ADDITIONAL INFO
In the first round of the OTX Tournament, Andreas Katzourakis (12-0, 10 KOs), the pride of Greece now living and fighting out of Houston, is gearing up for another electrifying appearance in the OTX ring, buoyed by his previous knockout victory at OTE Arena last August. Standing in his path to tournament supremacy is the tough-as-nails Uzbek warrior, Kudratillo “The Punisher” Abdukakhorov (20-2, 12 KOs). With an undefeated record and knockout power in both hands, Katzourakis is laser-focused on etching another win into his belt, while Abdukakhorov looks to punish Katzourakis and move onto the semi-final round.
Vladimir “24K” Hernandez (14-6, 6 KOs), the man who rocked the boxing world with his epic upset over Lorenzo “Truck” Simpson, steps back into the OTX ring with his sights this time set against the undefeated Robert “Tiger” Terry (11-0, 4 KOs) of New Jersey in the first round bout of the OTX Tournament. Hernandez is ready to prove that lightning can indeed strike twice in this high-stakes encounter, but Terry hopes to stop him in his tracks, like he has done to all of those he has shared the ring with before.
Giovanni Marquez* (9-0, 5 KOs), riding high off a thrilling victory at OTX 5, is primed for a blockbuster showdown in Houston, squaring off against San Antonio’s Jason Limon (8-0, 2 KOs). This all-Texas clash promises fireworks as both young guns aim to keep their records spotless.
Gustavo Rivera Rio (9-0, 7 KOs), a knockout artist from Mexico, is set to electrify the American boxing scene in his much-anticipated U.S. debut at OTX. With an undefeated streak on the line, Rio is eager to showcase his explosive talent to a new audience.
Houston's own knockout king, Breyon “Grindtime” Gorham (16-0, 13 KOs), is set to ignite his hometown crowd in his OTX debut against Jose Luis Baltazar III (12-1, 5 KOs) from Hidalgo, TX by way of Reynoso, Mexico. With an astonishing 81.25% knockout rate, Gorham is on a quest for his 17th victory in front of his hometown crowd, promising an explosive battle.

LAMONT ROACH TO DEFEND WBA TITLE VERSUS FEARGAL MCCRORY ON JUNE 28 IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
BY JAKE DONOVAN | COMMENTS
Lamont Roach Jr. will head home for his first title defense.
The reigning WBA junior lightweight titlist will next face unbeaten contender Feargal McCrory. The bout will headline a June 28 ProBox TV show from Entertainment & Sports Arena in Washington D.C.
Roach hails from nearby Upper Marlboro, Maryland.
Further taking control of his own career, the show is presented by NoXcuse Promotions. The company is run by Lamont Roach Sr., also his son’s manager and head trainer.
“Coming home to defend my title is a dream come true,” noted Roach Jr. “I can’t wait to fight in front of so many friends and family. I know he’s (McCrory) coming for my world title, wanting to keep his ‘0’ and make a name for himself.”
Roach (24-1-1, 9 knockouts) won the title in a split decision over Hector Luis Garcia last November 25 in Las Vegas. The Ring’s No. 5-rated junior lightweight floored the unbeaten Dominican in the final round to claim a split decision victory.
The fight took place on a show presented by Premier Boxing Champions (PBC), who stalled out Roach for months.
This time around, the Roach family gets to call the shots. The event is a rare one for ProBox to take place outside of its homebase in the Central Florida region. Hitting the road was commonplace for the group during its first year. The bulk of its shows since then have been staged at ProBox headquarters in Plant City, Florida.
Being presented with the opportunity to host a major title fight is always a welcomed exception.
“ProBoxTV is excited about working with Lamont Roach Sr. and Jr. Both are a success story in and out of the ring,” said ProBoxTV founder and owner Garry Jonas. “They want to do it their way and they want to fight in DC in front of their people.
“We’ve been able to give them the support they need to make it happen on their terms and we’re excited to put on a solid championship production.”
Roach will fight in the greater D.C. area for the first time since November 2017.
Meanwhile, McCrory (16-0, 8 KOs) hits the road for his first career title fight.
The 31-year-old New York-based southpaw from Northern Ireland has stopped five of his past seven opponents. His most recent win came March 15. McCrory halted Carlos Carlson inside of three rounds at Madison Square Garden’s Hulu Theater. The title challenge versus Roach will mark his sixth consecutive stateside appearance.
The co-feature pits unbeaten Lester Martinez (17-0, 15 KOs) of Guatelama versus veteran Ecuadorian contender Carlos Gongora (22-2, 17 KOs).
Also on the show, San Antonio’s Joshua Franco (18-2-3, 8 KOs) ends his brief retirement to return for the first time in just more than a year. The former WBA 115-pound titlist faces Dominican Republic’s Geraldo Valdez (16-1, 11 KOs) in a 10-round bout.
Other undercard bouts:
Jordan Roach, Lamont’s younger brother, makes his pro debut. The 20-year-old former amateur standout will fight in a four-rounder versus an opponent to be determined.
His amateur teammate, Benjamin Johnson, will also turn pro in a scheduled four-round contest.
Upper Marlboro’s Rianna Rios (7-0, 1 KO) returns to the venue where she fought last May 6.
D.C. prospects Deric Davis (3-0, 3 KOs) and David Whitmire (4-0, 3 KOs) also appear in separate four-round contests.
