Boxing is currently enjoying a surge in activity this summer, following a slow start in June. Recently, Katie Taylor triumphed in her trilogy fight against Amanda Serrano at Madison Square Garden, successfully defending her undisputed junior welterweight title. The following night, Shakur Stevenson claimed victory against William Zepeda to retain his title, while Hamzah Sheeraz became a prominent super middleweight contender after defeating Edgar Berlanga via TKO.
The excitement continues on July 19 with a thrilling doubleheader. Unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk will attempt to best Daniel Dubois for the second time in their rematch, a highly-anticipated fight originating from London. In their first encounter in 2023, Usyk secured a win under controversial circumstances, as Dubois’ team contested a low blow that halted Usyk’s performance when he was unable to get back up. Now, Usyk is determined to settle the score.
Additionally, eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao will make his ring return against WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios in Las Vegas. Pacquiao, now 46, hasn’t faced off since a loss to Yordenis Ugas back in 2021.
The summer boxing scene is set to conclude largely on September 13, with Canelo Alvarez taking on Terence Crawford at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
