Boxing Buzz in Orlando: MVP Fight Night Brings Global Ringside Action (August 23)

If youโ€™re planning your Orlando weekend and want to add a dash of high-energy world-class action to your itineraryโ€”especially for teens or sports-curious familiesโ€”MVP Fight Night at Caribe Royale is one of the most exciting storylines in town right now. This Saturday, August 23, the venue transforms into Orlandoโ€™s very own boxing arenaโ€”airing live globally on DAZN.

Hereโ€™s what makes it a standout event for families who love a little competition and drama (with a whole dose of prestige):

At the heart of the action? The main event features Yankiel โ€œEl Doctorcitoโ€ Rivera, Puerto Ricoโ€™s undefeated flyweight sensation (7-0, 3 KOs), facing Venezuelaโ€™s own unbeaten Angelino โ€œHuracรกnโ€ Cordova (19-0-1, 12 KOs) for the WBA interim flyweight world title.

Thatโ€™s not allโ€”in the co-main bout, Yoenis โ€œEl Bandoleroโ€ Tellez defends his WBA interim super welterweight title against Germanyโ€™s Abass Baraou.

And thereโ€™s even more to keep eyes on: three womenโ€™s title fights featuring Stephanie Han, Jasmine Artiga, and other top stars. Itโ€™s a stacked card full of powerful matches, streamed live on DAZN with exactly the kind of global flair Orlando knows how to welcome.

Why families might love it (even without stepping into the ring):

  • Inspiration meets drama: Watching athletes at the top of their game fighting for world titles can spark conversations with older kids about hard work, focus, and dedication.
  • Cultural celebration: With top fighters from Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Cuba, Germany, and more, itโ€™s a lesson in diversity and international competition.
  • Safe spectator thrills: Prefer to skip crowded venues? Invite the teens over for a โ€œboxing night at homeโ€, complete with popcorn, chili, and hometown team flagsโ€”much easier than dragging everyone to a full-on stadium.

Family Planning Tips:

  • How to watch: Tune into DAZN starting at 8:00 PM ET on Saturdayโ€”great timing if you want to cap off the evening with something exciting.
  • Double feature weekend: This event wraps up a back-to-back boxing weekendโ€”Friday, August 22 hosts Most Valuable Prospects 14, followed by Fight Night on Saturday.
  • Local buzz to explore: Even if you donโ€™t attend, checking out Caribe Royale in photos beforehand or grabbing a snack nearby helps build the sense of placeโ€”itโ€™s a convert-ready memory even without tickets.
  • Talk makeovers: After the bouts, discuss sportsmanship, goal-setting, or even what teenagers find cool about live sportsโ€”great family chat starters.

What kids tell me afterward: Some of my teen readers say itโ€™s like watching a superhero movieโ€”but real. One shared, โ€œSeeing Rivera and Cordova go 12 intense rounds? That epic determination stuck with me.โ€ And parents love that itโ€™s both thrilling and safeโ€”no crowded stadium, just a screen and the energy of a global audience.
