OTX Boxing plants its flag in the fight-mad 2300 Arena next Thursday, rolling out a five-fight card that blends local swagger with world-title implications and a dash of Gen-Z showbiz. The June 13 show streams live on DAZN plus OTX’s YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and Victory+ feeds, while fans inside the intimate South Philly venue can toast the action with full bar service.

Center stage belongs to WBA No. 3 super-flyweight contender LeAnna “2Much” Cruz (10-0, 1 KO), who headlines her first OTX event in a ten-round eliminator against Mexico’s rugged Regina “Roni” Chavez (8-5-3, 1 KO). A victory propels Cruz from rising star to mandatory challenger status, marking the latest chapter in Philadelphia’s proud tradition of lower-weight firebrands.

The co-feature keeps hometown bragging rights in play as reigning NABA super-lightweight champion Branden “The Gift” Pizarro (20-1-1, 11 KOs) defends his belt against upset-minded Californian Israel “Bad Ways” Mercado (12-1-2, 7 KOs). For Pizarro, a statement win could fast-track a climb into the WBA top 15; for Mercado, it’s a chance to rip up the script and claim marquee momentum.

Undercard fireworks include the return of fan-friendly puncher Kurt “Scooby” Scoby, who meets veteran spoiler Haskell “Hackman” Rhodes over eight rounds at 140 lbs. Welterweight prospect Tahmir Smalls makes his OTX debut versus durable Floridian Clarence Booth, while the curtain-raiser pits Philly’s own Tyreem “Moo Banga” Haywood against Frank “Bloodhound” Brown in a scheduled four.
