The rematch between Aaron Castro and Levi Whitlow will have to wait. After Whitlow withdrew from Fight For It XIV, his Gym-O teammate, and 0-1 pro Titus Moore stepped up to welcome Castro to the professional ranks.
Moore is entering this contest as a last-minute replacement, and looking to avenge the third-round stoppage he suffered against Andrew Sturdivant in November of 2022. He’ll face stiff opposition from Castro, a man who our own commentator Ses Stevenson dubbed, “quite possibly North Carolina’s best boxer in MMA.” Castro’s outing at Fight For It XIII ended in a draw against fellow striking specialist “Prince” Ahmed Khamis. But with two of his three amateur victories arriving via stoppage, Castro has more than proven his ability to drop the hammer on opponents who underestimate his striking ability.
Moore has the upper hand in experience, and has the motivation to turn around his professional record. But Castro looks eager to get his own career off to a strong start. When these two clash on Feb. 18, an explosive bout is all but guaranteed.
