The eight-round fight will be featured as part of a five-fight main card that will stream live globally on DAZN in more than 200 territories and regions from the state-of-the-art “Owl’s Nest” in Houston.

Red Owl Boxing’s Box Fest series is a breeding ground for boxing’s future stars with each event featuring a pro debut, a fighter seeking redemption from their first career defeat and a main event bout that will crown a champion, catapulting their career to the next level. The Box Fest series will take center stage on the first Friday of every month.
Jackson (19-1, 12 KOs), hailing from Atlanta, returns to the ring on a mission to earn a position as a super bantamweight contender. In his most recent outing, Jackson stopped Donny Garcia in a rematch of their 2018 fight that Jackson won via decision. Since his lone defeat in 2020, Jackson has earned a three-fight winning streak including a win over a tough, once-beaten Yonatan Guzman Pena on the undercard of a Top Rank-promoted event in New York City.
Bastar (18-2-1, 9 KOs) of Cancun, Mexico, is seeking redemption of his own following just the second loss of his career and the only loss since his second professional fight in 2014. Prior to dropping a decision to Jose Ramirez Maciel in his last outing, the southpaw rode a three fight knockout streak. Holding more than a three-inch height and reach advantage, Bastar looks to get back in the win column in his U.S. debut.
