HOUSTON, Texas – October 24, 2024 – Red Owl Boxing’s flagship series BOXFEST will return next Friday with its next edition on November 1, streaming live on DAZN globally in more than 200 territories and regions from the state-of-the-art “Owl’s Nest” in Houston at 9pm ET/8pm CT.

BOXFEST XII will feature several can’t-miss fights on the main card live on DAZN, which will be headlined by a battle of undefeated welterweights when Philadelphia’s Tahmir Smalls (11-0, 8 KOs) faces Seantorious Martin (10-0, 6 KOs) who hails from Marietta, Georgia, in an eight-round main event. 

“I am excited for November 1 on DAZN,” said the unbeaten Tahmir Smalls. “I am working hard and getting the best sparring possible to prepare. When I’m in this mode, I’m very dangerous.”

“Houston, we have a problem!” said Seantorious Martin.

The co-main event features the conclusion of the Shadow FightGoods 140-pound tournament which has played out exclusively on Red Owl Boxing’s BOXFEST series. The two winners of the opening round, Dion Jones (7-0, 6 KOs) and Elijah Williams (9-1, 3 KOs) face off in an eight-round junior welterweight fight. Both fighters edged out decision wins in September on BOXFEST X. 

“You’ll never meet a hater doing better than you,” said Dion Jones. “This fight here is just one step closer toward my goal of being a world champion. I am looking for the challenge so I can grow in this sport. I will win this fight on November 1.” 

“It  feels good to be back with Red Owl Boxing, fighting on DAZN as the co-main event,” said Elijah Williams. “It is an honor and a pleasure and this is a big deal for me, my city and all the youth that look up to me. It’s only up from here and I’m going to keep winning and keep dominating and putting on great performances.”

Each BOXFEST event features three themes as part of the evening’s action – a fight that features an anticipated professional debut, the crowning moment for a rising prospect and fighters seeking to get back on track in a moment of retribution. Learn more about Red Owl Boxing here.
