In our main event, Kurt Scoby* (13-0, 11 KOs), fresh from his TKO victory over Narciso Carmona at OTE Arena last year, is poised for a showdown with seasoned pro Dakota “The Lone Wolf” Linger (13-6-3, 6 KOs) from West Virginia. Linger, distinguished as one of the most formidable gatekeepers in the sport, with his previous five opponents amassing a combined record of 73-2, is set to challenge the meteoric rise of another rising star.
The co-main event will be an intriguing match-up in the OTX Tournament, Brandon “The Cannon” Adams (23-3) is set to battle Bronx talent Ismael Villarreal (13-2, 9 KOs) in a compelling bout. Adams, a former World Title challenger, squares off against Villarreal, celebrated for his readiness to take on tough challenges. This fight marks one of two tournament bouts on the card.
In the OTX Tournament, Tijuana’s Angel Ruiz (18-2, 13 KOs) battles Argentinian Olympian Francisco Veron (13-0, 10 KOs) in a compelling 10-round super welterweight bout. With Ruiz coming off a big win against Luis Collazo, this match promises intense competition as both seek tournament dominance.
Last year at OTX, David Lopez* (4-0, 3 KOs) delivered a knockout against Joseph Suero, capturing one of the
event's most viral moments. This time, he faces Anthony “Toro Rojo” Mora (3-1-1), in a clash that promises to ignite the ring, as both fighters aim for a victory to propel their early careers into the spotlight.
Nathan Lugo, a 2024 Olympic Trial Champion and the active leader in forced stoppages in USA amateur Boxing, will make his highly anticipated professional debut against Robert Lartigue (1-1, 1 KOs). This bout, a showcase for Lugo’s transition to the professional ranks, pits his considerable amateur experience against Lartigue, who’s already tasted both victory and defeat in his short professional journey. One thing is certain: Lugo will enter the ring hungry for his first professional win.
