Avious “Tha Underdog” Griffin, gearing up for the most significant bout of his career, is poised to face another undefeated welterweight in Jose Vargas Quintana on April 19 in Atlanta.

Griffin (13-0, 12 KOs), of Chattanooga, Tennessee, is guided by Brian 'BoMac' McIntyre, Ring Magazine's 2023 Trainer of the Year. The scheduled eight-round bout, which will be broadcast live internationally on DAZN from the OTE Arena, will mark Griffin’s televised debut.

"Making my debut on DAZN is a fighter’s dream come true, but for me it’s just another fight,” Griffin said. “I been fighting my whole life – now more people get to witness it.”

Griffin, who recently arrived for camp in Omaha, Nebraska, is excited to showcase his talents and the work he is putting in with McIntyre.

“Avious is a special fighter,” said Brandon Stump, Griffin’s manager. “He has it all … skill, boxing IQ, speed, athleticism, charisma and devastating power. I have no doubt he will rise to the occasion.”

Quintana (9-0, 7 KOs), a slugger from Colombia, poses a daunting challenge. He is by any measure the most dangerous opponent Griffin has faced yet.

“This fight against Quintana is the step up in competition you can surely expect to see moving forward, and with BoMac in his corner,” Stump said of Griffin’s near-future path. “I believe we're on the cusp of witnessing something truly special for many years to come."

Said Griffin: “I can't wait to give fans an unforgettable performance.”
