ProBox locks in four 2026 dates at Maryland's Live! Casino Hotel

In keeping with their mission statement to provide regular and well-matched fights, ProBoxTV’s 2026 schedule is firming up by securing four dates at the Live! Casino Hotel in Hanover, Maryland, company CEO Garry Jonas tells BoxingScene.
The Live! Casino Hotel dates will be January 30, May 1, August 7 and December 4.
Jonas, who also owns BoxingScene, added he has an agreement in principle in place for two other dates at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut, in late May and early October, and is in negotiations to bring two other cards to The Theater at Madison Square Garden.
Jonas spoke to BoxingScene while attending his fighter Erickson Lubin’s fight week in Fort Worth, Texas, this past week, and he said he plans to bring four more ProBox cards to the Dallas-Fort Worth area in 2026, meaning he’ll have four more dates to book for next year.
BoxingScene learned ProBox has reached out to Dickies Arena – the site of Vergil Ortiz Jnr’s second-round knockout of Lubin on Saturday – along with a convention center in the Metroplex and the University of Texas-Arlington.
ProBox, which currently streams its fights on YouTube, is coming off a well-viewed Friday card in Lakeland, Florida, where its welterweight Nicklaus Flaz was knocked out by Top Rank’s Delante “Tiger” Johnson in the fourth round.
The promotion boasts talent including featherweight titleholder Angelo Leo, junior lightweight beltholder Lamont Roach Jnr, unbeaten super middleweight contender Lester Martinez and recent junior featherweight title challenger Ramon Cardenas.
ProBox stages its fights on Friday nights to avoid clashing with other promoters on Saturdays.
Lance Pugmire has been a full-time boxing writer for nearly 20 years, serving now as BoxingScene’s U.S. Senior Writer and assistant producer for ProBoxTV’s “BoxingScene Today.” Pugmire capped a near 20-year career at the Los Angeles Times (sports investigations, NHL/MLB beat work, law enforcement/courts and boxing/UFC) to join The Athletic, and then USA Today. Pugmire’s stint at The Times started with the first Israel Vazquez-Rafael Marquez fight and the Oscar De La Hoya-Floyd Mayweather Jnr then-record pay-per-view, leading through a slew of ringside assignments at major bouts, including Mayweather-Pacquiao, Mayweather-Canelo and the Canelo-Golovkin trilogy. Lance’s appreciation for boxing is rooted in his admiration and appreciation for the fighters, gladiators who have proven to be the most forthcoming and candid of all the athletes he has interviewed over a career dating to 1990. Lance was honored to be named the 2022 winner of the Boxing Writers Association of America Nat Fleischer Award for career excellence and he’s collected many BWAA writing awards in categories ranging from breaking news to deep-dive long features.
