Williams vs Moran: Junior Welterweight Showdown Set for April 5 on ProBox TV
Boxing fans, get ready—April 5 is going to be a night to remember. The 2300 Arena in Philadelphia is set to host an exciting ProBox TV event featuring an electrifying junior welterweight showdown, Williams vs Moran, as undefeated Mykquan Williams takes on the experienced Antonio Moran. Headlined by Nicklaus Flaz vs. Gabriel Maestre, this event promises fireworks. However, it comes with an unfortunate shake-up, as heavyweight Sonny Conto has had to withdraw from his scheduled fight.
Mykquan Williams: Young, Undefeated, and Hungry for More
At just 26 years old, Mykquan Williams is proving to be one of the rising stars in the junior welterweight division. Hailing from Hartford, Connecticut, he has built an impressive record of 22 wins, no losses, and 2 draws, with 11 knockouts to his name. If that wasn’t impressive enough, he’s coming off a hot streak, having stopped his last three opponents before the final bell. His most recent victory came in October 2024, when he dominated and stopped Lavisas Williams on ProBox TV.
Williams is known for his speed, accuracy, and ring IQ. His sharp jab and fluid combinations make him a tough opponent for anyone in the division. He’s been on an upward trajectory, and this fight is another step toward bigger opportunities. However, he’s not facing just anyone—Antonio Moran is a seasoned fighter who has been in the ring with some of the best.
Antonio Moran: The Battle-Tested Veteran Looking for Redemption
Antonio Moran, a 32-year-old from Mexico City, has seen it all in the sport. With a record of 30 wins, 7 losses, and 1 draw—including 21 knockouts—he’s been in the ring with some of the toughest names in boxing. While he’s lost two of his last three fights, those defeats came at the hands of top-tier fighters. In September 2023, he went the distance with Jamaine Ortiz but fell short on the scorecards. His last fight, in August 2024, saw him stopped by Cuban rising star Andy Cruz. However, sandwiched between those losses was a spectacular knockout victory over Romero Duno in January 2024, showing he still has plenty of fire left in him.
Moran brings a rugged, aggressive style into the ring. He’s durable, powerful, and experienced—exactly the kind of opponent who could test Williams like never before. He’ll be looking to turn this fight into a war and pull off a big upset.

Heavyweight Shake-Up: Sonny Conto Pulls Out
While the card remains stacked with exciting matchups, there has been an unfortunate change. Undefeated heavyweight Sonny Conto, who boasts a 13-0 record with 10 knockouts, has been forced to withdraw from his scheduled bout. Conto was expected to fight in front of his hometown Philadelphia crowd, making his absence a disappointment for local fans.
ProBox TV has not yet announced if there will be a replacement bout, but Conto’s withdrawal does leave a notable gap in the lineup. Still, the rest of the card ensures plenty of action for fight fans.

Adding to the excitement of the night, the co-main event will feature an intense welterweight battle between Mexico’s Ricardo Salas and St. Louis’ Kent Cruz. Both fighters have their eyes on making a statement in the division, and this matchup is expected to be a fan-friendly war.
Salas has gained a reputation for his relentless aggression and willingness to go toe-to-toe with opponents. Cruz, on the other hand, is a sharp boxer with technical skill and resilience. Both men have a lot on the line, and this fight could turn into a show-stealer.
