Edgar Berlanga takes Hamzah Sheeraz tonight in their WBC Super Middeeight title Eliminator in their 12-round main event at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York. In The Co-Main, Shakur Stevenson defends his WBC lightweight title against William Zepeda in a 12 round.
Tonight’s main card will be streamed on Dazn ppv At 6pm ET for $ 59.99. The ring walks for Berlanga-Heeraz are expected at 21:55 hours ET / 18:55 pt.
Berlanga (23-1, 18 COs) and the unbeaten Sheeraz (21-0-1, 17 COs) hope to resist the undisputed super-middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez in the early 2026. There may be a great payday awaiting the winner of this battle.
Edgar Blangga vs. Hamzah sheeraz
Shakur Stevenson vs. William Zepeda
Alberto Puello vs. SubBriel Matias
David Morrell vs. Imam Khataev
Reito Tsutsumi vs. Isiah Rodrigues
Mohammed Alelel vs. Placido Hoff
It is Sheeraz, 26, who makes his debut on 168, and it is difficult to know how well he will perform against the Great Puncher Berlanga. The 6’3 ″ Briton, Hamzah, has the push of Ko Edgar and the technical skills to box out.
The magical question is how well the know of Sheeraz will hold against Berlanga, which is probably a light heavyweight in size, and melts from the 190s to compete at 168. If he has to compete after 193 as he did against Canelo, it would be difficult to handle the type of size in his first fight on Super Middleweight.
Stevenson’s hardest test yet
In the main support, Shakur Stevenson (23-0, 11 COs) has aggressive, high-pressure fighter William Zepeda (33-0, 27 COs) in a fight in a fight that will test whether the WBC champion can handle an uninterrupted attack. Zepeda is different from someone who has fought Stevenson in his career before, because he has chased the entire competition.
Shakur is used to facing fighters who occasionally push him, allowing him to pot and move around. Most of the fighters facing Stevenson were a lesser sub-B level, old, slow, weak and not applying pressure. Zepeda’s high production and pressure can force Stevenson to actually fight to survive because he can’t run and win all night.
Morrell vs. Khataev: light heavyweight collision
Light heavyweight David Morrell (11-1, 9 COs) fights 2020 Olympic bronze medalist Imam Khataev (10-0, 9 COs) in a fight that many fans are interested in watching. Morrell came to a decisive defeat against David Banavidez in February, but he looked impressive in that battle. He dropped Benavidez and dominated the last three rounds with his power against the tired Mexican monster.
