If Jamal James is going to prove that he’s a legitimate threat at 147 pounds, this is his chance.
“Shango” faces Thomas Dulorme for an interim welterweight title to headline the return of “PBC Fight Night” on Saturday night, live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
Since suffering his only pro loss — a unanimous decision against Yordenis Ugas in August 2016 — James (26-1, 12 KOs) has been on a tear with six consecutive victories. The 32-year-old from Minneapolis scored a unanimous decision over Antonio DeMarco his last time out in July 2019.
“I’m excited and ready to be getting back in the ring after everything happening these last months,” James said in a PBC press release. “Thomas Dulorme is a strong opponent, and I feel that we will be giving boxing fans a great night of action. Training has gone extremely well, and I am more than prepared to secure this victory.”
The 30-year-old Dulorme (25-3-1, 16 KOs), who posted a unanimous decision win over Terrel Williams last September, has other plans.
“James is a good fighter, but I am on a different level, and it will show on Aug. 8,” he said. “I will put on the best performance of my career and win the WBA title.”
