Undefeated light heavyweight prospect Tavoris Cloud will face Douglas LaFontsee next Friday night, November 10, at Cicero Chill, the next huge card of world class professional boxing at Cicero Stadium, it was announced today by Dominic Pesoli, President of 8 Count Productions.
Cloud, 12-0 with eleven early stoppages has quickly become one of boxing’s hottest light heavyweight prospects. In his last bout on September 15th, Cloud stunned the packed house at the Aragon Ballroom with a devastating fourth round knockout of veteran Tim Shocks.
Said Pesoli, “The fans in Chicago have really taken to Tavoris. He’s a very skilled kid who can close the show quickly. We’re thrilled to have him back at Cicero Chill. Lafontsee is a heavy handed kid and should provide a tough test for Tavoris.”
Lafontsee, from Wyoming, Michigan, sports a record of 7-1 with five knockouts. In his last bout, Lafontsee won a unanimous decision over Jeffrey Osbourne Jr. on July 15th in Comstock Park, Michigan.
Said trainer Al Bonanni, “Tavoris is in great shape, he’s had very good sparring for this fight and we’re looking forward to coming to Chicago to put on another great show.”
