Luis Ortiz returns next week

Boxing returns to Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, Florida, as Boxlab Promotions presents a show on Friday, September 19th featuring a ten-round junior welterweight bout between Cuba's Kevin Brown (7-0, 3 KOs) and Mexico's Juan Meza Angulo (9-2, 6 KOs). The event will stream live on BXNGTV, and tickets are on sale now at ticketmaster.com.  In the eight-round co-feature, former heavyweight world title challenger Luis “King Kong” Ortiz (34-3, 29 KOs) will make his return to the ring against local man Phillip Penson (8-4-3, 2 KOs), from Orlando, FL. Ortiz lost a very close fight to Andy Ruiz in 2022 and has fought only one low-level opponent since then.
 
“This is one of the most stacked cards we’ve ever put together,” said Amaury Piedra, President of Boxlab Promotions. “From the top of the main card to the young guns on the undercard, fans are going to get a full night of action. Kevin Brown is one of the most technically gifted young fighters in boxing today, and we’re thrilled to have him in a real step-up fight against a dangerous opponent like Angulo. This is what championship boxing is all about.”
 
“We’re also very excited about our young lightweight prospect, Kaipo Gallegos, who we co-promote with Shuan Boxing.” Piedra added. “Gallegos is must watch TV with his aggressive fighting style. He’s a powerful, fan-friendly fighter who’s developing quickly. Both he and Kevin represent the future of the sport—and that future is bright.”
