The June 25 event features a Premier Boxing Champions on NBCSN tripleheader that is headlined by a clash of rising super welterweight prospects Justin DeLoach and Junior Castillo. Televised coverage begins at 11 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT and features unbeaten Ryan “Cowboy” Karl against Mexico’s Luis “Muecas” Solis plus a battle of unbeaten prospects as Darwin Price takes on Semajay Thomas.

Further undercard bouts will see Orlando-born prospect Justin Pauldo (6-1, 4 KOs) take on Phoenix’s Jesus Aguinaga (4-3-1) in six-rounds of lightweight action, the pro debut of Houston’s Laurynas Arbaciauskas in a four-round super lightweight battle against Corpus Christi’s Omar Reyes (1-3) and England’s Steve Woodall (10-1-1, 7 KOs) in a six-round lightweight bout.

Rounding out an exciting night of fights are a slew of unbeaten San Antonio-prospects as Kendo Castaneda (9-0, 3 KOs) enters the ring in welterweight action, Brandon Soto (1-0, 1 KO) against Texas-native John Van Meter (0-1) in a four-round super featherweight clash, unbeaten super featherweight Brandin Chaulker (3-0, 1 KO) in a four-round bout against Daniel Arriaga (0-2-2) and a four-round super middleweight attraction between fighters making their pro debuts as Tommy Kamara battles Rynell Riley.

The brother of former world champion Omar, the 19-year-old Figueroa turned pro in May of last year by defeating Hector Gutierrez and followed that up by stopping Ricardo Mena, Ramiro Ruiz and Francisco Muro to close out the year.

The Weslaco-native has stayed busy in 2016 picking up three more victories via stoppage over Harold Reyes, Jahaziel Vazquez and Jonell Nieves. He will be opposed by the 28-year-old Landin from Havana, Cuba, who made his U.S. debut in February by knocking out Alex Roman in Florida.
