Boxlab Promotions returns to the Caribe Royale in Orlando, Florida with a fourteen-fight card on Saturday, October 15th. Those unable to attend in person can watch the card on Fite.Tv. Headlining is a ten-round junior welterweight contest between Kevin Hayler Brown (3-0 including the World Series of Boxing) and Adriano Ramirez (12-4 with 7 KOs). Fighting out of Las Vegas by way of Cuba, Brown turned pro in August and demolished former lightweight contender Jose Alfaro in two rounds. The 28-year-old’s aggressive style and willingness to face quality opposition from the get-go earned him recognition among fans as a fighter to keep an eye on.
Living and fighting out of Jarabacoa, Dominican Republic, Ramirez is riding a two-fight win streak and is confident he’ll make it three in a row against Brown.
Also on the show, Orlando native Derrick “Diesel” Jackson faces his heavy-handed Damian “El Pollero” Bonelli (24-11) of Buenos Aires in a junior middleweight matchup.

In his first fight under new trainer Herman Caicedo, Jackson stopped Marklin Bailey in August and will fight in his first eight rounder against Bonelli.
Known for his conditioning and iron chin, Bonelli has faced many top fighters including Maciej Sulecki, Carlos Gongora, Magomed Kurbanov, Fidor Czerkaszyn and Yamaguchi Falcao. On December 4, 2020, Bonelli scored a career-best victory by decisioning 23-0 Derrieck Cuevas.
