It’s eights across the board for the light heavyweight elimination bout between undefeated contender Tavoris Cloud and former linear champion Julio Gonzalez. Dominic Pesoli, President of 8 Count Productions, informed Boxingscene.com that the eliminator is slated to headline the August 8 edition of ESPN2’s Friday Night Fights. The 12-round bout will take place in the Chicagoland area.

Pesoli’s 8-Count Productions, along with German promotional group A-Team, won the purse bid last month with a winning bid of $188,000.
