Press Release:
Argentinian power puncher Gustavo Lemos has signed a long-term promotional contract with Top Rank. Lemos, a world-ranked contender at lightweight and junior welterweight, will be co-promoted by Top Rank in association with O.R. Promotions.
His ring return date will be announced shortly.
Lemos (29-1, 19 KOs), from Buenos Aires, is an eight-year pro who fought exclusively in his homeland while building a 29-0 record. In March 2022, he demolished former world champion Lee Selby in five rounds at Luna Park in an IBF lightweight world title eliminator. He became the first fighter to knock out Selby, a 32-fight veteran who retired shortly after the bout. Lemos returned in December 2023 with a first-round stoppage over Javier Jose Clavero. In April, he faced unbeaten American Richardson Hitchins in an IBF junior welterweight world title eliminator, coming up on the short end of a debated decision.Â
