Fight fans can witness every explosive knockout and drama-dripped decision from regional rising stars – as well as the 10,000-plus events streamed annually by FloSports via the web, the FloSports App, or services like AppleTV, Roku, FireTV, Vizio and others – for as little as $12.50 per month. Fight fans can subscribe with a monthly or annual membership today at https://www.FloSports.tv/ to be ready for a full slate of FIGHTNIGHT LIVE events in 2021-22.
“As we all adapt to the continuing effects of this global pandemic, FIGHTNIGHT LIVE remains committed to helping boxers safely get back into the ring, and entertaining fight fans everywhere in the most-affordable manner possible,” said Mark Fratto, Principal and Director of Business Development, Linacre Media. “We’re proud to partner with FloSports and with their financial support, bolster regional promoters and their abilities to conduct events. Our series lives on, and we hope it will provide more opportunities for up-and-coming fighters under this new umbrella.”
Fratto continued, “We’re excited to begin our multi-event FloCombat partnership on Saturday with the heavy-hitting Shinard Bunch and the many Philly and Jersey prospects that Rodney Rice has on the card, which should be a great one called by the incomparable Michael Woods, two-time world champion Steve ‘USS’ Cunningham and veteran broadcaster Marc Abrams.”
“We are excited about bringing FIGHTNIGHT LIVE to FloSports, and specifically FloCombat,” said Lindsey Ross, Director of Global Rights & Acquisition at FloSports. “If 2020 taught us anything, it's that fans are craving for their sports to return and we look forward to providing that home for all FIGHTNIGHT fans across the globe.”
Junior welterweight prospect Bunch (13-1, 12 KOs) will take on tough veteran Cameron Krael in the eight-round main event on Saturday, headlining a six-bout RDR Promotions card. Bunch, 21 of Trenton, N.J., has kept an ambitious scheduled as he will be fighting for the 14th time in 22 months, and Saturday marks his fourth fight already in 2021. The 27 year-old Krael (17-17-3, 4 KOs) is a 10-year veteran who has more then held his own against top competition, which includes a staggering 17 undefeated opponents, including world champions Maurice Hooker and Jamal James. Rashiem Jefferson Jr. (4-0) of Philadelphia, Nahir Albright (9-1, 3 KOs) of Sicklerville, N.J., undefeated cruiserweight Jakub Sowirko (2-0, 1 KO) of Trenton, N.J. and Nasir Mickens (1-0, 1 KO) of Philadelphia will also be featured.
“I think this is a very intriguing card with some step up fights for some of boxing’s future stars,” said Rodney Riceof RDR Promotions. “This is a ‘Special Night of Boxing’ that the spectators will remember, and those who miss it will want to see later. So, our teaming up with FIGHTNIGHT LIVE will make that possible.”
