HOUSTON, Texas – January 5, 2024 – Red Owl Boxing today announced
that rising welterweight prospects Quashawn Toler and Vlad Panin will
meet for the WBA Continental Welterweight Title in the main event of
_Box Fest VII_ on February 2. The event streams live globally on DAZN
[2] in more than 200 territories and regions from the state-of-the-art
“Owl’s Nest” in Houston. VIP experience packages and general
admission tickets are now available at www.redowlboxing.com [3].

Red Owl Boxing’s_ Box Fest_ series is a breeding ground for boxing’s
future stars with each event featuring a pro debut, a fighter seeking
redemption from their first career defeat and a main event bout that
will crown a champion, catapulting their career to the next level. The
_Box Fest _series will take center stage on the first Friday of every
month.

Toler (17-1, 12 KOs) is stepping up to face the most difficult opponent
of his eight-year professional career as he makes his Red Owl Boxing
debut. The Cincinnati native fought only once in 2023, a dominating
third-round knockout against veteran Alexander Monterrosa. In 2022,
Toler fought five times including three knockout victories on the road
in Colombia. The 31-year-old returns to the United States with a mission
to insert himself into the contender picture at 147 pounds.

“This fight is very important to me and it gives me a chance to put my
name In the mix of fighters to look out for,” said Toler. “This
fight will put me one step closer to getting everything I’ve been
striving for in boxing. I deserve to be on that superstar level. My
opponent has never fought anyone like me and he is just another hurdle
in the way of me making my dreams come true so I must knock him out. I
will punch the snooze button on him, live on February 2 on DAZN. This is
the perfect platform for me to officially introduce myself to those who
may have not heard of me yet.”

Panin (17-1, 10 KOs) returns to the ring after a similarly quiet 2023
but looks to make a statement as he also enters the ring against his
most accomplished opponent to date. The 28-year-old made his Red Owl
Boxing debut in 2022 at the Brampton, Canada arena with an impressive
first-round knockout over Ricardo Lara. The Gomel, Belarus-native who
lives and trains in Southern California, is currently riding a
five-fight knockout streak.

“Thank you to Red Owl Boxing for the opportunity to display my skills
in a great main event,” said Panin. “On February 2, I’m gonna show
everybody why they’ve all been avoiding me and put the whole
welterweight division on notice.”

_BOX FEST VI _will feature multiple attractions including rising
prospects, gritty veterans and action-packed fights, beginning at 8:30
p.m. ET/7:30 p.m. CT. Subscribe at DAZN.com and download the app on any

excited to return on February 2 with a strong lineup of prospects and
future contenders in truly competitive matchups,” said Gabriel Fanous,
President of Red Owl Boxing. “Credit to all the fighters for taking
difficult fights and daring to be great, which is at the core of our
