Top super lightweight contenders Bryan Flores and Jose Nuñez are slated for a high-stakes 10-round main event on Friday, November 13. The highly anticipated clash, headlining ProBoxTV’s Championship Series, will unfold at the historic El Paso County Coliseum in El Paso, Texas, with live coverage beginning at 8:00 PM ET/5:00 PM PT on ProBoxTV.
This bout pits two hungry, world-ranked fighters against each other, both looking to significantly advance their careers in the competitive 140-pound division. Flores, representing Las Vegas via Mexico, brings his IBF No. 14 and WBC No. 11 rankings into the ring against Panama’s unbeaten Jose Nuñez, who holds a WBA No. 6 ranking.
Bryan Flores Jose Nunez seeks momentum
Bryan Flores, 30 years old with a record of 29-1-1 (16 KOs), is aiming to build on a strong 2026 campaign. Hailing from Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico, Flores has showcased impressive form in his two prior appearances on ProBoxTV this year, underlining the consistent ambition seen across the sport, including David Benavidez’s move to cruiserweight.
He secured a majority decision win against Starling Castillo in January, followed by a dominant unanimous decision over Jonathan Navarro in July. These victories have underlined his potential and demonstrated his ability to perform under the ProBoxTV banner.
Flores’ lone career defeat came in a controversial split decision against undefeated contender Lindolfo Delgado in August 2024. Many observers felt Flores had done enough to earn the victory that night, rallying from an early knockdown to out-fight Delgado in several rounds. But ultimately, the judges sided with Delgado, leaving Flores with a bitter taste.
This upcoming fight offers Flores a crucial opportunity to erase lingering doubts and prove he belongs at the very top of the super lightweight division. A decisive win against a formidable opponent like Jose Nuñez would undeniably propel him closer to a world title challenge.
Unbeaten Nuñez Puts “El Magnífico” Record on the Line
Jose Nuñez, known as “El Magnífico,” enters this bout with an unblemished record of 18-0-2 (8 KOs). The 27-year-old Panamanian, who grew up in the challenging Curundu area of Panama City, has steadily climbed the rankings, showcasing his versatility by fighting across multiple divisions.
His most recent performance was a brutal second-round knockout victory over Erislandy Alvarez in April, where he also claimed the WBA Continental Americas super lightweight title. Nuñez has also secured notable wins against Alfredo Jorge Luis Soto, Maykol Mendoza, Jaime Muñoz, and Omar Salcido.
Nuñez’s undefeated status makes him a particularly dangerous opponent. He’s demonstrated a capacity for finishing fights, and his record suggests a fighter who learns and adapts. Beating a highly-ranked opponent like Flores could be the statement win he needs.
This fight represents a significant step up in competition, even for someone with Nuñez’s impressive track record. His ability to handle the pressure and experience of Flores will be key to maintaining his perfect record and justifying his WBA ranking.
For top contenders looking to make a splash, these high-profile matchups are essential in the dynamic world of boxing, with many fighters making significant career decisions.
Stacked Undercard Features Olympic Talent and Rising Stars
The ProBoxTV Championship Series event isn’t just about the main event; it also features a compelling undercard. The co-main event, a 10-round junior lightweight battle, pits two hard-nosed contenders against each other: Tsendbaatar Erdenebat of Mongolia (15-0, 6 KOs) and Muhammad Yaqubov from Tajikistan (23-1-1, 12 KOs).
Erdenebat, a 29-year-old former elite amateur and two-time Olympian, holds IBF No. 14 and WBC No. 10 rankings. He’s known for his relentless pressuring style and has appeared on ProBoxTV an impressive six times, most recently securing a unanimous decision over Cobia Breedy in May.
Yaqubov, 31, is WBC No. 7-ranked and has proven his mettle with a fearsome body attack and pinpoint counterpunching skills. His only professional defeat came against current WBC super-featherweight champion O’Shaquie Foster in 2022. Yaqubov has also made two appearances on ProBoxTV, including a majority decision over William Foster III and a split draw against Cristian Cruz Chacon.
Welterweight Prospects Look to Shine
Two additional welterweight bouts round out the main card, promising more action for fans. Undefeated Ruben Eduardo Aguilar (24-0-1, 21 KOs) will face tough veteran Guido Emmanuel Schramm (17-4-3, 10 KOs) in a 10-round contest.
Elijah Flores (10-1, 4 KOs) is set to go eight rounds against Axl Melendez Salgado (7-1-1, 4 KOs). These matchups provide a crucial platform for younger fighters to test their skills and climb the welterweight ladder. The development of new talent is always key to the sport’s vitality, just as fans appreciate Canelo Alvarez’s insights into the sport.
ProBoxTV Continues Commitment to Quality Boxing
ProBoxTV, in association with King’s Promotions, is presenting this Championship Series event, further solidifying its place as a dedicated platform for professional boxing. Launched in April 2022, ProBoxTV aimed to address what its founders saw as an “underachieving” state in boxing by offering a fan-centric experience with compelling content and accessible pricing.
The streaming service, co-founded by Garry Jonas alongside boxing legends Roy Jones Jr., Juan Manuel Marquez, Antonio Tarver, and Paulie Malignaggi, transitioned to a $5 monthly subscription model in August 2026. This adjustment allows ProBoxTV to deliver a focused schedule of 12 Championship Series events annually, along with in-studio content and “Future Stars” series events.
Their mission emphasizes evenly matched, high-action fights, intentionally steering clear of bouts featuring “runners, holders, and strictly low-volume punchers.” This commitment to aggressive, fan-friendly matchups is a core tenet of their programming philosophy, often building anticipation similar to a Gervonta Davis’s comeback fight.
The El Paso County Coliseum, a venue with a rich history in combat sports dating back to 1942, is an ideal setting for this event. Having hosted greats like George Foreman and Erik Morales, the 6,500-seat arena has a proven track record of delivering memorable nights. Its storied past only adds to the allure of this latest ProBoxTV offering.
Super Lightweight Division Outlook and Fight Implications
The super lightweight division, contested at 140 pounds, remains one of boxing’s most vibrant and competitive weight classes. With multiple champions across the major sanctioning bodies, including Gary Antuanne Russell (WBA), Dalton Smith (WBC), Richardson Hitchins (IBF), and Teofimo Lopez (WBO), the landscape is ripe for emerging contenders.
Bryan Flores and Jose Nuñez both sit within striking distance of a world title shot. A victory for Flores would not only avenge his controversial loss to Lindolfo Delgado in the minds of many but also significantly elevate his standing, potentially pushing him into the top echelon of WBC and IBF rankings. It would confirm his recent momentum and set him up for bigger fights.
For Nuñez, maintaining his undefeated record against a highly-ranked and experienced opponent like Flores would be a monumental achievement. It would validate his WBA No. 6 ranking and signal his readiness to challenge for a world title. The “El Magnífico” nickname would gain even more credibility if he can conquer a proven fighter like Flores in front of a live El Paso crowd.
Ultimately, this fight is a calculated risk for both men. Neither fighter needs this bout in terms of an easy record booster; instead, they are risking their lofty positions for a chance at true divisional supremacy.
The winner will move one step closer to becoming a mandatory challenger or securing a high-profile eliminator, while the loser will face a more challenging path back to contention. Expect fireworks when these two meet in the middle of the ring.
