows, behind the scenes and in the gym content, ProBox TV originals documentaries.
ProBox TV Contenders Series
The Contenders Series is best characterized as good fighters in great fights. These contender level fighters will be evenly matched! That’s the most necessary component for fights to be entertaining and these fighters MUST bring the action. If the fighter is a runner, a holder, or a low-volume puncher, he is not welcome at ProBox TV. We are very confident that real boxing fans who crave evenly matched action fights will love this series.
ProBox TV Future Stars Series
The Future Stars Series is about following the journey of top amateur fighters who’ve recently turned pro. Will they fulfill their promise and potential, or will they crash and burn? Our founders have taken that journey and now they want to bring the fans along for the ride. Real boxing fans will genuinely appreciate the Future Stars series. Not only will you get the live fights but you’ll get behind-the-scenes docu-reality content as these young men go through the trials and tribulations of the journey.
ProBox TV Last Chance Tournament
Our Last Chance Tournament will start with 8 fighters from around the world. All were chosen based on a criteria of having had top amateur careers and had turned pro with expectations they would become a champion. Then they hit some bumps along the way, had some disappointing performances and boxing can be cruel if you take a couple of losses. All of these fighters are solid professional fighters and we thought it would be fun to give them a last chance, perhaps Roy, Antonio, Juan and Pauli can help them figure out where they went wrong and get them back on track. The winner of the tournament will get that last chance to achieve their dreams of becoming a champion.
Note they were also chosen along the lines of the contenders series, they are evenly matched and they are all action fighters. This should make for a great tournament shown on our live events.
