In a significant development for Puerto Rico’s sports and entertainment scene, the Coca-Cola Music Hall is preparing to host its first boxing event on Friday, October 18. This landmark occasion, dubbed ‘Big Time Boxing – Puerto Rico,’ is the result of a collaboration between Salita Promotions, PR Best Boxing Promotions (PRBBP), and 21 Events, and will be streamed live worldwide on DAZN, the global leader in world championship boxing.
The event is part of Salita Promotions’ renowned ‘Big Time Boxing USA’ series, which is known for developing promising prospects and young contenders on their path to world championship status. This initiative aims to discover and nurture the next generation of boxing superstars from Puerto Rico, an island with a rich history of producing world-class fighters.
Dmitriy Salita, president of Salita Promotions, expressed his enthusiasm for the project, stating, ‘Puerto Rico has been the cradle of boxing greatness for generations, producing some of the greatest stars the sport has ever seen. I am excited to partner with PR Best and 21 Events to develop and discover the next superstars ready to emerge from this great island.’
The fight card, which will feature up to eight exciting matches, is set to be revealed in the coming days. Boxing enthusiasts and sports fans are encouraged to stay tuned for more information, which will be available on www.ticketera.com and the venue’s official website, www.cocacolamusichall.com.
The Coca-Cola Music Hall, which opened its doors in 2021, has quickly established itself as a world-class venue, hosting top Latin American and international artists. Managed by ASM Global and located in the heart of DISTRITO T-Mobile, the hall’s first boxing event underscores its versatility and ability to accommodate diverse entertainment options.
Jorge L. Pérez, Regional General Manager of ASM Global in Puerto Rico, commented on the significance of the event: ‘We are honored to host our first boxing event at the Coca-Cola Music Hall. This historic event highlights the versatility of our venue, proving it can accommodate a diverse array of events. We are ready to welcome the fans for what will undoubtedly be a memorable night.’
Iván Rivera, president of PRBBP, drew parallels to a similar milestone two decades ago, saying, ‘Just as it was 20 years ago when we held the first boxing event in the then new Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot, now we are presenting the first sports event in the great Coca-Cola Music Hall with Salita Promotions and 21 Events.’
The event also represents a significant opportunity for Puerto Rico to showcase its boxing talent and venue capabilities to a global audience. Mariela Vallines, Executive Director of the Puerto Rico Convention Center District Authority (PRCCDA), emphasized the importance of this exposure: ‘We at the PRCCDA are proud to present Championship Boxing at the Coca-Cola Music Hall for the first time ever and to promote Puerto Rico worldwide via the DAZN streaming network.’
This historic boxing event at the Coca-Cola Music Hall marks a new chapter in Puerto Rico’s sporting landscape. It not only demonstrates the venue’s adaptability but also reinforces Puerto Rico’s position as a hub for world-class boxing talent. As the island continues to produce exceptional fighters, events like these provide crucial platforms for emerging stars to showcase their skills on a global stage.
The collaboration between Salita Promotions, PR Best Boxing Promotions, and 21 Events brings together a wealth of experience in boxing promotion and event management.
