Bray (10-0, 8 KOs) faces Argentina’s Rodrigo Damian Coria live on Boxlab Promotions YouTube

ORLANDO, FL (February 18, 2026) — Boxlab Promotions undefeated super welterweight prospect Alex Bray (10-0, 8 KOs) is entering the most important fight of his young career as he prepares to face Argentina’s Rodrigo Damian Coria (15-7, 3 KOs) for the WBA Continental Latin American Title. The 10-round bout takes place this Friday, February 20, 2026, at the Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, Florida, as part of an action-packed card streamed live worldwide on the Boxlab Promotions YouTube channel, giving fans global access to one of boxing’s rising prospects.

A GRUELING TRAINING CAMP IS COMPLETE

With an 80% knockout ratio and growing momentum, Bray sees this opportunity as a defining step toward title contention. Bray recently wrapped up an intense and disciplined training camp, and the undefeated prospect believes this preparation has elevated his mindset and performance to another level. Reflecting on camp, Bray spoke with conviction.

“This camp has been different. I’ve pushed myself mentally and physically like never before. We tightened up all aspects of my game. I’m not just training to win rounds…I trained to dominate every sparring session. Every day in camp felt like a fight. That’s the mentality I’m carrying into Orlando. I’m hungry, I’m locked in, and I’m ready to make a statement.”

RESPECT FOR CORIA, FOCUS ON DOMINANCE

Standing across the ring will be battle-tested Argentine veteran Rodrigo Damian Coria, who brings experience and toughness into the matchup. Bray isn’t overlooking the challenge and is taking this fight very seriously. But Bray made it clear that he’s coming to control the narrative.

“Coria is experienced. He’s been in there with different styles, and that makes him dangerous. Any time you fight someone with that kind of experience, you have to stay sharp. I respect him, but this is my moment. I’m younger, I’m explosive, and I’m evolving with every fight. I plan to break him down and show that I’m ready for the next level.”

FIGHTING FOR THE WBA CONTINENTAL LATIN AMERICAN TITLE

For Bray, the WBA Continental Latin American Title represents more than just a belt, it represents progression.

“This title is a steppingstone toward something bigger. It shows I’m moving up the ladder and positioning myself in the rankings. I’ve worked too hard to let this opportunity slip. When you fight for a belt, it means something. It adds pressure, but I welcome that pressure. Champions rise in moments like this.”

WHAT A WIN MEANS FOR HIS CAREER

At just 10-0, Bray understands that a dominant performance on February 20 could open major doors in the 154-pound division. He concluded with determination.

“A big win here puts me in the conversation with all the top prospects and contender. It shows I’m not just another undefeated prospect…I’m a real threat at 154. This fight is about taking the next step forward in my career. It’s about building my name, my brand, and my legacy. February 20, I’m coming to make a statement the whole division can’t ignore.”
