FIGHTNIGHT LIVE TO CELEBRATE 25TH SHOW ON SATURDAY, DEC. 1, WITH ROY JONES JR. PROMOTIONS IN SAN ANTONIO PhilBoxing.com Thu, 01 Nov 2018 Fan-friendly, interactive FREE platform to make Texas debut, marking tenth state appearance for the series. Online: https://www.facebook.com/FaceFIGHTNIGHTLIVE/ NEW YORK (Oct. 31, 2018) - Recently eclipsing three-million series views, FIGHTNIGHT LIVE Powered by Everlast is set to hit a few more milestones on Saturday, Dec. 1, in San Antonio, Texas. Partnering once again with the legendary Roy Jones Jr. and Keith Veltre of RJJ Promotions, the interactive, fan-friendly series will hold its 25th show - live from its tenth state of origin - showcasing a pair of undefeated warriors with hardware on the line. Local flair will also be on display on any device wherever Facebook is available beginning at 6:30 p.m. E.T. (5:30 p.m. C.T.). "Roy and I have always felt that live streaming would take the place of the old platforms of delivering fights," stated Keith Veltre, CEO and Co-Founder of Roy Jones Jr. Boxing Promotions. "This will give us the ability to reach millions of boxing fans around the world and enable us to deliver our sponsors a great deal of exposure we would normally get from traditional TV. This series is giving fighters the opportunity to showcase their talent to the world and gain a fan base. We are thrilled that this vision lines up exactly where Roy Jones Jr. Boxing Promotions wants to be." The Saturday, Dec. 1, show from the fabled Scottish Rite Theatre in San Antonio features a 10-round main event between undefeated super lightweights Kendo Castaneda (14-0, 7 KOs) and Gilbert Venegas Jr. (10-0, 6 KOs), who will battle for the vacant WBA-NABA championship. Local favorites Ricky Medina (1-0, 1 KO), Luis Villarreal (3-0-1, 1 KO) and Xavier Wilson (8-0-1, 1 KO) will put their undefeated records on the line as part of a stacked undercard. "Roy Jones Jr. and Keith Veltre have believed in our FIGHTNIGHT LIVE platform from the beginning and we're thrilled to partner with them once again on what will be our 25th show in the series," said Mark Fratto, Principal and Director of Business Development, Linacre Media. "We're also excited to make our series debut in the Lone Star State, the tenth State in the Union for our FIGHTNIGHT LIVE shows. It'll be a hot one in Texas to open our December schedule."
