DAZN’s cameras roll into the Avalon Hollywood on Thursday, May 22 for Championing Mental Health: A Night of Boxing - a charity show pairing Southern California talent with a mission to fund year-long therapy access for every fighter on the bill. Backed by 555 Media, Bash Boxing, Athletes for Hope and the WBC, the event places mental wellness front-and-center in a sport that rarely talks about it.
Lightweight prospect Jonny “Magic” Mansour (4-0, 2 KOs) headlines against Nevada spoiler Christian Avalos (3-2-2, 0 KOs) over six rounds. Mansour’s blend of slick footwork and knockout timing has produced four wins in twelve months, and promoter Steve Bash believes the San Diego southpaw “can carry the cause with a statement performance.”
Co-feature duty falls to former amateur phenom Vic “Vicious” Pasillas (17-1, 10 KOs), returning after a year out to battle Atlanta’s heavy-handed Carlos Jackson (20-2, 13 KOs) in an eight-round featherweight firefight, while Wild Card welter Ricardo Ruvalcaba (13-0-1, 10 KOs) risks his unbeaten run against Argentine veteran Luis Alberto Verón (20-10, 9 KOs).
Every competitor leaves with a year of free counselling via Athletes for Hope, and WBC ambassador Mia St. John will lead an in-ring tribute to those lost to mental-health struggles. Tickets start at $75 through 555media.com, with DAZN’s global stream going live at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT.
