Red Owl Boxing’s BOXFEST XV Returns June 6 Live on DAZN; Twaiti and Moreno Headline for WBA Continental USA Title – New Docuseries Episode Premieres Fight Week
Red Owl Boxing returns with the fifteenth installment of its critically acclaimed BOXFEST series on Friday, June 6, delivering a compelling night of elite boxing action live from the state-of-the-art “Owl’s Nest” in Houston, Texas. The event will stream live and exclusively on DAZN to more than 200 global territories, with the main card set to begin at 9 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. CT.
In the evening’s main event, undefeated bantamweights Khalid Twaiti (14-0, 5 KOs) and Emanuel Moreno (10-0, 3 KOs) will square off in a pivotal eight-round contest for the vacant WBA Continental USA Bantamweight Title. With both prospects putting their perfect records on the line, the stakes are high in what promises to be a career-defining matchup.
“This is what BOXFEST is all about — two undefeated fighters, both on the rise, colliding in a meaningful, high-stakes bout,” said Gabriel Fanous, founder of Red Owl Boxing. “We’ve built BOXFEST to be the proving ground for boxing’s future stars, and June 6 will be another showcase of just that.”
