PATERSON, N.J. — This is the type of exposure Jonathan Maicelo sought when he moved from his native Peru to northern New Jersey in 2009.
It took a lot longer than the undefeated lightweight contender expected, but Maicelo will finally fight on American television Friday night. He’ll headline an ESPN2 “Friday Night Fights” telecast from Santa Ynez, Calif., where he’ll meet Russia’s Ruslan Nugaev in a 12-round fight (9 p.m. ET/PT).
Maicelo (19-0, 11 KOs), who signed with New Jersey-based promoter Gary Shaw last year, didn’t hesitate to take this fight on 2˝ weeks notice because he didn’t want to pass on national exposure.
