Premier Boxing Championship (PBC) is the premier brand in professional boxing. To win its prospect of the year award means you are operating on the highest of levels and on a fast track to winning a world title. That's exactly what Spring, native Micahel Angeletti did. The management company named the Houston area fighter its prospect of the year for 2022 following a spectacular 12 months that saw the 26-year-old go 3-0 (3) and pick up wins in the Armory in Minnesota, the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida and in Brooklyn's Barclays Center. It was at the Barclays where a star was born. The hard-hitting and slick-moving Angeletti put a Texas-size beat down on fellow unbeaten prospect Joseph Adorno on his way to picking up on a fifth-round stoppage in a scheduled six-round featherweight bout. Angeletti typically fights at the super bantamweight limit of 122 pounds but moved up to 126, to take the battle of unbeaten prospects on the undercard of Wilder-Helenius.
Angeletti also scored wins over veteran Angel Luna on the undercard of Tzsyu-Gausha undercard and a first-round blowout of Rafael Morel on the undercard of Omar Figueroa vs Sergey Lipinets card back in August. He finishes the year and moves into 2023 with a flawless record of 7-0 (6)
Angeletti is a highly skilled boxer with excellent hand speed and footwork and carries surprising pop in both hands. Two of the four world titles at 122 are held on the PBC side with Stephen Fulton holding both the WBC and WBO straps. The other two are held by Murodjon Akhmadaliev a Matchroom Boxing fighter. It stands to reason given Angeletti's quick ascension he could be fighting for a world title in 2023.
