ProBox TV is set to host its most significant boxing event to date on Wednesday, August 28, 2024, at the Whitesands Events Center in Plant City, Florida. While initial reports suggested a late August date in Los Angeles, official scheduling from the promotion confirms the event is headlined by a championship clash between WBA Continental Americas super lightweight champion Orestes Velazquez and Chann Thonson.
Fight Card Details and Main Event
The main event features Orestes Velazquez (9-0, 8 KOs) defending his WBA Continental Americas title against the undefeated Canadian contender Chann Thonson (16-0, 13 KOs). This bout represents a significant step up for both fighters, as they look to maintain their unblemished records in the competitive 140-pound division.
According to the official ProBox TV schedule, the card is designed to showcase rising talent within the promotion’s stable. The broadcast is available globally via the ProBox TV app and its official website.
Why This Event Matters for the Division
ProBox TV has positioned itself as a platform for "Future Stars" of boxing. By matching two undefeated prospects like Velazquez and Thonson, the promotion is following its established model of avoiding "stay-busy" fights in favor of competitive matchups.
This bout follows the promotion’s recent trend of hosting cards in Plant City, which has become the primary hub for their televised events. Unlike major pay-per-view spectacles that rely on established household names, this card focuses on the depth of the super lightweight rankings, where a win for either fighter could lead to a top-15 world ranking with major sanctioning bodies.
