האָוסטאָן, Texas – October 30, 2024 – Red Owl Boxing’s flagship seriesBOXFEST will return this Friday, נאָוועמבער 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 XIIwill feature the conclusion of the Shadow FightGoods 140-pound tournament which has played out exclusively on Red Owl Boxing’sBOXFEST סעריע. The two winners of the opening round, Dion Jones (7-0, 6 קאָס) אוןElijah Williams (9-1, 3 קאָס) face off in an eight-round junior welterweight fight. Both fighters edged out decision wins in September onBOXFEST X.
“It feels good to be back with Red Owl Boxing, fighting on DAZN as the co-main event,"האט ווילליאַמס. “This is a big deal for me and a big deal for my city. I am from Newburgh, ניו יארק, the bottom of the bottom. All I know is pain and I’m going to show the world better than I can tell them this Friday.”
The fight will mark the first eight-round bout for the 21-year-old prospect who turned pro in 2021 and Jones will be the second undefeated fighter Williams has faced in his young career. Despite the step up in competition, the New York native is confident he is built for the moment.
“I never ever sleep on any opponent and I won’t start now. I look at everyone like they are ‘him’ so that I am mentally strong and prepared,"האט ווילליאַמס. “With that being said, I am going to keep it real – Dion Jones is not on my level. My blood, sweat and tears have been spilled in the sport of boxing for moments like this. I am going to take him to deep waters, places he has never been before and see how he functions when the tide gets rough.”
Williams began boxing at a young age and was ranked as high as third in USA Boxing’s Junior Division as an amateur. Younger than Jones by five years, “The Bully” enters the Shadow FightGoods 140-pound tournament final with advantages in amateur experience and height.
“Dion Jones has never been in the ring with someone like me,” noted Williams. “I promise you, I don’t see it going past the sixth round and that is being generous. Stay tuned to this one on Friday night. The whole world will see who ‘The Bully’ is!"
