Love, Bey return to ShoBox on Feb. 28

Mayweather Promotions will return on ShoBox: The New Generation on Feb. 28 at Turning Stone Resort & Casino in Verona, NY, as middleweight J’Leon Love and lightweight Mickey Bey look to continue rebounding from setbacks they suffered in 2013.

Last December, Love (16-0, 9 knockouts) and Bey (19-1-1, 10 KOs) both came back from their first bit of professional adversity as the two fought on the season finale of ShoBox. Love had previously been suspended for using a diuretic leading up to his May bout over Gabriel Rosado, resulting in that fight being changed to a no contest and Lovr being suspended. Bey was knocked out by John Molina in July in the final round of a bout he was leading going away on the scorecards.

Love will face Vladine Biosse, the fighter confirmed to Behind The Gloves on Friday night. The 31-year old Biosse (15-2-2, 7 KOs) from Providence, RI has fought all but one of his fights in either Rhode Island or Connecticut.

Bey’s opponent has yet to be announced. Expect many of the other young fighters in the Mayweather Promotions stable to appear on the card, such as top prospect Chris Pearson.
