Immanuwel Aleem (21-3-3, 13 KOs) and Demond Nicholson (27-6-1, 23 KOs) are set for a mouthwatering showdown for the vacant Universal Boxing Organization™ (UBO) Inter-Continental Light Heavyweight title on July 26.

 
 

This is a rematch of their 2016 draw, and both men are eager to settle the score almost exactly nine years later in one of the featured fights of another big show promoted by Jeter Promotions at the Live Casino & Hotel in Hanover, Maryland.

In their original encounter, Aleem, who went on to win several titles, including the UBO Continental (North America) Super Middleweight title in 2024, felt hard done-by as what appeared to be a knock-down was ruled a slip instead of being the deciding factor for him on the scorecards.

Nicholson also went on to do well for himself, winning titles and fighting some of the biggest names in the sport. In 2021 he was the first man to take Edgar Berlanga the distance, after the Puerto Rican-American had stopped all his previous sixteen foes in the first round!


 
 

Besides the opportunity to finally get a victory over Nicholson, and winning his second UBO title, Aleem also has a chance to make an instant statement at Light Heavyweight, after campaigning at Middleweight and Super Middleweight since turning pro in 2012.

Nicholson, who suffered defeats at the highest level in 2023, to Demetrius Andrade and Christian Mbilli, returned with a win last October and will be looking to build on that momentum and prove that the result of the first fight was a fluke.
