OTX – Overtime’s boxing platform – is back in action with a slate of matches featuring some of the most promising next generation fighters, Friday, August 11th at OTE Arena in Atlanta and live on DAZN around the world.
The main event sees undefeated Albert Bell (23-0-0) out of Toledo, OH facing off against Presco Carcosia (10-2-1) in a Super Featherweight fight. Bell looks to continue his march towards contention, with Carcosia looking for the upset on the big stage.
In the co-main event, Raul “Money” Salomone (12-1-0) out of Long Beach, CA will fight Tyler “Hercules” Howard (19-1-0) out of Crossville, TN. Both fighters have one loss on their record and will work to keep it that way.
David Navarro (5-1) out of Los Angeles, CA and D’Angelo Fuentes (8-1) out of Coconut Creek, FL are set to square off in the Super Lightweight division. Navarro comes from a boxing lineage; his uncle Jose Navarro was a US Olympian and World Title contender and his Uncle Carlos was the last American fighter to beat Floyd Mayweather in the amateurs.
After making waves in the boxing space as an amateur, Giovanni Marquez (5-0-0) trained by his father, former Olympic and World Champion Raul, will look to stay undefeated against New Jersey’s Nicky “The Bull” Vitone (9-2-1).
“Cool Girl” Steph Chavez (2-0-0) in just her third pro-fight will try to keep her perfect record, but will face Devaney “La Flacka” Torres (0-1-0), searching for her first professional victory.
At just 19 years-old, and the youngest fighter signed by the legendary Mayweather Promotions, David “Dynamite” Lopez (3-0-0) out of Oakland, CA will be fighting native New Yorker, Joseph Suero, who also spends time as a stuntman.
OTX has set out to bring fans closer to fighters than ever before through stories from outside the ring alongside glory within, opting for an innovative and fan friendly rule set while respecting the essence of the sweet science.
OTX is implementing an Overtime Round. If there is a draw on the judges’ scorecards after the regularly scheduled rounds, there will be an additional “winner takes all” round. This allows the fighter to take their fate into their own hands and for the victory.
To incentivize the fighters, OTX is also offering a unique KO Bonus for every fight on the card. A KO in any round is rewarded, but there is a multiplier effect if the KO is in the first or last round to create a more compelling fight for fans from start to finish. On top of the KO bonuses OTX is opting for an 18×18 ft ring versus the standard 20-22 square foot sizes which means extra action.
All the fights will air exclusively on DAZN. For more information, visit https://otboxing.com/
