Bryan Flores is coming home. The Juárez-born super lightweight, ranked No. 10 by the World Boxing Council and No. 14 by the International Boxing Federation, will headline a 10-round main event against unbeaten Panamanian contender Jose Nunez at El Paso County Coliseum on Friday, November 13, marking Flores' return to his border city after years without fighting there.
The 30-year-old Flores carries a 29-1-1 record with 16 knockouts into the bout, according to the El Paso Times. Nunez, ranked No. 6 by the World Boxing Association, enters at 18-0-2 with 8 knockouts, and he arrives with serious momentum. As BoxingScene reported, Nunez scored a dramatic second-round knockout over 2024 Paris Olympic gold medalist Erislandy Alvarez in Santiago, Chile, this past April, capturing the WBA Continental Americas super lightweight title in the process. Alvarez had been 6-0 before Nunez stopped him with a left cross.
Flores has framed the matchup in personal terms. “It's a very evenly matched and tough fight for both of us,” he said, according to the El Paso Times, which also reported that Flores called the bout his world title fight and predicted the action will be explosive and won't go to the judges' scorecards.
A Panamanian Puncher With Range Across Divisions
Nunez, 27, was raised in the Curundú neighborhood of Panama City and built his record competing across weight classes from featherweight up through super lightweight, per BoxingScene. His notable victories, per the El Paso Times, include wins over Alvarez, Alfredo Jorge Luis Soto and Maykol Mendoza.
Flores, for his part, has been busy in 2026, winning a majority decision over Starling Castillo in January and a unanimous decision over Jonathan Navarro in July — his only setback across 31 professional bouts came via a split decision to undefeated contender Lindolfo Delgado in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in August 2024, a fight in which Flores recovered from an early knockdown and, per BoxingScene, many ringside observers felt he had actually earned the decision. The November 13 card will mark his third consecutive appearance on ProBox TV, and while he was born in Juárez, Flores now runs his training camps out of Las Vegas.
Deep International Undercard Backs Up the Main Event
The co-main event pits two-time Mongolian Olympian Tsendbaatar Erdenebat, who is 15-0 with 6 knockouts and ranked No. 10 by the WBC and No. 14 by the IBF, against Tajikistan's Muhammad Yaqubov, a 23-1-1 contender ranked No. 7 by the WBC, in a 10-round junior lightweight bout. Yaqubov's only career defeat came against former world champion O'Shaquie Foster, the same BoxingScene report noted.
Also on the card is a 10-round welterweight bout between undefeated Mexican prospect Ruben Eduardo Aguilar, who carries an 84% knockout ratio into the fight at 24-0-1 with 21 stoppages, and Guido Emmanuel Schramm, who stands at 17-4-3 with 10 knockouts, according to a report from Dan Rafael. An eight-round welterweight matchup rounds things out between Elijah Flores (10-1) and Axl Melendez Salgado (7-1-1).
Streaming, Tickets and a Growing Border Boxing Scene
The Flores-Nunez card will stream live on ProBox TV at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, presented by ProBox Promotions in association with King's Promotions. Tickets are on sale through Ticketmaster starting at $50.
The date adds to a run of high-profile combat sports at the 6,500-seat venue, which Hoodline has reported hosted Red Owl's return for BoxFest XXI in October, following Stephanie Han's WBA Lightweight World Title defenses there in February and May 2025 that drew venue record crowds. Dedicated in May 1942 as a $321,000 livestock arena, the Coliseum is owned by El Paso County and has been operated by the non-profit El Paso Sports Commission since 2003, regularly hosting combat sports, hockey and community events. The Flores-Nunez card underscores El Paso's rising profile as a host city for mid-tier televised fight cards, with a border-bred headliner giving the borderland crowd extra reason to show up.
