Junior middleweight prospect Alex Bray will headline in his first fight of 2026, facing Rodrigo Damian Coria on February 20 at the Caribe Royale Orlando in Florida.
The show will stream on Boxlab Promotions’ YouTube channel.
Bray, 10-0 (8 KOs), is a 19-year-old from about 70 miles away in Melbourne, Florida. He turned pro in 2023 at the age of 17, fighting in Panama and Colombia for his first six outings, until he could legally compete as a professional in the United States.
Bray had two fights in 2025: a majority decision in March over the 13-7-2 Victoriano Antonio Santillan and a first-round technical knockout in July against the 9-6 Lesther Espino.
Coria, 15-7 (3 KOs), is a 27-year-old from Argentina. Among the losses on his record is a decision dropped to Brian Norman Jnr in early 2023.
The undercard includes a pair of spotlights for heavyweight prospect Dainier Pero and young lightweight Gabriela Tellez.
Pero, 12-0 (9 KOs), will face Donald Haynesworth, 19-9-1 (17 KOs), in a scheduled 10-rounder.
Pero, 26, is a 6-foot-5 heavyweight prospect from Cuba who competed in the Olympics in 2021. He made it to the quarterfinals of the super heavyweight tournament, losing a decision to eventual silver medalist Richard Torrez Jnr. He is the younger brother of fellow heavyweight prospect Lenier Pero. Dainier just fought in mid-January against a 23-10 foe. He is rated seventh by the WBA.
Haynesworth is 43 years old and was taken out by Torrez in the first round in March 2024. He spent about 16 months away before returning this past August with a two-round win over a 4-14 opponent.
Tellez, 6-0 (2 KOs), is a 19-year-old from Texas. She will face Calista Silgado, 22-20-4 (16 KOs), a 37-year-old from Colombia. Their bout is scheduled for 10 rounds.
