New York City, NY – The Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York, hosts a historic event this Saturday, July 12, 2025. For the first time, the iconic USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, typically home to the US Open, will trade tennis rackets for swinging fists in the Ring III card, headlined by Edgar Berlanga vs. Hamzah Sheeraz and featuring Shakur Stevenson vs. William Zepeda. The action-packed prelims will be available to stream live, setting the stage for a night of great boxing showdowns that you won’t want to miss.
In the main event, Brooklyn’s own Edgar Berlanga (23-1, 18 KOs) takes on Britain’s rising star Hamzah Sheeraz (21-0-1, 17 KOs) in a WBC super middleweight title eliminator. This 12-round clash promises fireworks, with Berlanga looking to rebound from his loss to Canelo Álvarez and Sheeraz aiming to make a statement in his U.S. super middleweight debut. Berlanga, known for his relentless pressure and knockout power, faces a formidable challenge in Sheeraz, whose slick jab and distance boxing have earned him a reputation as a force in the division. With a potential shot at Canelo Álvarez on the line, this fight is a pivotal moment for both fighters’ careers.
The co-main event features a blockbuster lightweight title fight as WBC champion Shakur Stevenson (23-0, 11 KOs) defends his belt against unbeaten Mexican contender William Zepeda (33-0, 27 KOs). Stevenson, a three-division world champion known for his slick footwork and defensive mastery, faces one of his toughest tests yet in Zepeda, whose high-volume punching and aggressive style could steal the show. This clash of styles—Stevenson’s precision versus Zepeda’s relentless output—has the potential to be the fight of the night.
