HOUSTON, TX – Red Owl Boxing’s acclaimed BOXFEST series is set to ignite the summer with its fifteenth installment, promising a night of high-stakes, elite boxing action on Friday, June 6. The event will stream live and exclusively on DAZN to over 200 territories and regions globally from the state-of-the-art “Owl’s Nest” in Houston, Texas, with the main card beginning at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT.
The main event of BOXFEST XV will see a battle of unbeatens as Khalid Twaiti (14-0, 5 KOs) takes on Emanuel Moreno (10-0, 3 KOs) for the vacant WBA Continental USA Bantamweight Title in a pivotal eight-round showdown. With both fighters putting their perfect records on the line, this bantamweight championship bout is a can’t-miss clash of rising stars.
"This is the kind of fight the BOXFEST series is all about—two hungry, undefeated fighters stepping up to prove they are ready for the next level," said Gabriel Fanous, founder of Red Owl Boxing. "The Owl's Nest will be electric, and fans around the world on DAZN are in for a memorable night of boxing."
The co-main event will feature another contest of undefeated fighters as welterweight sensation Angel Perez (9-0, 7 KOs) faces his toughest test to date against the formidable Axl Melendez (7-1, 4 KOs) in a six-round bout. Perez aims to keep his perfect record and high knockout ratio intact against the once-beaten Melendez.
The action-packed undercard on DAZN will showcase a wealth of emerging talent. In an eight-round super lightweight fight, the undefeated Antonio Perez (10-0, 5 KOs) will face his most experienced opponent yet in veteran Alex Martin (18-7, 6 KOs). Additionally, the card will feature a compelling four-round featherweight matchup between two undefeated prospects, Emmanuel Carrilo Jr (3-0, 2 KOs) and Jordan Najar (2-0, 1 KOs).
Opening the broadcast will be the professional debut of Houston’s own Tyler Flores, who takes on Doniel Hancock (0-1) in a four-round cruiserweight bout.
