“KO Night Boxing: GUERRE À WinnaVegas” est présenté par KO Night Boxing LLC, en association avec Roc Nation Sports, Billet Ringside Inc. et WinnaVegas Resort Casino. TITLE Boxing est le fournisseur officiel de gants pour KO Night Boxing.
“This is a great opportunity for ‘KO Night Boxing, LLC’ to expand our brand to another state,” promoter John Andersen said. “We’re very happy to be coming to WinnaVegas and working with Mayan Beltran and his team. We’re kicking this new relationship off in a big way with these two regional title fights on CBS Sports Network. We hope that this is just the start of a long-lasting relationship between KO Night Boxing and WinnaVegas.
“The principal fighters in the two nationally televised fights are all on the verge of breaking out to become stars. A lot is at risk for all of them. Our promotional company is known for giving a platform to top prospects in highly entertaining, competitive matches that boxing fans love watching, whether they’re in the arena or watching on CBS Sports Network.”

Roc Nation Sports’ Talonneur (22-0-3, 16 KOs) will defend his North American Boxing Organization (VOISINS) junior welterweight against title challenger Abdiel “Mortier” Ramirez (23-1-1, 21 KOs) dans le cas de 10 tour principal.
Sortir de Dallas,
Hooker is world rated at No. 2 par l'Organisation mondiale de boxe (WBO), et n. 4 par la Fédération internationale de boxe (IBF).
The 27-year-old Hooker was a decorated amateur boxer in Texas,
finishing with a 97-7 (67 KOs) record,
who turned pro in 2011.
Hooker first captured the vacant NABO title in 2015, at home in Dallas, with a six-round technical knockout of previously unbeaten Eduardo Galindo (10-0-1). Depuis, Hooker has made three successful title defenses against Ghislain Maduma (17-1) at the famed Madison Square Garden on Nov. 17, 2015, Ty Barnett (23-5-1) at Oracle Arena on August 6, 2016; and in a 10-round draw with former World Boxing Association (WBA) Champion du monde Darleys Perez (33-2-1) on undercard of Sergey Kovalev vs. Andre Ward “Pound-For-Pound” on Mov. 19 à Las Vegas.
In his most recent fight on Février. 25 au Mexique, Hooker cruised to a dominant 10-round decision victory over former IBF World Champion Cristobal Cruz (41-20-4).
Ramirez, 25, is a former FECOMBOX Lightweight Champion, fighting out of Ciudad Juarez, Mexique. Ramirez, who is riding a nine-fight win streak, will be fighting outside of his native Mexico for the first time against Hooker.
The 10-round co-feature for the vacant United States Boxing Association (USBA) featherweight crown has been in the works for a while and it could very well steal the show as former USBA champion Daniel “Tic” Franco prend José Haro.
Franco, 25 ans (15-1-3, 10 KOs), fighting out of Rancho Cucamonga, Californie, started boxing at the age of eight, amassant un dossier amateur de 67-15, mis en évidence par des performances médaillées d'or au 2006 Oxnard PAL Championships and 2017 California State Silver Gloves Championships.
Fighting under the Roc Nation Sports banner, Franco captured the vacant USBA featherweight title last November, knocking out previously unbeaten Derrick Murray (13-0-1) en quatre tours. Franco was stopped in his last fight by veteran Christopher Martin (29-8-3) au troisième tour de leur combat sans titre à Los Angeles le Mars 23. Franco est actuellement noté Non. 5 par l'USBA et non. 11 par le NABO.
USBA Non. 14-rated Haro (13-1-1, 7 KOs), who is a well-kept secret outside of West Jordan, Utah, is an all-action fighter. The 29-year-old has won his last five fights, unbeaten in in his last six with a draw, since suffering his only loss to highly-touted prospect Toka Kahn Clary (11-0) par une décision à six tours en 2014.
Tous les combats et les combattants sont sujets à changement. Épisodes supplémentaires seront bientôt annoncés.
