Leo, 26-1 (12 KOs), is a two-division titleholder who won his 126lbs strap against Luis Alberto Lopez in 2024. The 31-year-old Leo fought once last year, defeating Tomoki Kameda by majority decision in Japan. Now Leo, originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico, wants to be known as one of the greats from his state – which launched fighters such as Johnny Tapia, Danny Romero, Bob Foster and Austin Trout – while continuing to defend his title.
Angelo Leo says, ‘Legacy is everything to me’
