Maliek Montgomery is excited to display his varied skills beyond just being recognized as a power puncher or sparring partner for top boxers worldwide. He will get the chance to prove himself as he fights former world title contender Cesar Juarez in an eight-round junior lightweight match at the Overtime Elite Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. This bout will be featured on the OTX 8 Live card, airing live on DAZN at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
Originally slated to fight a different opponent, Montgomery’s initial rival had to withdraw, prompting a last-minute switch. Despite this change, Montgomery’s manager is confident that he is prepared to make an impact against Juarez. With an unblemished record of 17-0 with 16 knockouts, Montgomery is resolute in extending his winning streak and establishing himself as a formidable presence in the ring.
Through sparring sessions with elite boxers like Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis and Devin Haney in Las Vegas, Montgomery has bolstered his self-assurance and enhanced his understanding of his fighting abilities. He not only aims to secure a convincing victory over Juarez but also aims to position himself closer to a title shot in the 130-pound weight class.
Self-assured and committed to his craft, Montgomery views himself as a contender and welcomes any challenges that may arise. With unwavering faith in his skills and the correct mindset, Montgomery is committed to demonstrating his talents and leaving a lasting impact in the boxing realm.
