Aleem
(20-3-2, 13 KOs), from Richmond, Virginia, will
face Vitalii Gubkin (10-4-1, 7 KOs), fighting
out of Alexandria, Virginia, in the main event
of another big show promoted by Jeter
Promotions.
Nicknamed
“The Chosen One”, 30-year-old Aleem won the UBO
title when he defeated quality operator Malcolm
Jones (17-3, 10 KOs) last February, scoring a
fourth round stoppage at the same venue.
In Gubkin
(35) he will be facing another tough opponent,
and he hopes that another solid win will bring
him closer to eventually fulfilling his goal of
becoming a world champion.

The
challenger turned pro in 2011, but didn't have his
second fight until 2019. He is 9-2-1 since 2021,
and impressively won the American Boxing
Federation Mid America title last year when he
stopped undefeated Mansaborie Conde (7-0, 5 KOs)
in the fifth round.
That fight
also took place at the Live Casino & Hotel in
Hanover, and Gubkin entered the ring as the
underdog, so he will find himself in a familiar
situation on July 20, and has every intention of
shocking the favourite again.
