Florida lightweight Corey Marksman takes on Christian Barreto in the main event on Friday, August 28th in an eight-round clash against Nicaragua’s Bryan Jimenez (18-4, 10 KOs) as part of the first event of Matchroom and DAZN’s ‘Project Series’ at Caribe Royale in Orlando, Florida. Marksman (13-0-1, 9 KOs) gets his wish after he called on promoter Eddie Hearn to give him more opportunities after his last outing at Caribe Royale in March, where he defeated Jaycob Gomez. The 25-year-old took his sixth unbeaten record from his opponents that night and will be out to do it for a seventh time in his second ten-round bout.
The co-feature is an all-Florida affair between two more unbeaten talents as Alex Bray takes on Antraveous ‘Yamz’ Ingram over ten rounds at junior middleweight. Bray (11-0, 8 KOs) went the distance in his first ten round action in February at Caribe Royale. Stil only 20 years old, Bray turned pro in July 2023. Ingram (13-0-1, 7 KOs) fights at Caribe Royale for the eleventh time in a row, and the 27-year old believes that taking Bray’s unbeaten record can see him make a splash in the 154-pound division.
Two more bouts confirmed for the first Project Series card sees lightweight Kaipo Gallegos (12-0-1 9 KOs) take on Desmond Lyons (11-3 2 KOs) over eight rounds and Puerto Rico’s Carlos DeLeon (8-0, 6 KOs) meet Nicaragua’s Maxwel Montes (13-5-1, 7 KOs) over eight rounds at junior lightweight... Also, lightweight Haven Brady Jr. will return to the ring on Friday August 28th in an eight-round clash against Nicaragua’s Bryan Jimenez (18-4, 10 KOs).
