Live Boxing @ Fox Sports en Español.

Kingfish Boxing Productions has agreed to produce a live, bi-monthly boxing series that will broadcast on national U.S. networks Fox Sports en Español and Fox Sports World, and also on Fox Sports Latin America during 2003. The boxing series will be rotated into Fox Sports en Español’s signature “Boxeo de Campeones” (“Championship Boxing”) program currently seen on Mondays at 8:00 p.m. PT. The first Kingfish Boxing event will commence on January 13. Fox Sports World and Fox Sports Latin America will announce their schedule at a later date.

The 24-event fight series will feature world-class fighters in all weight divisions with emphasis on Latino boxers from the United States and South America, such as former WBC Super Bantamweight Champion Guillermo Jorrin, NABF Lightweight Champion Juan Lazcano, and Super Lightweight Juan Carlos Rubio, who just upset Olympian Francisco “Panchito” Bojado and is due to fight Ricardo Williams on February 15, 2003. The majority of the events will be broadcast from the Pontchartrain Center in Kenner, Louisiana, and the Cajun Dome in
Lafayette, Louisiana.

“Fox Sports en Español has built a large and loyal following for boxing on Monday nights through our series, and we anticipate that the new productions will be well received by avid boxing fans across the U.S. and Latin America,” said David Sternberg, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Fox Sports International.
