CBN Promotions is teaming up with “ESPN Knockout” to roll out an eight-fight series in 2024 . This tag-team effort is set to spice up the boxing scene in Latin America with some seriously top-shelf brawls.
The bell rings on this boxing bonanza on February 10th with “Super Brawl Saturday” lighting up Thunder Studios in Long Beach, California. The main event? A 10-rounder in the super featherweight division where Austin Brooks of La Mesa, CA, with an unblemished record of 11-0 and 4 KOs, will go toe-to-toe with Julio Carrera from Sonora, MX, who’s not messing around at 17-0-1 with 13 KOs, all for the WBA Continental strap.
ESPN’s been beaming sports into homes since ’89, reaching fans in 42 spots across Latin America in their choice of Spanish, Portuguese, or English. Now, with over 20 million homes tuned in, ESPN Knockout is about to get those gloves up and fists flying into even more living rooms.
Alex Camponovo, the big boss at CBN Promotions, is stoked about joining forces with ESPN Knockout. He’s all about delivering punch-packed entertainment to fans far and wide, and reckons ESPN’s massive footprint is just the ticket to make that happen.
ESPN Latin America isn’t just one channel; it’s a whole family, with ESPN 2, ESPN+, and ESPN2 Caribbean making sure no fan is left behind, whether they’re in Mexico, the Caribbean, or anywhere in between. They even went HD in Brazil back in ’09, keeping things crisp in the ring.
Rolando Nichols, the head honcho at Thunder Studios, can’t wait to get this show on the road with ESPN Knockout, promising to pack a punch with every bout for the fans in Latin America.
But wait, there’s more! The undercard’s got Tayden Beltran from Huntington Beach, CA, duking it out with Lyle McFarlane in a lightweight dust-up that’s sure to keep fans on their toes.
If you can’t catch “Super Brawl Saturday” live, no sweat. It’ll also be hitting the airwaves on FuboTV, FightStars Network, and later on Fox Deportes and Estrella TV for those who fancy a replay.
Tickets are up for grabs starting at 50 bucks, and you can snag ’em online or give ’em a ring. And let’s not forget the sponsors making it all happen – HUSTLER Casino, Tequila Mandala, and Shoe Palace, because what’s a fight night without a bit of tequila and some swanky kicks?
