The sixth edition of “Boxing For You” will be the first boxing event in Latin America to be aired by the streaming company.

The “Boxing For You VI”, being staged by the biggest promotional company in Brazil, will be the first fighting event broadcasted from Latin America by DAZN.

The OTT giant will split the broadcasting rights of the upcoming show, on August 11th, with the three biggest cable sports channels in Brazil.

It’s the first incursion of DAZN in the Brazilian market and it will start with a bang as Brazilian star, Adriana Araujo (3-0, 1 KO’s) fights for the female Latino WBC super lightweight title against Argentinean Yamila Abellaneda (6-3, 3 KO’s) in the main event.

Araujo is an idol in Brazil since bringing home the Bronze medal in the London 2012 Olympic Games. Alongside with Yamaguchi and EsquivaFalcao,  Arajuno broke Brazil's 44 year curse, which the country suffered by being unable to conquer an Olympic medal in boxing.

Adriana, who’s big punch knocked down the likes of Katie Taylor as an amateur (in 2010, even though she lost a 16-10 decision), tried to repeat the glory in the 2016 Rio games, but failed, and then turned pro in 2017. She always fought under the “Boxing For You” brand, and is pursuing a world title shot already for this year, calling out Jessica McCaskill, the WBC/WBA champion of her division.

In the co-main event, Robson Conceicao’s stablemate, Robenilson De Jesus (2-0), who took part in three editions of the Olympics and was the Military Games world champion before going pro, will take on Chilean Robinson Lavinanza (13-4-2, 5 KO’s) in an eight round, super bantamweight bout. If he wins, Robenilson is due to go after the Latin title.

The undercard contains five more fights, with some of the best prospects in the country. BSM Group control “Boxing For You” and has a longtime plan for those young fighters, trying to bring up some new names to the same level as Acelino “Popo” Freitas and Eder Jofre.

In the last edition of their fight series, they brought in Top Rank promoted Olympic medalists Esquiva Falcao and Robson Conceicao as the headliners in a ring mounted by the sea in Portobello Resort & Safari, which generated a lot of attention from the local and international media.

The “Boxing For You VI” will take place at the Arena de Lutas Sao Paulo, in Sao Paulo.
