Edgar Berlanga and Hamzah Sheeraz will face off in the main event of a big boxing card at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens on Saturday, July 12. But the fight that might steal the show happens earlier in the night.
WBC lightweight world champion Shakur Stevenson puts his perfect 23-0 record on the line against William Zepeda, who's also undefeated at 33-0. The clash of styles between these two southpaws promises to be something special.
Stevenson brings surgical precision to the ring. Zepeda counters with overwhelming volume - he threw almost a thousand punches in his last title defense.
Zepeda told Mexico the pugilist: "The fans are going to see what kind of boxer I am. I have worked very hard to be able to reach my maximum level."
Stevenson's not fazed. When he fought Josh Warrington in England back in March, he said: "I'm ready for anything. I know what I have, who I am and where I want to be."
The atmosphere in Louis Armstrong Stadium will be electric. With two undefeated fighters putting it all on the line, fans can expect a night of high-energy boxing that'll keep them on the edge of their seats.
