Before turning professional in 2022, 28-year-old Hebert Conceicao won a middleweight gold medal at the 2021 Olympics and took bronze in the 2019 World Amateur Championships. In ten pro fights, Conceicao has already beaten two prominent Brazilian countrymen: the 2012 London Olympic-medal-winning brothers, Esquiva and Yamaguchi Falcao. In June 2024, in just his sixth fight, Conceicao won a unanimous ten-round decision over younger brother and silver medalist Esquiva and in September of last year, he prevailed against older brother and bronze medalist Yamaguchi to win the Brazilian super middleweight title. Conceicao was last seen in December of last year with a nearly flawless ten-round unanimous decision over veteran Elias Espadas in Fort Lauderdale, live on ProBoxTV.
After turning professional in 2017, the 34-year-old Johan Gonzalez won his first 22 fights by knockout. In March 2025, he won a ten-round split decision over former unified junior middleweight champion Jarrett Hurd. Gonzalez has made two previous appearances on ProBoxTV. In August 2023, he stopped Ricardo Ruben Villalbain five rounds, and then in November of that year, he scored a majority ten-round decision over then 16-1-2 Guido Schramm. Both fights were held at the Whitesands Events Center in Plant City, Florida.
