The first collaboration, being televised live on CBS Sports, will debut June 22 at 7 p.m. in Cleveland at CSU’s Wolstein Center and will include an international fight card featuring Froilan Saludar (30-3) of the Philippines and USA’s Dewayne Beamon (16-1) clashing for the 115-pound title. Canadian Super Welterweight Cody Crowley (17-0) will go toe-to-toe with Irishman Alfredo Meli (16-0) from England for the 154-pound title and Cotto Promotions’ own Jose Martinez (20-1) from Puerto Rico will be featured in a Super Flyweight bout.
“Working with the former champ and his promotions team is a great honor,” said E Jay Mathews, CEO of Bigger Than Life Entertainment. “We have aligned our team to present world-class boxing across the globe and partnering with Miguel allows us to better position ourselves with brands across diverse categories.”
