An arena dedicated exclusively to the production of live televised boxing events is coming to North Houston in 2027.<\/p>\n

Red Owl Boxing<\/a>\u00a0had been renting a space in Northwest Houston where it put on 17 events between 2021-25.\u00a0The Owl\u2019s Nest will be a 25,000-square foot arena off FM-1960, about six miles from George Bush Intercontinental Airport.<\/p>\n

Red Owl, which streams fights on DAZN,\u00a0plans for the venue to host 21 televised boxing events the first two years it\u2019s open.<\/p>\n

\u201cHouston is a phenomenal city for boxing, and an arena of our own allows us to deliver consistency at the highest level in terms of fan experience, fighter experience and in-house operations,\u201d Red Owl Boxing executive chairman\u00a0Gabriel\u00a0Fanous said.<\/p>\n

Red Owl Boxing actually is a media company that packages its fights so they\u2019ll be TV friendly while focusing on young fighters and a lively presentation for fans in the building. The company has put on five of\u00a0the last eight fights of Houston super lightweight Giovanni Marquez<\/a>, the son of former world champion Raul Marquez.<\/p>\n

The new arena will be built with that in mind, including a mezzanine level with luxury suites, larger outdoor bays for TV trucks, green rooms for content creation and enhanced staging for the fighters’ walks to the ring.<\/p>\n

The company appointed Greg Bloom as its new CEO on Wednesday. Bloom, a Miami-based attorney, most recently was CEO at Bareknuckle Boxing (BKB), which has had media deals with\u00a0Telemundo, Vice TV, TalkSport, BeIn Sports and Fuse TV.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An arena dedicated exclusively to the production of live televised boxing events is coming to North Houston in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":621322,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-621321","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/621321","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=621321"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/621321\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/621322"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=621321"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=621321"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=621321"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
