RED OWL BOXING CLOSES OUT 2024 WHEN IT RETURNS TOMORROW, DECEMBER 13 AT 9PM ET/8PM CT ON DAZN
December 12, 2024 – All fighters on Red Owl Boxing’s final BOXFESTcard of the year successfully made weight in Houston earlier today. The stacked event will take place tomorrow, Friday, December 13, streaming live on DAZN globally in more than 200 territories and regions from the state-of-the-art “Owl’s Nest” in Houston. The action begins around the world at 9 pm ET/8 pm CT.
BOXFEST XIII will be headlined by a ten-round fight for the NABF Middleweight title when Marquis Taylor (17-1-2, 3 KOs) and Ivan Pandzic (15-2-1, 9 KOs) face off in the much anticipated main event. Both fighters are coming off impressive stoppage victories. Taylor, 31, bested a battle-tested veteran Roberto Garcia in August while Pandzic, 33, is fresh off a dominating first-round knockout in September.
The undercard features four undefeated fighters who are returning to fight with Red Owl Boxing after all have had strong showings in 2024. The Houston-based series BOXFEST has featured top prospects, 50-50 fights, upsets and more in 2024, as Red Owl Boxing continues to grow as a leader in building the next generation of top contenders.
In the co-main event, undefeated Oscar Alan Perez (11-0-2, 7 KOs) will face Cristian Medina Garcia (8-1-1, 5 KOs) in an eight-round lightweight bout. Born and raised in Houston, Perez has earned three victories in his hometown in 2024 while Garcia is making his U.S. debut in hopes to beat the fourth undefeated fighter of his pro career. Also returning to the Owl’s Nest is fast-rising prospect Bre’yon Gorham (17-0, 14 KOs) who takes on Alan Ayala (11-4, 7 KOs) in a junior welterweight fight scheduled for eight rounds. With two dominating victories in 2024 with Red Owl Boxing, Gorham is seeking another victory to close out the year and insert himself into the world title picture at 140 pounds in 2025.
Houston’s own Giovanni Marquez (11-0, 6 KOs) will take another step up in competition when he faces Cristian Dominguez (13-6, 6 KOs). This will mark the fourth time the 23-year-old phenom has fought at the Owl’s Nest, and the third time in 2024, making the son of former world champion Raul Marquez one of the most active prospects to compete at the arena.
Opening the night of action on DAZN, Troy Nash, Jr. (2-0) will face David De Leon, who will make his pro debut in Houston. Nash, 19, will return to Red Owl Boxing following his shutout victory in May over undefeated featherweight Roman Reyes.
