OTX, Overtime’s very own boxing league, is gearing up to bring the heat this summer. Starting Friday, August 4th, a four-week-long slugfest will take over Atlanta’s OTE Arena. Can’t make it to Atlanta? Don’t sweat it. DAZN’s got your back, broadcasting each blow live for fans across the globe.
The spotlight for the first night? A fiery face-off between hometown hero Elijah Pierce (17-2-0) and the Mike Plania (28-2-0). The stakes are high with Plania gunning to catapult his career with a significant win, and Pierce aiming to prove he’s got what it takes to compete for a world title.
Not to be outdone, 2020 Olympic Bronze medalist Oshae Jones (3-0-0) is stepping back into the ring. She’s looking to further cement her growing reputation with a win against Miranda Barber (3-4-0) in what promises to be a gripping co-main event.
The night also offers redemption for Haven Brady Jr. (9-0-0), looking to shake off past mistakes of missing weight and prove his commitment to becoming a top-tier boxer. He’s up against Andre Rodriquez, who’s making his broadcast debut, in what promises to be a real gut-checker.
Adding to the excitement, the night will feature a clash between two promising talents: Xavian Ramirez, the youngest fighter to qualify for the Olympic trials, and Ricardo Galvan, both with identical professional records (4-0). It’s going to be a nail-biter as these two young guns vie for supremacy in the ring.
Keep your eyes peeled for Gabriel Muratella (9-0-0), the promising featherweight and day-time school teacher, who’s determined to add another victory to his tally. He’s up against Edwin Rodriquez (11-6-2), a known gatekeeper for aspiring fighters, making it a potentially career-defining fight for Muratella.
But here’s where OTX really starts to innovate. Not just content with bringing you bone-crushing hits, they’re also pulling back the curtain, providing fans with stories from outside the ring. The introduction of the ‘Overtime Round’ means if there’s a draw after the scheduled rounds, we go again – one extra round where it’s winner-takes-all.
Moreover, to ensure the fights remain thrilling from bell to bell, OTX has rolled out a unique KO Bonus. A knockout is rewarded in any round, but land a KO in the first or last round, and you’ll trigger a multiplier effect. Plus, they’re shaking up the standard ring size, opting for an 18×18 ft enclosure instead of the usual 20-22 square foot. Translation? Expect non-stop action!
All the action will be broadcast exclusively on DAZN. Need more info? otboxing.com
