Louis Armstrong stadium to the host of Berlang, Stevenson fighting on July 12

Published

on

The Ring Magazine announced on Wednesday that the card from July 12, headed by Edgar Berlang vs. Hamzah Sheeraz and Shakur Stevenson defending the WBC lightweight championship against William Zepeda will take place at the Louis Armstrong stadium in Queens, Modern York.

The Ring Magazine 3 event will be broadcast to Dazn and will be served as the premiere event of the upcoming TV program Ring “Inside the Ring”.

The Louis Armstrong stadium was opened in 2018 and mainly tennis events, including the US Open. The place will accommodate nearly 15,000 and has a buried roof, which will be necessary for the organization of a boxing event in the summer. This is the first tennis stadium that has a roof and naturally ventilated.

Although the defense of Stevenson titles will be treated as the main event throughout the whole week of fighting, it will be a great -the average fight of Berlang from Sheeraz, which closes the program.

Stevenson (23-0, 11 KO) goes down from the ninth round of TKO in February over the tardy deputy Josh Padley, while Zepeda (33-0, 27 KO) defeated Tevin Farmer in March. Berlanga (23-1, 18 KO) will return to action for the first time since he abandons the unilateral decision about Canelo Alvarez in September last year. Sheeraz from England (21-0-1, 17 KO) fought with the controversial draw with the Middle Libra Master Carlos Adames in February.

Ring Magazine 3 will take place the day after a very anticipated fight with the trilogy between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, which will also take place in Modern York at Madison Square Garden.

Tim Bradley Predicts Devin Haney vs. Keyshawn Davis: ‘He’s the Favorite’

Tim Bradley predicts Devin Haney vs Keyshawn Davis: “He’s the favourite”

Tim Bradley assessed the nuances of the fight between Devin Haney and Keyshawn Davis, believing that one of the fighters will be the clear favorite in their potential welterweight fight.

After his comprehensive performance against Brian Norman Jr last November, many would consider WBO champion Haney the top dog at 147 pounds.

“The Dream” was able to overtake and dethrone Norman with minimal difficulty, scoring an early knockdown before becoming a three-division world champion.

Previous points victories over the likes of Vasyl Lomachenko and Regis Prograis have only cemented Haney’s position as one of the best busy fighters in the sport.

Davis, meanwhile, has not fully established himself as a pound-for-pound star, despite having previously dethroned Denys Berinchyk – via a fourth-round stoppage, no less – to become the WBO lightweight champion in February 2025.

After returning to the ring last January, “The Businessman” defeated Jermaine Ortiz at 140 pounds, ending the 12th round after dismantling his opponent with body shots.

But now, after a unanimous decision victory over Nahir Albright, whom he faced in a rematch last week, Davis is expressing interest in moving up to 147 pounds and challenging Haney.

However, Bradley said that considering their recent performances his YouTube channel that would make Davis a significant underdog.

“I’m telling you now: I don’t care about watching this fight. I think it’s an ugly fight. But who would be the favorite?

“[Based on] their recent performances, Devin Haney would be the favorite. Haney has more experience; Haney fought back [professionally] since he was 17 years ancient. I fight adult men in Mexico.

“He won [an undisputed championship and has] I was there with legends [like Lomachenko]”

In addition to his experience, Bradley emphasizes that Haney’s mentality was a key factor in the match against Davis, who narrowly missed weight in his first weigh-in before the Albright fight.

Much more drastic, however, was his failed attempt last June, when The American was stripped of his WBO title after weighing more than 4 pounds over the lightweight limit.

Adrien Broner’s broadcast leaked from Gervonta Davis training

Published

Gervonta Davis pictured from behind during a boxing appearance amid renewed comeback speculation

Gervonta Davis may finally be preparing to return to boxing after unexpected comments during Adrien Broner’s latest Kick broadcast revealed that the lightweight star has returned to training.

During a conversation broadcast live on the broadcast, veteran coach Kevin Cunningham appeared to casually inform Broner that Davis had recently been to the gym before the pair arrived.

“You know your boy was here,” Cunningham told Broner.

“Oh,” Broner replied before asking, “Really? Did he stop?”

“He’s training…” Cunningham added.

The exchange immediately sparked speculation online that Davis had quietly resumed preparations for a comeback after months of uncertainty about his future.

The return of Gervonta Davis

Davis has remained largely out of the spotlight since his controversial draw with Lamont Roach and the ongoing legal issues surrounding the Pound for Pound star outside the ring.

As WBN previously reported, surveillance footage related to Davis’ ongoing civil case was made public earlier this year, increasing scrutiny over the former lightweight champion’s future and legal situation.

At the same time, there are still some major fighting possibilities floating around behind the scenes.

WBN recently revealed that Vasily Lomachenko’s potential return could reignite the unfinished superfight that ended in 2024 when the Ukrainian retired from boxing.

For Davis, just returning to training changes the conversation.

The lightweight division continues to operate without him, with names like Shakur Stevenson, Isaac Cruz, Floyd Schofield and Roach remaining linked to possible future fights.

The irony is that Broner stopped streaming with Deen the Great and started training with Cunningham himself, which he also broadcast to thousands of viewers online.

The footage immediately led many fans to question why Broner wasn’t doing more in the latter years of his career.

At 37 years venerable, Broner seemed to have some time left when he signed with Don King in 2023. Three years later, he fought only two fights, and the last one ended in defeat against Blair Cobbs.

Like Broner, Davis also struggled with inactivity and motivation, but looked like a million bucks on the pads.

During an eye-opening interview in 2025, Davis admitted that he needed to “rehabilitate” himself after several arrests and told Dan Cannobio of the Inside Boxing Show that the process meant getting “all boxing” out of his system, perhaps permanently.

Shortly thereafter, Davis signed a contract to fight Jake Paul before the fight resulted in modern legal problems surrounding the Baltimore fighter.

Now Davis appears to be considering whether another comeback attempt will complicate the legal process that still hangs over his career.

Despite the uncertainty, one chance exchange on Broner’s broadcast may have finally confirmed that Davis is at least returning to boxing rather than further away from it.
