The women’s bouts, promoted by Red Owl Boxing as part of its ‘Boxfest XIX’ show
at El Paso Coliseum, will be headlined by a super flyweight (115 pounds) contest
between former world championship challenger, Christina “The Hell’s Kitchen Kid”
Cruz (6-1) and hard-hitting knockout artist Randee Lynn Morales (6-7, 4 KO’s).
In a super welterweight (154 pounds) matchup, decorated, former amateur champion
Ariana Carrasco (1-0, 1 KO) will collide with professional debut competitor
Chanisse “The Lioness” Jenner.
“We are incredibly proud to bring together such an exceptional lineup of true
warriors. The matchup between Christina Cruz and Randee Lynn Morales embodies
everything Queen of the Ring stands for—elite competition, unwavering
determination, and the opportunity to showcase the incredible talent of women's
boxing on the global stage. This series continues to demonstrate that the future
of the sport is brighter than ever.” said George Chung, CEO of AWSN.
Cruz of New York, N.Y. is a former, eight-time U.S.
national amateur champion and two-time world amateur medalist who is looking to
rebound from a controversial stoppage in her last bout against reigning world
champion Gabriela Fundora.
A veteran of over 200 amateur bouts, Cruz has become a dangerous force in
women’s boxing, known for her classic boxing style and her ability to land hard
punches from the outside while using quick feet to move around her opponents.
Cruz’s opponent, Morales, fights out of Daytona Beach, Fla. and is a native of
Albuquerque, N.M. with a hard right hand. She is coming off a stunning,
51-second knockout of Shynyia Jones on March 13.
The 22-year-old Carrasco, who hails from Las Cruces, N.M., is a U.S. Army
veteran and former 12-time amateur national champion who technically holds the
record for he fastest professional knockout – 1 second – in fight history, after
a bizarre episode in which her scheduled professional debut opponent walked out
of the ring while Carrasco was being introduced by the announcer.
Jenner is a 24-year-old native of Ashford, Kent, U.K. and a former national
amateur champion in England.
With Friday’s event, AWSN will be producing its fifth live ‘Queen of the Ring’
show following its entry into the world of combat sports in partnership with
Manny Pacquiao Promotions in February.
AWSN has since worked with the likes of ‘The Mike Tyson Invitational’ and Juan
Manuel Marquez’s outfit Marquez Promotions, among others, to deliver some of the
best live women’s boxing action of 2026 to viewers in over 60 countries
worldwide.
