ORLANDO, FL (December 15, 2025) – Two of Boxlab Promotions’ top rising stars delivered powerful statements Saturday night at the Caribe Royale Resort during “Night of Champions XIII”, a signature event of the 104th Annual World Boxing Association (WBA) Convention. The sold-out card streamed live on Boxlab Promotions’ official YouTube channel, featuring matchups and electric performances, by Kevin Brown (9-0, 3 KOs) and Yoenis “El Bandolero” Tellez (11-1, 8 KOs).
Kevin Brown Defends WBA Continental North American Title
In a masterclass display of boxing skill and tactical dominance, undefeated super lightweight Kevin Brown cruised to a unanimous decision victory over the experienced Amos Cowart (13-3-1, 10 KOs), a late replacement. The judges scored the bout 100-90 across the board, as Brown controlled the pace from start to finish, using sharp footwork, slick defense, and pinpoint combinations to neutralize Cowart’s offense.
With the victory, Brown, who is co-promoted with Warriors Boxing, successfully defended his WBA Continental North American Super Lightweight Title, reinforcing his place as one of the division’s most promising young fighters.
After the fight, Brown reflected confidently on his dominant performance.
“I felt in control from the opening bell,” Brown said. “Cowart's a tough veteran, but I knew if I stuck to my fundamentals, stayed sharp, and dictated the tempo, I could shut him down, and that’s exactly what I did. This was another step forward for me. Staying undefeated and defending my title in a clean sweep just shows that I’m on the right path. I want to be back in the ring as soon as possible, maybe early spring 2026. I’m hungry to keep pushing up the ranks and proving I belong at the top.”
Yoenis Tellez Returns to Form with Statement Knockout Over Castaneda
In a scheduled 8-round bout, WBA #4-ranked super welterweight Yoenis “El Bandolero” Tellez bounced back from his first career loss in emphatic fashion, stopping the always-game Kendo Castaneda (21-13, 9 KOs) in the fifth round.
From the opening bell, Tellez, who is also co-promoted with Warriors Boxing, imposed his will, applying consistent pressure and walking Castaneda down with a mix of power shots and relentless body work. By round five, the accumulation proved too much, prompting the referee to step in and wave off the contest.
“I needed this one, not just for my record, but for my spirit,” Tellez said. “After my last fight, I went back to the gym with a chip on my shoulder. I made adjustments, put in the hard work, and it all paid off. Getting the knockout felt great, but more than that, I felt like myself again. I’m still one of the best in this division, and this was just the beginning of my comeback. I want to stay active and be back in the first quarter of 2026. The goal is a world title — nothing less.”
Amaury Piedra, President of Boxlab Promotions, praised both fighters for their impressive performances and potential to lead the next generation of contenders. “Kevin Brown showed why he’s one of the most technically sound prospects in the sport,” said Piedra. “He made a quality opponent look outclassed, and that’s not easy to do. As for Tellez…what a comeback. He showed the heart of a real warrior and reminded everyone why he’s ranked in the top 5 by the WBA. Both of these young men have incredibly bright futures, and we at Boxlab are proud to be part of their journeys.”
“Night of Champions XIII” once again showcased Boxlab Promotions’ commitment to developing elite talent on the world stage. With Brown remaining undefeated and Tellez back in the win column, fans can expect even bigger matchups in 2026 as both fighters set their sights on championship gold.
