Laguna Beach - NextVR, the leader in live-action virtual reality broadcast technology, and FOX Sports will offer the Saturday, January 23 Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) matches, airing on FOX (8:00 PM ET), live in virtual reality.
David Benavidez aspires to become the youngest super middleweight champion in history. For now, he settles for being a knockout nearly every time out. The latest hit comes Tuesday evening at Club Nokia in Los Angeles, where the 19-year old registered a 2nd round knockout of Kevin Cobbs in their Fox Sports 1-televised opener.
The news came after the winter holidays, but it felt like Christmas all over again for Caleb "Sweet Hands" Plant. The unbeaten middleweight was already in training for a January 19 fight in Los Angeles, when he received the news on January 7 of a confirmed opponent in Adasat Rodriguez.
For the second time in less than a month, Roman Martinez and Orlando Salido were believed to have a deal in place, only for such plans to be interrupted by a looming mandatory title defense.
LOS ANGELES (January 7, 2016) - Undefeated prospect David Benavidez (11-0, 10 KOs) will take on Kevin Cobbs (10-1, 4 KOs) in eight rounds of super middleweight action as "Fight Week on FOX in L.A." kicks off with Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) TOE-TO-TOE TUESDAYS on FS1 and BOXEO DE CAMPEONES on FOX Deportes on Tuesday, January 19 from Club Nokia at L.A. Live.
No stranger to accepting last minute assignments, Christopher Brooker made the most of his televised clash with previously unbeaten Leo 'Kid Bam' Hall in scoring an eight-round unanimous decision Tuesday evening at Sands Resort Casino in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
Frank De Alba will never forget his pro debut for a number of reasons. He suffered a four-round defeat to a previously winless opponent, but the loss column is not the place he least wishes to return. The bout was staged at Carcel 1072, a maximum security facility in Bayamon, Puerto Rico. It wasn’t just the site of his pro debut, but his residence over a three-year stretch for possession of illegal firearms during a youth misspent in his native Puerto Rico. “I was immature and reckless as a kid,” De Alba recalled to BoxingScene.com of his teenage years. “I was involved in drugs and busted for carrying a firearm. I was sprung on bail and then on the run.”
It appears as if the on-again, off-again clash between Dominic Breazeale and Amir Mansour finally has a home. Barring yet another postponement, the pair of heavyweights are due to collide January 23 at Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. The bout will serve as part of the series debut of Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) on Fox, airing on the free-to-air network in primetime. Headlining the show, unbeaten Danny Garcia takes on Robert Guerrero in a matchup of former champs, while undefeated prospect Sammy Vasquez Jr. meets resurgent Aron Martinez in a welterweight crossroads bout.
All fighters made weight for the 46th and final Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) event of 2015, which takes place Tuesday evening at Sands Bethlehem in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The main event pits regional rivals Omar Douglas and Frank De Alba in a scheduled 10-round super featherweight bout, which airs live on Fox Sports 1 (Tuesday, 9:00 p.m. ET). Douglas tipped the scales at a trim and ready 128 lbs, while De Alba was well within weight at 129.5 lbs.
BETHLEHEM, PA. (December 23, 2015) - Undefeated welterweight prospect Miguel Cruz (11-0, 10 KOs) will face Virgil Green (11-4, 3 KOs) while unbeaten light heavyweight Leo Hall (8-0, 7 KOs) takes on Dustin Craig Echard (11-2, 8 KOs) in a pair of eight round bouts on Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) TOE-TO-TOE TUESDAYS on FS1 and BOXEO DE CAMPEONES on FOX Deportes on Tuesday, December 29.
