PHOENIX (Juli 14, 2017) – What’s hotter than Phoenix in July? Roy Jones Jr. Boksning og FIGHTNIGHT LIVE Facebook series will answer that question this Lørdag, Juli 15, på 7:30 p.m. PT (10:30 p.m. OG) when the tech-forward, fan-friendly broadcast platform delivers once again – this time with a stacked fight card featuring championship action live from the desert.
Fremmes af Roy Jones Jr. og Keith Veltre, Lørdagens event will bring fans back-to-back championship action. The event will showcase a main attraction featuring NABA Super Welterweight Champion John “The Phenom” Vera Jr. (16-0, 10 KOS) as he takes on the former WBO Latino Champion Daniel Rosario (11-2, 10 KOS) in a 10-round contest live from in Chandler, Ariz.

“Roy and I have always felt that live streaming would take the place of the old platforms of delivering fights,” stated Veltre, CEO and Co-Founder of Roy Jones Jr. Boksningskampagner. “To partner up with Linacre Media and showcase our talent live with Facebook is years ahead of anyone else in the industry. This will give us the ability to reach millions of boxing fans around the world and enable us to deliver our sponsors triple the exposure we would normally get from traditional TV. Mark Fratto, the brains behind this envisioning series, is giving fighters the opportunity to showcase their talent to the world and gain a fan base. We are thrilled that his vision lines exactly where Roy Jones Jr. Boxing Promotions wants to be.”
