HOUSTON, TX (July 29, 2026) – One of Texas’ brightest rising stars will have the opportunity to take the biggest step of his career when undefeated knockout artist Jahyden Britton (9-0, 6 KOs) of Brenham, Texas, squares off against dangerous veteran Bruno Pola Ruiz (11-4-2, 9 KOs) of San Antonio for the vacant WBA/NABA Super Middleweight Championship on Friday, August 14, 2026, as BiYu Promotions launches its premier boxing series, “Fights Under the Lights,” at Constellation Field in Sugar Land, Texas.

Serving as the evening’s eight-round co-main event, the championship clash pits two heavy-handed Texans against one another in a matchup expected to deliver fireworks from the opening bell. Fans attending the inaugural event, or tuning in live on CombatVisionTV, will witness two fighters with knockout power and championship ambitions collide with regional bragging rights and a prestigious title at stake.

For Britton, the bout represents far more than another undefeated record to protect. It is the opportunity to capture his first regional title while performing in front of a hometown crowd that has supported him every step of the way.

“This is going to be a tough fight, Bruno Ruiz is an experienced fighter with a lot of power,” said Britton. “I trained harder than ever for this moment, and I’m ready to prove that I belong among the best in the division. My goal is to earn every second in that ring and leave with the NABA belt around my waist.”

Fighting close to home only adds to the significance of the occasion.

“There’s nothing like fighting in front of the people who believed in you before anyone else did,” Britton continued. “Having my family, friends, and everyone from this community behind me means everything. Their support has helped shape who I am, and I’m excited to give them a performance they can be proud of. Moments like these don’t come around often, and I plan to make the most of it.”

Capturing the WBA/NABA Super Middleweight Championship would mark a defining moment in Britton’s young career and position him among the division’s emerging contenders.

“Winning this title would be a major step in the right direction for my career.” Britton said. “Every fight is another opportunity to improve, represent my team the right way, and keep moving toward bigger goals. I’m staying humble, staying hungry, and keeping my focus on becoming the best fighter I can be.”

With six knockouts in nine victories, Britton has developed a reputation as one of Texas’ most exciting young prospects, and he promises fans another memorable performance on August 14.

“Fans can expect me to come prepared, fight with heart, and leave everything in the ring,” Britton added. “I never take an opportunity like this for granted. Whether the fight goes the distance or ends early, everyone watching is going to see a fighter who’s willing to give everything to earn the victory. That’s the kind of performance I’m going to deliver.”

BiYu Promotions President Bobby Harrison believes Britton and Ruiz have all the ingredients to produce one of the most entertaining fights of the year.

“This is exactly the type of matchup we envisioned when we created ‘Fights Under the Lights,'” Harrison said. “You have two proud Texas fighters with knockout power, championship aspirations, and everything to gain. Jahyden, who is one of our fighters, is one of the fastest-rising young talents in the sport, while Bruno has the experience and punching power to change a fight with one shot. That’s a recipe for an unforgettable championship battle.”

Harrison also encouraged fans to experience the inaugural event in person or watch live from anywhere.

“We’re building something special with ‘Fights Under the Lights,’ and August 14 is just the beginning,” Harrison added. “If you’re in Texas, come experience the atmosphere at Constellation Field because it’s going to be an incredible night of boxing. If you can’t make it, don’t miss the live broadcast on CombatVisionTV. This card is loaded with talented young fighters, championship boxing, and the kind of action fans love to see. It’s going to be a night people will be talking about long after the final bell.”

Venue: Constellation Field

Location: Sugar Land, Texas

Co-Main Event: Jahyden Britton (9-0, 6 KOs) vs. Bruno Pola Ruiz (11-4-2, 9 KOs) – Vacant WBA/NABA Super Middleweight Championship (8 Rounds)

Live Broadcast: CombatVisionTV  

Heavy-hitting rivals Teremoana Teremoana (11-0, 11 KOs) and DeAndre Savage (11-1, 11 KOs) traded verbal blows for the first time as they went head-to-head in a virtual face-off with Matchroom Sport Chairman, Eddie Hearn ahead of their August 12 showdown at The Star Gold Coast, live on DAZN’s Kayo Sports.

Between them, Teremoana and Savage have a combined 22 knockouts in 22 wins, a staggering statistic that makes this one of the most anticipated heavyweight collisions on Australian soil in years.

Teremoana, the Brisbane-based Paris Olympian, has blitzed through his opposition since turning professional in December 2024, reeling off seven straight stoppages. Savage, the 35-year-old American, has been just as ruthless, with his only career blemish a points loss to Brandon Moore, every other outing ending inside the distance.

Matchroom Sport Chairman Eddie Hearn says the virtual face-off – available to watch in full below – only sharpens the picture of what’s coming.

Hearn said:“You look at that face-off and you see two men who genuinely do not miss when they land. Teremoana is the future of this division, but Savage is exactly the kind of live opponent that proves it. Nobody else wanted this fight, but Savage did, and now we get to see what happens when two knockout artists collide.”

Teremoana said: “Seeing him up close, even virtually, you get a sense of what’s coming on August 12. He’s dangerous, he’s proven, and he’s undefeated by knockout for a reason. But this is exactly the kind of test I need on the road to becoming heavyweight world champion. I can’t wait to do this in front of my people on the Gold Coast.”

He laid down the challenge to Savage, baiting him by saying: “Prepare well these next few weeks because standing in front of you is a big challenge. I’m telling you now, you’re not going to get through it.”

Savage responded: “I’m ready to fight tomorrow. This has been one of the best camps I’ve been in. I’m ready get down there and show the world what I can do”.

The virtual face-off comes as part of a stacked August 12 card that also features Matchroom’s newest signing, ‘Pretty Boy’ Michael Zerafa (34-5-0, 22 KOs), returning to the ring in a co-main event against Alejandro Ortiz, an opponent who comes with an intimidating knockout record, having stopped 25 of his 25 victories.

Plus fans will be treated to a quality undercard featuring WBO-ranked Super Middleweight contender Jack Bowen (13-1, 10 KOs); a 50-50 Flyweight decider between Jasmine Parr (8-2, 3 KOs) and Jemma Peart (9-1, 3 KOs); and unbeaten Toowoomba prospect Lekesha Woodbridge (4-0, 3 KOs) against Thailand’s Sothita Sitthical (13-5, 4 KOs).

The Championships Committee of the World Boxing Association (WBA) has declared René Santiago Champion in Recess and approved a bout between Daiya Kira and Carlos Cañizales for the WBA World Light Flyweight (108 lbs.) Championship.

Santiago was scheduled to defend his crown against Kira, the division’s mandatory challenger. However, his team informed the Committee that an injury would prevent him from fulfilling the mandatory defense. As a result, the WBA requested all relevant medical documentation for review by its Medical Committee before reaching a decision.

WBA Rule C.14 states that when a World Champion is unable to defend his title within the prescribed time periods due to medical, legal, or other justifiable reasons reasonably beyond his control, the inactive champion may be designated Champion in Recess, and the Committee may order the appropriate championship bout in accordance with WBA Rules C.22 through C.24. Medical reasons must be documented to the satisfaction of the Chairman of the Medical Committee, who may require additional medical examinations or reports.

Following its review, the Committee decided to designate Santiago as Champion in Recess and ordered a championship bout between the WBA’s No. 1-ranked contender, Japan’s Daiya Kira, and the organization’s No. 2-ranked contender, Venezuela’s Carlos Cañizales. The two will meet for the vacant WBA World Light Flyweight Championship on September 2 in Yokohama, Japan.

The WBA Medical Committee will remain in communication with Santiago’s team to monitor the progress of his recovery and determine the timeline for his return, which must come against the winner of the Kira-Cañizales bout. Any issues that arise during this process will be resolved in accordance with WBA Rules.

LAS VEGAS – July 28, 2026 – A pair of undefeated rising stars have signed with Premier Boxing Champions as super lightweight Carlos Utria and middleweight Marco Romero seek to prove their mettle as future world champions.

The signing gives two young, unbeaten fighters the opportunity to fight on boxing’s biggest stages, exposing them to the wider boxing audiences. Hungry to display their skills, Utria and Romero are each eager to embark on this next journey of their professional careers.

“For me it is a great honor to sign with PBC, because it shows that I’m doing things right,” said Utria. “I know that I will not disappoint. This is going to be a new era of Colombian boxing, with myself and a lot of great prospects on the rise. I’m going to continue to work hard with this same mentality and continue to chase my dreams going forward.”

“This signing feels like a dream come true,” said Romero. “I’ve always wanted to be on boxing’s biggest cards and I’m super grateful for this opportunity with PBC. They’ve shown a lot of interest in me and they really believe in me. I know they’re going to take care of me on this next step of my career.”

One of the sport’s most acclaimed young prospects, the 22-year-old Utria (14-0, 11 KOs) most recently emerged victorious in the WBC Boxing Grand Prix and earned a top 10 ranking at 140-pounds. The five-victory run culminated in a unanimous decision over Mujimillo Tursunov in December, with his championship-winning run leading to him being named Boxing Scene’s 2025 Prospect of the Year.

A native of Soplaviento, Colombia, Utria is led into the ring by his father Lenyn Utria, who’s instilled his son with a versatile ring arsenal that’s allowed him to adapt to opponents of varying styles throughout his Grand Prix-winning run. Utria has fought professionally since 2023 and will look to continue his momentum stateside.

A native of Overland Park, Kansas, Romero (14-0, 12 KOs) had a stellar amateur career that included 23-national titles, most notably winning the 2024 National Golden Gloves title where he was named Outstanding Boxer of the Tournament. The 20-year-old turned pro in 2024 and has shown a propensity for ending fights early, with 11 of his 12 KO’s coming within three rounds.

Trained by top trainer John Brown, Romero added three victories against increasingly stiff competition in 2026, kicking off the year with a sixth-round stoppage of veteran Vaught Alexander. He followed that up by going eight rounds for the first time in a shutout victory over William Langston before most recently knocking out Andre Sherard in round one in May.

Information on Utria and Romero’s PBC debuts will be announced shortly.

A CLASSIC FEATHERWEIGHT confrontation tops the bill when Queensberry return to Birmingham’s BP Pulse Live on Saturday 26 September, when Liam Davies takes up the challenge of Nathaniel Collins, live on DAZN.

It is England vs Scotland in the boxing ring, with Davies – the current European and WBO Intercontinental champion, trades blows with Glasgow’s ‘The Nightmare’ Collins, the former British, Commonwealth and WBC Silver champion.

Also on the card, middleweight Nathan ‘Hitman’ Heaney (19-2-1, 6 KOs) – along with his army of fans from the Potteries – will run it back with Gerome Warburton (17-2-2, 2 KOs) in what will be his farewell fight before retirement, after the Stoke favourite was outpointed by the Welshman back in March.

Olympian Luke McCormack (5-0, 3 KOs), fresh from his first 10-round super lightweight triumph over Kane Gardner in February, goes up against the undefeated Jack Power (8-0, 2 KOs).

Also at featherweight, the Morecambe starlet Nelson Birchall (11-0, 8 KOs) faces Gully Power (13-1-1, 1 KO), who fought to a draw in a British title clash with Rhys Edwards in April. Birchall, just 21, became English champion in March with a ninth-round stoppage of Ryan Griffiths.

Davies (18-1-0, 9 KOs) is establishing himself as a featherweight force after stepping up from super bantamweight, where he became IBO world champion, and won the European, British, WBC and WBO International titles.

Southpaw Collins (17-1-1, 8 KOs) will be determined to bounce back in a major fight following his first professional defeat in April against European champion Cristobal Lorente in Glasgow. That fight was a rematch of a drawn encounter in October 2025 and doubled as a final eliminator for the WBC world title.

Collins ultimately came off second best via a split decision but can put himself right back in the world title frame with a victory in Birmingham.

“There will be absolutely no quarter given in this first clutch of fights we are announcing for Birmingham on Saturday 26 September,” said promoter Frank Warren. It really can’t get much better at featherweight than Liam Davies being matched with Nathaniel Collins.

“Both have got strong world title ambitions and a fight of this quality will allow one of them to issue a massive statement of intent. Liam and Nathaniel are both all-action fighters and both possess the power to close the show at any moment.

“I believe we will witness a true England vs Scotland classic.

“The Stoke fans will be rocking in the aisles to welcome Nathan Heaney back into the ring one last time for his rematch with Gerome Warburton. He’s given so much to British boxing and he deserves the opportunity to settle the score with his fans behind him.”

“We’ve also got the emerging talents of Luke McCormack and Nelson Birchall on the show in career-toughest tests against opponents who will fancy their chances of upsetting the odds.”

NEW YORK, NY – July 28, 2026 — Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) today announced the signing of Australia’s two division champion, reigning WBC super bantamweight world champion at 122lbs, and 2020 Australian Olympian Skye Nicolson (16-1, 3 KOs) as Nicolson becomes the first fighter to compete under the newly announced strategic alliance from MVP and Matchroom Boxing, focused on accelerating the continued global growth of women’s boxing. Under the alliance, Matchroom will work with MVP to continue elevating Nicolson throughout the next phases of her professional career.

Nicolson will make her MVP event debut on MVPW-06 at bp pulse LIVE on Saturday, August 29 in Birmingham, England. She will defend her WBC super bantamweight world title in a 10-round defense at 122lbs against Japan’s two-division champion Miyo Yoshida (19-5, 1 KOs), airing live on Sky Sports in the UK and ESPN+ in the US. The announcement was made during the MVPW-06 UK vs USA: Mikaela Mayer vs. Chantelle Cameron kickoff press conference today at Glaziers Hall in London, England, as Skye Nicolson joined MVP CEO Nakisa Bidarian onstage in a surprise appearance. 

Nicolson joins MVP’s global roster of elite athletes while also becoming the first athlete to compete as part of MVP’s and Matchroom’s landmark strategic alliance. Nicolson joins a decorated roster of fellow Australian signees at MVP including Australia’s first-ever undisputed champion in the four belt era, male or female, Cherneka Johnson, unified unified IBF and WBO middleweight world champion Desley Robinson, and former IBF bantamweight world champion Ebanie Bridges. 

Skye Nicolson was born and raised in Queensland, Australia to an English mother and Scottish father. She began boxing at age 12, following in the footsteps of her late brother. Her stellar amateur career saw over 150 fights around the world including a Commonwealth Games gold medal, bronze at the amateur world championships, and representing Team Australia in the Tokyo Olympics in 2020, where she finished as a quarter-finalist. Off the back of the Olympics, she signed a long-term promotional deal with Matchroom and began a very active professional career that skyrocketed her to her first world title in just her 10th professional fight, defeating Sarah Mahfoud for the WBC featherweight title in 2024. Now 16-1 as a professional, Nicolson most recently rose to Interim champion and mandatory challenger for the WBC 122lbs title. Shortly after, the belt was vacated by former undisputed champion Ellie Scotney, and Nicolson was elevated to become a two-time, two-division WBC world champion in May 2026. Entering this next chapter under the MVP and Matchroom strategic alliance, the 30-year-old prepares to unify the super bantamweight division and aims to be part of the biggest fights in women’s boxing.

“Women’s boxing is entering a new era, and I want to be right at the centre of it. This partnership with MVP and Matchroom gives me the opportunity to chase legacy, compete in the biggest fights out there, and help continue pushing women’s boxing forward,” said Skye Nicolson. “My goal has always been to test myself against the very best and be involved in the biggest fights in women’s boxing. I truly believe this move puts me in the best possible position to do exactly that. I’m excited for what’s ahead and can’t wait for this next chapter of my career to unfold.”

Nicolson also joins MVP’s global roster of Olympic talent at MVP, including US Olympian Mikaela Mayer, Team Great Britain Olympian Caroline Dubois, 2x Canadian Olympian Tamm Thibeault, US Olympic bronze medalist Oshae Jones, US Olympian Jahmal Harvey, 2x Brazilian Olympian Keno Marley, and Germany’s Olympic bronze medalist Nelvie Tiafack.

“Skye is one of the most recognizable athletes in women’s boxing today,” said Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian, co-founders of Most Valuable Promotions. “As a two-division world champion, Commonwealth Games gold medalist, Olympian, and one of Australia’s biggest stars, she represents the caliber of athlete we’re building MVP around. Since launching MVPW, our mission has been to create the premier global platform for women’s boxing by bringing together the sport’s biggest champions and delivering the biggest fights. Skye shares that vision and ambition, and together we’re excited to help create the defining moments of the next chapter of her career, beginning with her world title defense against another outstanding former champion in Miyo Yoshida on Saturday, August 29.”

Miyo Yoshida is a three-time, two-division world champion from Kagoshima, Japan. A former IBF bantamweight world champion and two-time WBO junior bantamweight world champion, Yoshida has established herself as one of Japan’s most accomplished female fighters. She made history as one of only a handful of Japanese women to win world titles in multiple weight classes and has earned recognition for her technical skill, resilience, and championship pedigree. Known as the “Fighting Single Mother” in Japan, Yoshida is a former The Ring Most Inspirational Female Fighter award recipient and a revered role model both inside and outside the ring. After relocating to the United States, she now trains at the legendary Gleason’s Gym in Brooklyn, New York. Yoshida most recently earned a victory over Edith de Jesus Flores in April 2026, following a unanimous decision win over Beata Dudek in February 2025. She captured the IBF bantamweight world title with a dominant unanimous decision over Ebanie Bridges in December 2023 after accepting the fight on less than two weeks’ notice.

“Many people see Skye Nicolson as the favorite and I understand why as she is an excellent fighter,” said Miyo Yoshida. “But I have dedicated my life to boxing and I am prepared to give everything for this opportunity. I promise the fans will see a fearless Miyo Yoshida. I will bring the heart of Japan, my experience as a three-time World Champion and everything I have into this fight. On fight night, I believe the world will see me crowned as the new WBC Super Bantamweight Champion.”

**PAULO AOKUSO VS. LUIS ANTONIO TEJEDA**

Tejeda has fought professionally since 2023 and enters this fight having stopped four of his last five opponents. His last outing saw him earn a fourth-round knockout of Vikensi Mateo in February.

ATLANTA (June 22, 2026) – Undefeated middleweight contender Troy Isley will face Joe Hicks in a showdown of 2020 U.S. Olympic rivals on Saturday, Aug. 15 live on DAZN in a 10-round featured bout of the Claressa Shields vs. Kaye Scott blockbuster event from State Farm Arena in Atlanta. 

In a co-featured bout, former Puerto Rican Olympian and undefeated contender Ashleyann Lozada will face former world title challenger Paulette Cuesta in a 10-round women’s super bantamweight matchup. In the DAZN opener, WBC Women’s Super Featherweight Champion Caroline Veyre will make the first defense of her title against undefeated challenger Bernice Ferreira.  

The three bouts round out the five-fight DAZN worldwide broadcast that begins at 9 p.m. ET following live streaming coverage on Zeus Network at 6 p.m. ET. It was announced on Thursday that knockout artist and rising star Ernesto “Tito” Mercado will face Emmanuel Tagoe in the 10-round super lightweight co-main event prior to Shields vs. Scott.  

Presented by Salita Promotions in partnership with Wynn Records, Claressa Shields Promotions and Route 30 Promotions, and presenting sponsor Zeus Network, the historic event marks the first women’s headliner at State Farm Arena. Remaining tickets for Aug. 15 are available on Ticketmaster.com. 

Isley and Hicks were teammates on the 2020 U.S. Men’s Olympic Boxing Team, with Isley advancing to the round of 16 while Team Captain Hicks missed out due to changes in qualifying after the Games were delayed by the Covid pandemic. To Hicks, the changes benefitted Isley, who took his spot on the team. To Isley, the better and more experienced man earned his place in Japan. Now the longtime teammates become rivals in a showdown that may position the winner to challenge for a world title.

“Transformer” Isley (16-0, 6 KOs), of Alexandria, Va., is fresh off a fifth-round TKO of Leonardo Di Stefano on June 14 in Grand Rapids, Mich. The 27-year-old scored two knockdowns in the empathic victory and called out middleweight champions Erislandy Lara and Carlos Adames in his post-fight interview. Prior to June 14, Isley won a hard-fought unanimous decision over Etoundi Michel William in June of 2025 in Norfolk, Va. In 2024, Isley soundly defeated former U.S. Olympian teammate Javier Martinez, who holds two amateur victories over Hicks at the U.S. Olympic Trials. 

“I made easy work of Javier Martinez and I’m going to do the same to Joe Hicks,” said Isley referring to his former Olympic teammates. “I’m hungry and I’m coming different. Fans are going to see a version of Troy Isley, the best version. I’m going to put this Olympic talk to bed with Joe.

“It feels good to be right back and this time on a Claressa card. Last year was a down year for me – I didn’t fight as much as I wanted. My plan was to be busy this year. I’ve been with Salita Promotions for two months and this is already my second fight.”

Hicks (12-1, 7 KOs) bounced back from his first professional defeat with a decision victory over Todd Manuel on Feb. 10 in his hometown of Grand Rapids. The 32-year-old made history as one of the first professional fighters to compete for the U.S. Boxing Team, but changes to the qualifying process due to Covid prevented him from competing in the postponed Games despite being named Team Captain. 

“Troy Isley is a tight opponent, but I am confident in my skills as a boxer puncher and counter puncher. We have history from the Olympics and on fight night I’m going to get it back in blood and prove I have always been the better fighter.

“I’m happy to be back in the ring. I’ve had long layoffs and only fought twice in the past year, but I stay in the gym so I’m ready for any opportunity. I’m grateful to be on the GWOAT card and God will make sure I come out of it with my hand raised on Aug. 15.”

Lozada (4-0, 1 KOs) was the first female Olympic boxer in Puerto Rican history. The native of Corozal is currently ranked No. 4 in the world by the WBA and coming off a win over longtime two-division champion Debora Anahi Dionicius in May. The 35-year-old southpaw turned professional in 2025 after a lengthy amateur career and has fought four times in less than 18 months as her level of opposition has steadily increased.  

“I am elated to fight for the WBA Gold title, and a victory will bring me one step closer to my dream of becoming a world champion,” Lozada said. “I am going against a very worthy opponent who has all my respect. I have worked hard for this moment, and with God by my side, no one will stop me. I am immensely proud to add to the long-standing tradition of México vs. Puerto Rico. I want all of the Puerto Rican and Latino community in Atlanta and watching on DAZN to join me on August 15th. ¡Viva Puerto Rico!”

Lozada will face her toughest test on Aug. 15 in Cuesta, the No. 6 ranked contender in the WBA, with the winner positioned to challenge No. 3 ranked Phannerai Netisri in a WBA world title eliminator. Cuesta (19-5-1, 4 KOs), of Tijuana, Mexico, is coming off a decision win over previously undefeated Karla Davis in June in Puerto Rico. In 2023 she challenged longtime super bantamweight titleholder Yamileth Mercado. 

“I am more than ready to take on Ashleyann Lozada,” said Cuesta, who recently defeated the No. 6 ranked contender. “She has never faced a strong, determined, experienced Mexican like me. I will bring home a great victory for Mexico on August 15.” 

Veyre (11-1) won the vacant WBC Super Featherweight World Championship with a decisive unanimous decision over longtime former champion and contender Delfine Persoon, who had previously faced women’s boxing superstars Alycia Baumgardner and Katie Taylor. The 37-year-old Veyre, of Montreal by way of Paris, had previously faced former world title challenger Licia Boudersa, winning a near-shutout decision in her fifth consecutive fight in Michigan. On Aug. 15, Veyre faces just the second undefeated challenger of her career in her first title defense.

“I can’t wait to get back in the ring, can’t wait to be on the undercard with Claressa Shields,” Veyre said. “But more than anything, I can’t wait to defend my title for the first time, and go get another one while I’m at it. My opponent is 10-0 and an IBO champion, and that’s exactly why I want this fight. I didn’t become a world champion to duck challenges. I want to prove I’m the champion of this division, and the only way to do that is by facing the other champions.” 

Ferreira (10-0, 4 KOs) will fight outside of her native South Africa for the first time, where she has compiled 10 wins in just three years. In her last two bouts, the 34-year-old won a wide decision over Ellen Simwaka and a near-shutout over former world title challenger Nozipho Bell. Ferreira, who currently holds the IBO super featherweight belt, is ranked in the top five by two of the major sanctioning bodies – No. 2 by the IBF and No. 4 – as well as No. 9 by the WBO. 

“They’re selling this as a clash of two titans, but when that bell rings, respect goes out the window,” Ferreira said. “She’s coming to win a match, I’m coming to take a soul. I’ve taken beatings from life that would have put her in the ground, so if she thinks 10 rounds with me is going to break my spirit, she’s in for a long night.”

Said Dmitriy Salita, President of Salita Promotions: “We’re excited to put on this great DAZN undercard featuring former Olympic teammates and American contenders in a career-defining showdown. The addition of Lozado vs. Cuesta and Veyre vs. Ferreira to the undercard of Claressa Shields and Kaye Scott further solidifies our dedication to women’s boxing by showcasing three fantastic women’s fights on the biggest platform in the sport.”

HOUSTON, TX (July 22, 2026) – Great fights are born when talented fighters meet. Memorable fights happen when everything is on the line.

On Friday, August 14, 2026, two undefeated light heavyweights will put their records, reputations, and championship dreams to the ultimate test when Chavon “Silent Assassin” Stillwell (10-0, 8 KOs) defends his WBA/NABA Light Heavyweight Championship against fellow unbeaten slugger Izaiah Dent (10-0, 9 KOs), in a scheduled 10-round main event at Constellation Field in Sugar Land, Texas.

The championship showdown headlines the inaugural edition of BiYu Promotions’ premier boxing series, “Fights Under the Lights,” and will air live worldwide on CombatVisionTV.

With a combined record of 20 victories, 17 knockouts, and zero defeats, both men understand that only one will leave the ring with an undefeated record, and the championship belt.

For Davis Stillwell, the title represents more than hardware. It represents years of sacrifice, discipline, and an unwavering belief that his time has arrived.

“This is the kind of fight every fighter dreams about because there’s no place to hide when two undefeated fighters step into the ring,” said Stillwell. “Fans are going to see two men who refuse to take a backward step and who believe they’re destined to become world champions. That’s what makes this fight special. We’re both coming to prove we’re the better fighter, and when you have that kind of mindset on both sides, you’re going to get an unforgettable night of boxing. I’m ready to defend my title, protect my undefeated record, and show everyone that I’m prepared for the next level.”

Dent has built his own reputation as one of boxing’s most dangerous young punchers, stopping nine of his ten opponents. He believes this matchup has all the ingredients to become one of the year’s most talked-about fights.

“This fight is exciting because neither one of us has ever accepted being second best,” Dent said. “We’re both undefeated, we’re both hungry, and we both know what a victory means for our future. Fans don’t have to wonder if they’re going to get action because neither of us fights to survive, we fight to win. I’m coming to Texas to make a statement against a champion, and I believe this is the fight that introduces me to the entire boxing world.”

BiYu Promotions President Bobby Harrison believes the main event perfectly represents the vision behind launching “Fights Under the Lights.”

“When we created this series, our goal wasn’t simply to promote boxing events, it was to create meaningful fights that matter,” Harrison said. “This main event embodies everything we believe the sport should be. Two undefeated young fighters are willing to risk everything in pursuit of greatness. There are no easy paths here, no carefully protected records, only two athletes who have earned this opportunity and are prepared to leave everything in the ring. Those are the fights fans remember long after the final bell.”

Harrison expects the Houston-area boxing community to rally behind what promises to be one of the region’s biggest fight nights of the year.

“Houston has always embraced great boxing, and August 14 is going to be a special night,” Harrison continued. “From the opening bout to the championship main event, we’ve assembled a card filled with talented young fighters who are chasing their dreams. If you’re anywhere in the Houston region, you owe it to yourself to experience this event live at Constellation Field. The atmosphere is going to be incredible, and for fans watching around the world, CombatVisionTV will showcase exactly why BiYu Promotions is committed to delivering world-class boxing. This isn’t just another fight card, it’s the beginning of something special.”

As the lights shine over Constellation Field on August 14, one undefeated record will remain intact, one fighter will leave with the WBA/NABA Light Heavyweight Championship, and one career will take a giant leap toward world title contention.

For Stillwell and Dent, this is more than a fight.

It’s the moment every sacrifice has been building toward.

Tickets for “Fights Under the Lights” priced $45 (General Admission), $95 (First Community Club), $125 (Field Reserve Rows: 7-10), $145 (Ringside Rows: 4-6), $165 (Ringside Rows: 2-3), $195 (Ringside Row 1), plus applicable fees, are on sale now at www.biyupromotions.com.

Alan Chaves will defend his WBO Latino Lightweight title against Eridson Garcia at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey on Friday September 4, the third headline show of TNT Sports and DAZN’s “The Fight,” the new monthly live boxing series, and will be broadcast co-exclusively in the U.S. on TNT, truTV and DAZN and worldwide on DAZN – a night headlined by the return of the former unified Heavyweight ruler Andy Ruiz who faces Polish giant Damian Knyba.

Chaves (22-0 19 KOs) is back in action following his KO of the year contending victory in Las Vegas in April, where his ferocious left hook in the third round of his fifth defense of his Latino title against Miguel Madueno. The Argentine is sitting pretty in the rankings at #2 with the WBO, #4 with the IBF and #7 with the WBC, and the 25-year-old will be looking for sixth straight win inside the distance to underline his World title credentials at 135lbs.

Garcia (23-2 14 KOs) will be looking to get back to winning ways after the 32-year-old was edged out over ten rounds in his last fight, also in Las Vegas in April, snapping a six-fight winning streak, but victory for the Dominican in the Garden State will catapult him into World title contention.

“I appreciate Eridson accepting the fight when others didn’t,” said Chaves. “He earned the opportunity. Now he has to earn the victory—and that’s a much harder task.”

“Alan Chaves is undefeated, dangerous and coming off a knockout everyone is talking about,” said Garcia. “Good—that means there will be no excuses when I beat him. He has never faced anyone with my experience or the ability to take away his weapons.

“They call him ‘Veneno,’ but I’m bringing the antidote, and I’m coming to hand him the first loss of his career.”

Chaves vs. Garcia is the latest undercard addition to the September 4 action, with New Jersey native Vito Mielnicki Jr. meeting Austin ‘Ammo’ Williams in the co-main event and Zaquin Moses fighting on home soil for the first time in his first right round fight. Two-weight unified king Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis will be in the house on the night as his Boots Promotions outfit has two fighters on the card, with Philadelphia’s Dennis Thompson in the second eight rounder of his career following victory in his first in June on the undercard of Jaron Ennis’ huge win over Xander Zayas in Brooklyn, NY and Welterweight Brooke Mullen fighting for the fourth time in the paid ranks.

“September 4 in New Jersey just got even better with Alan Chaves being added to the card,” said promoter Eddie Hearn. “Alan proved in April that he is a must-watch talent in the sport with his incredible KO of the year contender. Eridson is the latest man to try to stop his rapid ascent and can crash into the Lightweight rankings in a big way with a win, so this as all the hallmarks of a show-stealing fight in an already stacked card.”

HANOVER, MD.–(JULY 21, 2026)–On July 18, Jeter Promotions presented its 21st Night of Championship Professional Boxing at Live! Casino & Hotel in Hanover, Maryland, featuring an action-packed card from top to bottom.

The co-main event showcased former international amateur standout and former top-five world-rated contender Yevgeniy Pavlov (11-0) against battle-tested Albeiro Paredes (14-2). Paredes entered the bout coming off a competitive five-round fight with two-time world title challenger Edward Vasquez.

From the opening bell, Pavlov established control with a sharp jab and punishing straight left hands to the body. Then, during a heated exchange less than a minute into the opening round, Pavlov landed a devastating straight left hand to the jaw that sent Paredes crashing to the canvas. Paredes was unable to beat the count, giving Pavlov a spectacular first-round knockout victory.

With the impressive win, Pavlov captured both the WBC Continental Americas Championship and the WBA NABA Gold Championship, adding two prestigious regional titles to his résumé.

The victory marks Pavlov’s second win in just four months under the Jeter Promotions banner. With another dominant performance, he now sets his sights on re-entering the world rankings and continuing his march toward a world championship opportunity.

LAS VEGAS, NV (July 21, 2026) – Boxlab Promotions’ undefeated middleweight prospect Sebastian Juarez (11-0, 8 KOs) has built a reputation as one of Texas’ brightest young talents, combining relentless pressure with knockout power as he steadily climbs the middleweight ranks.

?On Saturday, August 8, 2026, the Brownsville native returns to action against battle-tested veteran Rance Ward (9-6-1, 2 KOs) of Houma, Louisiana, in a scheduled six-round middleweight bout at the Caribe Royale in Orlando, Florida.

The bout will air live on MVP’s YouTube channel as part of MVPW-05, presented by Most Valuable Promotions in association with Boxlab Promotions.

For Juarez, who had one of the most exciting rounds in boxing history against Demarcus Layton, every appearance under the bright lights is another opportunity to showcase his growth.

“I’m excited to get back in the ring because this is what I love to do,” said Juarez. “Rance Ward is a tough fighter who’s been in there with experienced competition, so I’m expecting him to come ready. Every fight teaches you something, and I respect anyone willing to step into the ring. My focus has been on putting together another complete performance and showing that I’m continuing to improve every time I fight.”

With August marking another important step in his development, Juarez hopes to remain active throughout the remainder of 2026 while maintaining the disciplined approach that has carried him to an undefeated record.

“The goal is definitely to stay busy for the rest of the year because activity is how young fighters continue to grow,” Juarez explained. “But staying active doesn’t mean overlooking the man standing in front of me. This fight has my full attention because every opponent is an opportunity to either move forward or take a step back. My team has prepared me to treat every fight like it’s the biggest of my career, and that’s exactly how I’m approaching August 8.”

Known for his aggressive style and finishing instincts, Juarez says fans tuning in should expect another exciting performance.

“When people watch me fight, I want them to see someone who’s hungry to become a world champion,” Juarez said. “I’m always looking to bring energy, action, and excitement every time I step into the ring. Whether the fight goes the distance or ends early, my job is to give the fans something to remember. I’m coming to make a statement and show everyone why I’m one of the top young middleweights in boxing.”

Boxlab Promotions President Amaury Piedra believes Juarez continues to mature into one of the sport’s most promising middleweight prospects.

“Sebastian has demonstrated remarkable consistency throughout the early stages of his professional career,” Piedra said. “His talent has always been evident, but what continues to impress us is his commitment to improving with each training camp. He approaches his craft with maturity, discipline, and an constant desire to learn, qualities that often distinguish good prospects from future contenders.”

Piedra also emphasized the importance of facing experienced opposition as Juarez progresses toward championship-level competition.

“Rance Ward represents the type of opponent every developing prospect should encounter,” Piedra continued. “He brings experience, resilience, and professionalism into the ring, making him an ideal test for Sebastian at this stage of his career. We are committed to building Sebastian the right way, ensuring that each fight prepares him for the increasingly difficult challenges that lie ahead. We have every confidence that he will rise to the occasion on August 8.”

July 21st, RENO — Let’s Get It On Promotions and the Silver Legacy Resort Casino are pleased to announce the return of world-class professional boxing on Friday, August 28th in Downtown Reno, Nevada.

Fresh off of his thrilling return home this past March, Reno’s “Biggest Lil’ Bomber” Kenny Davis Jr. aims to make another successful defense of his WBC USA lightweight title against battle-tested Matt Conway of Pittsburgh, PA in the night’s ten-round main event.

“It feels great to be defending my WBC US title again in Reno, Nevada,” says an excited Davis. “Reno is in for a treat as they will get a chance to witness first hand the most dangerous Kenny Davis anyone has seen yet. I am ready to go to war.”

Northern Nevada’s top professional talents will be on display in what promises to be an action-packed night from bell to bell.

After successful pro debuts here in March, Carson City’s Miguel Elizondo and Reno’s Joshua Nelson will make their ring returns in separate four-round bouts.

Former amateur star “Tito” Elizondo (2-0) will be looking for win number three in a four-round super featherweight bout against an opponent to be announced.

Nelson (1-0, 1 KO) will meet Fresno, CA’s Darion Hall (1-2) in a four-round lightweight attraction.

Two of Reno’s homegrown warriors will get to make their hometown debuts in separate contests as Mario Hernandez will take on spoiler Frankie Solomon Jr. of Tampa, FL in a six-round light heavyweight bout and junior welterweight Harley Sampson will see action in a four-rounder against an opponent yet to be announced.

Carson City’s road warrior Christian Avalos will also see action in a four-round lightweight attraction, with more bouts to be announced.

After fighting away from home for the majority of his career, Reno’s Davis (16-2-1, 4 KOs) packed the Grande Exposition Hall in March and sent them home happy with an eight-round decision to successfully defend his title against rugged Orlando Zepeda.

“The majority of my fights have been on the road, so to display my skills in my backyard was a very special moment for me,” recalls Davis. “To be a part of bringing professional boxing back to Northern Nevada was a huge moment for me.”

With eyes on advancing up the rankings, Davis will take a step-up against former regional champion Matt Conway (23-5-1, 10 KOs) in what could be the toughest fight of his career to date.

“Matt Conway is game and I am expecting him to come in at his best,” says Davis. “A WBC title shot tends to bring out the best of my opponents, so I am expecting a determined Matt Conway to show up on August 28th.

I have firm belief that my skills are among the best in the world. My name belongs with the top lightweights in the world and I will demonstrate that fight night.”

First bell is at 7pm at the Grande Exposition Hall inside of the Silver Legacy Resort Casino 407 N. Virginia St. Reno, NV 89501.

Tickets are available now and can be purchased at the Silver Legacy box office or by visiting ticketmaster.com.

ABOUT LET’S GET IT ON PROMOTIONS
Reno, Nevada-based “Let’s Get It On Promotions” was founded in 2000 by Hall of Fame boxing referee Mills Lane. In early 2005 he was joined by sons Terry and Tommy in the operations of the company. Since then, they have promoted boxing events internationally on various media platforms. They have worked with several of the world’s top prospects and contenders, and have guided fighters to world title opportunities.

DETROIT (July 20, 2026) – Former amateur standouts and rising prospects Julius “JuJu” Ballo and Jonny Mansour will make their Detroit debut on Saturday, Aug. 29 live on Wynn Records Network from the Fox Theatre as the cousins celebrate the city’s large Chaldean and Middle Eastern communities. Comerica Bank is the exclusive presenting partner of the Fox Theatre. 

Ballo and Mansour were top U.S. amateurs out of San Diego, with Ballo a 2021 Junior Pan Am Game Gold Medalist and three-time USA Boxing National Champion, and Mansour the U.S.’s No. 1 ranked lightweight and a two-time Golden Glove Champion. 

The cousins now bring their bona fide credentials and their proud Iraqi roots to Detroit, home to the largest Chaldean community in the country, as Salita Promotions continues its commitment to revitalizing the city as a destination for national and international boxing talent.  With a massive following behind them, an impressive social media presence, and the skills to back it up in the ring, JuJu and Jonny are expecting a huge crowd for their Detroit debut.  Opponents for Ballo and Mansour will be announced in the coming days. 

In a featured bout, heavyweight contender Brandon Moore (19-1, 10 KOs) will return to the ring to face former world title challenger Bryant Jennings (27-4, 15 KOs) in the Wynn Record Network main event.  The full undercard will be announced in the coming weeks.

The event is promoted by Salita Promotions in association with G2G Promotions and Wynn Records.  Tickets for Aug. 29 are on sale now at 313Presents.com and Ticketmaster.com.

Ballo (3-0), who is promoted by Top Rank, was one of the most decorated amateurs before turning professional in 2025 at Madison Square Garden Theatre.  The 5-foot-7 super featherweight competed internationally against top talent, winning the Junior Pan Am Games in 2021 and becoming a three-time USA Boxing National Champion.  The 23-year-old is already a star outside the ring, as he has amassed nearly 1.3 million followers across TikTok and Instagram. 

“Fighting in Detroit is more than just another bout for me – this is an opportunity to represent my family, my Iraqi and Chaldean roots, and to give back to a community that’s supported us from day one of this journey,” Ballo said.  “I’m looking forward to putting on a performance everyone will remember on August 29 at Fox Theatre.

In their last appearances, a homecoming fight in April at Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, Calif., Ballo and Mansour thrilled the 5,000 fans in attendance as they cruised to victories.  Now the cousins take step-up fights in a new market, looking to capitalize on their growing fame within the Chaldean community and boxing at large. 

As an amateur, Mansour (7-0, 2 KOs) became the first Californian since heavyweight Richard Torrez to become a two-time Golden Gloves Champion.  Since turning professional, the 5-foot-10 lightweight has headlined three shows in California as his in ring performances shined, while his social presence has grown to more than 600,000 followers. 

The 25-year-old dedicates his career to his late mother, who passed away shortly after his May 2025 fight in Hollywood. He has trained with Ryan Garcia, Manny Pacquiao and David Benavidez and is committed to fulfilling his promise to his mother to one day become a world champion.

“G2G Promotions is proud to bring its second professional boxing event to Detroit, Michigan—a city with a rich boxing tradition and a place our Middle Eastern family proudly calls home,” said Monsour.  “This event is more than just a night of fights. It’s an opportunity to celebrate our roots, unite the community, and showcase world-class boxing in the city that means so much to us.  At G2G Promotions, our mission is simple: deliver exciting, competitive boxing, create an unforgettable entertainment experience, and make every fan feel like they’re part of something special. 

“Detroit has always been known for its fighting spirit, and we’re honored to contribute to that legacy. We invite boxing fans, families, and supporters from every background to join us for an incredible night of action, community, and celebration.” 

The 6-foot-6 Moore has won five straight since his only defeat to top contender Richard Torrez Jr. in 2024.  The Lakeland, Fla., native has rallied off three consecutive wins over undefeated prospects, including a 10-round unanimous decision over DeAndre Savage in his last bout in September 2025.  Moore, who is ranked No. 15 in the WBO, was recently in talks to fight Tyson Fury and has served as a main sparring partner for former unified champion Anthony Joshua for his fight this Saturday in Saudi Arabia.  

Jennings has fought some of the heavyweight divisions’ best since turning professional in 2010, including hard-fought battles against then-undefeated contenders Luis Ortiz, Oscar Rivas and Joe Joyce.  The 6-foot-3 Philadelphia native challenged Wladimir Klitschko for the IBF and WBO titles in 2015, losing a unanimous decision at Madison Square Garden.  After a five year break after the loss to Joyce, Jennings returned to boxing in 2024 and has won three straight.  In his last bout, he won an eight-round decision over Robert Simms in Grand Rapids, Mich. Jennings is trained by Bozy Ennis, father of two-division champion Jaron Ennis, and Aaron Ford.

“August 29 is going to be a special night for boxing for fans,” said Dmitriy Salita, President, Salita Promotions.  “Fans will see a meaningful all-American heavyweight matchup between Brandon Moore and Bryant Jennings, while two of boxing’s brightest young stars, Johnny Mansour and Juju Ballo, continue their rise on one of the sport’s biggest stages.

“Detroit has a rich boxing history, and every event we promote is another step toward restoring the city as a true hub for world-class professional boxing.  There’s no better setting than the iconic Fox Theatre, one of the most beautiful venues in the country, and we’re excited to bring this event to fans live on Wynn Records Network.”

Added Ruben Branson, CEO Wynn Records: “Detroit is a city with championship DNA, so bringing Wynn Networks here for our second live boxing event feels like the perfect next step. We’re excited to continue showcasing world-class talent while building a platform that elevates the sport and creates new opportunities for fighters and fans alike. We’re just getting started, but every event is another brick in the foundation of what we’re building. The vision is long-term, and we’re proud to help shape boxing’s next chapter.”

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – July 20, 2026 – Rising undefeated prospect Ahmad Reda will take on Australian Olympian Paul Fleming in a 10-round lightweight showdown that has been added to the PBC Pay-Per-View event available on Prime Video and DAZN this Saturday, July 25 (U.S. date and time) from Afterpay Arena in Sydney, Australia.

The WBA Super Featherweight Title Eliminator between former two-division world champion Stephen Fulton Jr. and Australian former title challenger Liam Wilson will now serve as the co-main event, after Jermall Charlo was removed from the card due to issues obtaining a visa.

Reda vs. Fleming will precede the co-main event and enter the ring after the opening bout between undefeated rising Australian Olympian Callum Peters and fellow unbeaten Ivan Actis.

These three fights lead up to the pivotal main event showdown that sees the return of former unified world champion and pound-for-pound great Errol “The Truth” Spence Jr. as he faces Australian superstar and former world champion Tim Tszyu topping the four fight pay-per-view beginning at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.

**AHMAD REDA VS. PAUL FLEMING**

The 23-year-old Reda (8-0, 6 KOs) has shot up the rankings since turning pro in November 2023, as he began his career with stoppage victories in five of his first six outings. The Sydney-native’s first step up in competition came last August, as he won a clear unanimous decision over 35-fight veteran Bruno Tarimo to capture the Australian super lightweight title. He most recently defended that decision in impressive fashion, stopping Wayne Telepe in the sixth-round in December.

A 2008 Australian Olympian, Fleming (28-1-2, 18 KOs) is a native of Tully, Queensland, Australia who now resides in Sydney. His lone defeat came in a 2023 challenge of the currently top ranked 130-pound contender Charly Suarez. Fleming led on all three scorecards before he was stopped in the 12^th and final round. Fleming most recently returned to action last November, battling Jake Wyllie to split-draw.

RUIZ JR. AND KNYBA PRESS CONFERENCE LIVE TODAY AT 4PM PT/7PM ET – WATCH ON THE MATCHROOM YOUTUBE CHANNEL

Ruiz Jr. and Knyba will go face-to-face for the first time today at a press conference in Los Angeles at 4pm PT/7pm ET to launch the event, which sees former unified king Ruiz Jr. back in action after a two-year absence from the ring.

Ruiz Jr. (35-2-1 22 KOs) penned a promotional deal with Eddie Hearn and Matchroom last week, and Mexico’s first ever Heavyweight king is ready to reignite his quest to become a two-time World champion.

The 36-year-old stunned the sporting world in June 2019 when he dethroned Anthony Joshua on a historic night in New York, and last tasted action in August 2024 in a back-and-forth majority draw with Jarrell Miller in Los Angeles, the third bout in a row in his home city following wins over Chris Arreola and Luis Ortiz.

Standing in the way of Ruiz Jr’s plans to get back to the summit of the Heavyweight division is Knyba (17-1 11 KOs), with the Polish giant looking end ‘The Destroyer’s’ grand plans at the first hurdle. The 6ft 7in is looking to bounce back to winning ways at the first attempt after taking on newly anointed WBC champion Agit Kabayel for the interim title in Germany in January. Knyba fights at the Prudential Center for the fourth time in his career, and the 30-year-old can move into line for a World title crack with victory.

“I’m going to be fighting in Newark, New Jersey on September 4 baby,” said Ruiz Jr. “After we get this victory, I would love to fight all the guys that have the belts the Oleksandr Usyk vacated and we’re going to become a two-time champion next year, let’s get it.”

“I can’t wait to be back at the Prudential Center, my second home,” said Knyba. “I’m excited to be back in the ring in front of the New Jersey and New York fans, and they will fill the seats with white and red.”

Ruiz Jr’s clash with Knyba leads a stacked card in New Jersey, with the co-feature bout pitting another new Matchroom signing Vito Mielnicki Jr. against World Middleweight title challenger Austin ‘Ammo’ Williams.

Mielnicki Jr. (23-1 13 KOs) penned a deal with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom and Boxlab Promotions recently, and immediately steps into the biggest fight of his career to date on home turf. The 24-year-old made his pro debut at the Prudential Center in June 2019 when he was still in High School, and the Roseland, NJ native is looking to make strides in the 160lbs division by claiming a big win in his Matchroom bow.

For Williams (20-2 12 KOs) this must-win bout behind enemy lines represents a massive chance to get right back into the World title mix following a spirited performance in his first World title battle in Orlando in March, taking WBC champion Carlos Adames the distance.

“Every fight is another chapter in my story, and on September 4, I’m ready to write my biggest one yet,” said Mielnicki Jr. “I respect Ammo Williams because he has proven himself against top competition, but this is my time. I’ve dedicated my life to becoming a World champion, and every sacrifice I’ve made has prepared me for moments like this.

“When that bell rings, fans are going to see a fighter who is hungry, confident, and ready to prove he belongs among the elite. I’m coming to make a statement and take another step towards a World title.”

“The ‘Ammo Show’ is coming to you live on TNT Sports and DAZN!” said Williams. “I am brimming with excitement to have this platform and opportunity to display my talents globally once again. After my previous World Championship bout with Adames, I learned valuable lessons about what it takes to dominate at the highest level.

“The hardest thing for me to do was separate from my family for the first time, all for the sake of seclusion and total focus. I have taken my talents to Dallas, TX to train with Derrick James, a current undisputed World Champion creator, and everyday I get to soak in new knowledge from a completely different perspective. This is the move and sacrifice that will unlock my superstardom and propel me to the level of undisputed World Champion.

“I feel refreshed, renewed, happy, and focused to leave the world wide-eyed, and gasping for air from the artistic mutilation of a human being live on global television. Don’t blink, this bout just might steal the show!”

Further early undercard announcements for the card see another hometown talent will look to shine in their backyard as Newark’s Zaquin Moses fights for the eighth time in the paid ranks. Moses (7-0 3 KOs) has already recorded a pair of six round wins in 2026, and the 21-year-old’s first fight at home will also be his first eight rounder.

“We ina bityyyyyy!” said Moses. “Make sure y’all come support watch me beat on someone NEWARK! We outside! #homecoming.”

“We are excited to welcome Matchroom Boxing to Prudential Center for the first time,” said Dylan Wanagiel, Vice President, Sports Properties and Special Events, Prudential Center. “We are proud to provide a stage for elite competitors hailing from around the world and also those fighting in their own back yard here in New Jersey. This event promises to deliver an exciting showcase of the sweet science to Brick City, and we look forward to the unique energy of Fight Night.”

“This is going to be a great night in New Jersey,” said promoter Eddie Hearn. “It’s great to have Andy as part of the Matchroom team, and everyone knows that at his best, he can be a devastating performer. Andy is driven to getting back into the World title mix, so September 4 is a must-win night for him against the giant Pole Knyba.

“Mielnicki Jr. vs. Williams is a cracking fight in the Middleweight division, with Vito stepping up in his first bout with Matchroom to take on the always-dangerous Ammo who has the World title experience to build on – the winner of this one is going to arrow in on a massive fight at 160lbs later this year.

“I’m excited to see Zaquin fight at home for the first time in his young career, it’s really important that rising stars like Zaquin get the opportunity to shine in front of their own fans at home.

“There’s going to be plenty more top-class action to be added to the card on a night of first for so many, not least for us at Matchroom as we head to the fantastic Prudential Center side the first time with our first promotion as part of the exciting new series “The Fight” with TNT and DAZN – I cannot wait to get to The Garden State for this huge night on September 4.”

July 17, 2026 – Popular Irish light heavyweight contender “Mighty” Joe Ward, a 2016 Olympian from Athlone, will take on unbeaten Artjom Kasparian in a 10-rounder as part of the main card for ZUFFA BOXING 10: MCKENNA vs. OLIHA on Saturday, August 8, at Dublin’s 3Arena.

Ward (12-1, 8 KOs) has won 12 consecutive fights since suffering a dislocated left knee against Marco Delgado in his 2019 professional debut. Ward avenged the loss to Delgado in 2021 and has won four straight by stoppage. Kasparian (14-0, 12 KOs), who was born in Russia, raised in the Netherlands, and now fights out of Altrincham, England, has knocked out his last seven foes. 

In other main card action, rising Irish-American cruiserweight Patrick O’Connor (3-0, 3 KOs) meets fellow unbeaten Ibrahim Mercan (6-0-1) in a six-rounder. O’Connor was a 2024 U.S. National Champion as an amateur before turning pro in June 2025. 

As previously announced on the main card, the top of the bill will be a 12-round middleweight world title showdown between Ireland’s Aaron McKenna (20-0, 10 KOs) and Italy’s Etinosa Oliha (22-0, 10 KOs). In the 10-round middleweight co-feature, Irish fan-favorite “King” Callum Walsh (16-0, 11 KOs) returns to 3Arena to face Tyler Denny (21-4-3, 1 KO). Scotland’s rising middleweight star Sam Hickey (5-0, 2 KOs), fresh off a Performance of the Night KO win on ZUFFA BOXING 07 in Bournemouth, battles Brad Axe (5-1) in an eight-rounder.

The preliminary card features a trio of middleweight bouts. 

Stevie McKenna (16-1, 15 KOs), Aaron’s older brother, takes on Owen O’Neill (14-2, 1 KO) in an all-Irish eight-rounder. 

Connor Coyle (22-0, 10 KOs), making his first appearance in Dublin since 2017, fights upset-minded American Mark Beuke (13-3, 7 KOs) in a 10-rounder. Beuke earned a split-decision victory over Antonio Woods in February on ZUFFA BOXING 03. 

Former Commonwealth super welterweight champion Louis Greene (18-4, 12 KOs) makes his 2026 debut in a six-rounder against an opponent to be named.

ATLANTA (July 16, 2026) – Knockout artist and rising star Ernesto “Tito” Mercado has signed a long-term partnership with Salita Promotions and Wynn Records.  The 140-pound contender will face Emmanuel Tagoe in the co-main event on the Claressa Shields vs. Kaye Scott blockbuster card on Saturday, Aug. 15 live on DAZN (9 p.m. ET) from State Farm Arena in Atlanta. 

Mercado (19-0, 18 KOs) has knocked out eight straight opponents, including his last three against former champions or world title challengers.  The 24-year-old last went the distance in 2023 in his only fight outside of North America. 

Mercado will compete in the stacked 140-pound division, where he has his sights set on the division’s top stars, including Shakur Stevenson, Richardson Hitchins, Keyshawn Davis, Dalton Smith and Emiliano Vargas.  The 5-foot-10 native of Pompano, Calif., is currently ranked No. 4 by the WBO and No. 5 by the IBF. 

Mercado has gone past the sixth round just twice as his level of opposition has steadily increased since turning professional in 2021.  As an amateur, he fought against top international competition and compiled a 278-11 record while capturing 21 national championships.  Mercado was introduced to boxing by his father and longtime trainer, Ernesto Sr. 

“Dmitriy Salita and Ruben Branson saw the same thing my team has always seen in me—a future world champion,” Mercado said.  “What made this the right fit was that it felt like family.  That’s important to me because boxing has always been a family business.  My father has been my trainer since I was five years old, and I wanted to be with a team that believes in me, keeps me active and shares the same vision for where my career is headed.”

Mercado will look to stay busy after signing with Salita Promotions and Wynn Records, fighting less than two months after his June knockout victory over Juan Carlos Burgos. 

“There were other opportunities, but this one felt different,” Mercado said.  “Salita stays active, puts on quality shows and keeps his fighters busy. I’m an active fighter, and I want to fight the best as often as possible.  I believe this partnership puts me in the best position to become a world champion.”

Another added benefit is the platform that Claressa’s events provide, with Shields a consistent attraction on DAZN and one of the top box office performers in the sport. 

“It’s a huge opportunity to fight on Claressa’s event on DAZN,” Mercado said.  “Claressa brings excitement, she brings fans, and she always puts on a big event.  I’m looking forward to being part of that and doing my job in the co-main event.  I want to set the tone early and give the fans something to remember.”

With his top-five rankings in the IBF and WBO, Mercado not only looks to stay active but challenge for a world title in the immediate future.  

“The goal is simple – become a world champion,” Mercado said.  “That’s what we’ve been working toward my entire life.  Every fight is another step closer, and I want to put myself in a position where the biggest fights can’t be avoided.”

In Tagoe (34-2, 16 KOs), Mercado will face a veteran opponent who has only suffered two defeats – a 2022 decision to boxing superstar Ryan Garcia and his professional debut in his native Ghana.

“There wasn’t a lot of time to find an opponent, but I think they picked the right guy,” Mercado said.  “He went the distance with Ryan Garcia, so this is an opportunity for me to make a statement. I want to go in there, get him out of there and continue climbing the rankings.”

Dmitriy Salita, of Salita Promotions, and Ruben Branson, of Wynn Records, have watched Mercado’s career from a distance and pounced at the opportunity to sign boxing’s most prized free agent.  Together, they look to advance Mercado to a world championship and bridge the gap to develop Mercado into a star outside the ring.

“We’re excited to welcome Tito Mercado to Salita Promotions alongside our partners at Wynn Records,” said Dmitriy Salita, President of Salita Promotions.  “Tito is one of the most exciting young fighters in boxing today.  His knockout power, discipline, and relentless style make him a must-watch every time he steps into the ring.  We believe he has the talent and work ethic to become one of the biggest stars in the sport, and we’re proud to be part of what we believe can be a historic journey.”

“From the first conversations, it was clear Tito Mercado embodies everything we’re building at Wynn Records—discipline, confidence, fearlessness and an unwavering commitment to greatness,” said Ruben Branson, CEO of Wynn Records.  “Tito has already shown he belongs among the very best in the sport.  Together with Dmitriy Salita, our vision is to build more than champions—we’re building global brands and creating opportunities that elevate fighters to the biggest stages.  Tito is a tremendous addition to our family, and we’re excited to help him take the next step toward becoming a world champion while continuing to grow the future of our organization.”

Presented by Salita Promotions in partnership with Wynn Records, Claressa Shields Promotions and Route 30 Promotions, and presenting sponsor Zeus Network, the historic event marks the first women’s headliner at State Farm Arena.  Remaining tickets for Aug. 15 are available on Ticketmaster.com.

NEW YORK, NY – July 16, 2026 – Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) and TikTok LIVE today announced a special collaboration bringing championship boxing to TikTok LIVE for the first time ever on Friday, August 21 at Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, California. The partnership marks another industry-defining first for MVP, bringing elite championship boxing to TikTok’s global community, and furthers the promotion’s mission to expand the sport through innovative disruption and unprecedented access for fans worldwide, including MVP’s loyal and hard-to-reach Gen Alpha and Gen Z audience. 

The event is headlined by boxing trailblazer and unified featherweight champion Amanda “The Real Deal” Serrano (49-4-1, 32 KOs), who will seek to break the all-time women’s knockout record against Argentina’s #2 WBO contender Lucrecia Manzur (14-4, 7 KOs). Serrano vs. Manzur will also mark another milestone in women’s boxing as the first-ever unified women’s world championship contested over 12 two-minute rounds for the unified WBA and WBO featherweight world titles at 126 pounds. The landmark moment follows Serrano’s record-shattering accolades as the most-decorated fighter in women’s boxing history. Already a seven-division champion, the first male or female Puerto Rican undisputed world champion, and the first woman to headline Madison Square Garden, Serrano also became the first to defend her unified titles under equal rules to men’s champions and competed in the most-watched professional women’s sports match ever in the U.S. She will now capture two further historic firsts as she becomes the first unified boxing champion to compete 12, two minute rounds and to have a title fight streamed live on TikTok. Tickets for Serrano vs. Manzur are on sale now at Ticketmaster. All media wishing to be credentialed for Serrano vs. Manzur must apply HERE.

In addition to Amanda Serrano, the event will feature MVP’s US Olympian Jahmal Harvey (3-0, 2 KO) vs. Mexico’s Hammet Keb (7-2-1, 6 KOs) in a 6 round lightweight bout at 135lbs and MVP’s undefeated Brazilian boxer and influencer Jully Poca (1-0), the most-followed active female boxer in the world, vs. Arlington, Texas prospect Cinderella Linnear (1-0) in a 4-round super lightweight bout at 140lbs. Also on the card will be MVP’s undefeated rising contender Roxy Verduzco (7-0, 1 KO) vs. Miguelina Hernandez (4-0, 3 KOs) in an 8-round featherweight bout, MVP’s Olympic bronze medalist, European champion, and five-time German national champion Nelvie Tiafack (4-0, 3 KOs) vs. Mexico’s Salvador Zavala (7-0, 5 KOs) in a 6-round heavyweight bout, and MVP’s and Indio, California’s Jocelyn Camarillo (6-0, 1 KO) vs. Mexico’s Ashley Felix (7-4, 1 KO) in a 6-round minimumweight bout at 105lbs.

Amanda “The Real Deal” Serrano is the first-ever Puerto Rican undisputed world champion and the most decorated fighter in women’s boxing history, recognized by the Guinness World Records for the most boxing world championships won by a female in different weight classes. Serrano is currently the unified featherweight champion holding the WBO, WBA and Ring Magazine titles, and is MVP’s first signee and signed the first-ever lifetime combat sports contract with MVP to become Chairwoman of MVP’s women’s boxing initiatives post her in-ring retirement. In her most recent bout on MVPW-03 in May 2026, Serrano tied the all-time women’s boxing record as she earned her 32nd professional KO against Cheyenne Hanson live on ESPN.

“I’ve dedicated my career to creating opportunities for women’s boxing and bringing our sport to the biggest stages possible, so to headline the first-ever championship boxing event on TikTok is incredibly meaningful,” said Amanda Serrano. “Women’s boxing deserves to be seen by as many people around the world as possible, and this partnership gives us the chance to introduce our sport to a massive global audience in a completely new way. I’m also proud that Lucrecia and I will be making history in the first-ever unified women’s world championship contested over 12 two-minute rounds. Every time I step into the ring, I’m fighting for Puerto Rico, and on Friday, August 21, I have the opportunity to make history for my island, break the all-time women’s knockout record, and defend my world titles. This will be a night to remember for Temecula and boxing fans around the world.”

Lucrecia Manzur is a 27-year-old fighter from San Miguel, Tucuman, Argentina. She made her professional debut in 2020, and entered her first title challenge in 2023 for the vacant Argentina super featherweight title before challenging Karen Carabajal for the South American super featherweight title. Later that year she moved down to the featherweight division, immediately challenging Daniela Bermudez for the Argentine title. In 2024, Manzur entered her latest dominant streak, collecting the South American title, then winning the Argentine title by TKO. In November 2024, Manzur successfully defended her titles while also winning the WBO Latino featherweight title by dominant unanimous decision. She earned a TKO win in her next defense and most recently won by UD in defense of her WBO title. She is the #2 WBO contender.

“I’ve been asking for this opportunity for a very long time. Ever since I started boxing, I’ve dreamed of fighting for a world title, and now I have the chance to do it against one of the sport’s true icons and someone I’ve always admired—Amanda Serrano. I have tremendous respect for everything Amanda has accomplished and for the legacy she has built. But once we step into the ring, my focus is on winning,” said Lucrecia Manzur. “I’m confident in my preparation, my abilities, and the work we’ve put in together. In one month, I believe Tucumán and all of Argentina will be celebrating a new world champion.”

“From day one, MVP has challenged the traditional boxing model by creating the biggest moments and opportunities for fighters while finding new ways to bring the sport to fans around the world,” said Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian, co-founders of Most Valuable Promotions. “Partnering with TikTok to deliver the first-ever championship boxing event on TikTok LIVE is another example of that vision to grow the audience for boxing and make world championship fights more accessible than ever. This event will also further activate MVP’s loyal fanbase among hard-to-reach Gen Z and Gen Alpha audiences, demographics that MVP has consistently reached better than anyone else in the sport.

US Olympian and amateur world champion Jahmal Harvey, an Oxon Hill, Maryland native, is a 10x national champion, 2021 world champion, Continental Championships silver medalist and gold medalist at the Santiago Pan American Games.

Harvey signed with Most Valuable Promotions ahead of his pro debut–a KO win–on MVP’s Most Valuable Prospects 14 in August 2025, heralded as one of the top prospects in American boxing. He then earned a UD win on the main Netflix card of MVP’s Jake vs. Joshua: Judgment Day in December 2025, before earning a TKO win on MVPW-02 in April 2026.

“I’m happy to be back out and fighting on a great MVP show in California on Friday, August 21,” said Jahmal Harvey. “I’m looking to show everyone why I’m one of the very best prospects in the game.”

Mexico’s Hammet Keb (7-2-1, 6 KOs) is a 26-year-old prospect from Veracruz, Mexico.

Hailing from São Paulo, Brazil, Jully Poca is a powerhouse athlete who has dominated the crossover boxing scene with an undefeated record. Originally Brazil’s premier female fitness influencer, her life took a sharp turn in 2023 when she competed in the UK alongside megastar Whindersson Nunes. She discovered a profound passion and began training as a full-time boxer. Poca made her fully sanctioned professional debut with Most Valuable Promotions on MVPW-04 in June 2026. Beyond her technical prowess, Jully first captured the Brazilian public’s heart when she intervened in a violent road-rage incident, physically subduing a man who was attacking two women until police arrived. With 3 million Instagram followers, Poca was the most-followed female professional boxer in the world the moment she made her pro debut, defeating Monica Medina.

“I’m over the moon that my second bout with MVP is already scheduled! From the moment we sealed the deal, I emphasized the importance of staying busy, and it’s amazing to see that vision become a reality,” said Jully Poca. “I will be training with Ross Enamait and Katie Taylor and can’t wait to help Katie in any way I can for her farewell fight as well! You can expect a lot of improvements on my game once again.”

She became a 21x national champion and amateur world champion, qualifying for the 2019 Olympic Trials. Coming from four generations of fighters, Verduzco draws inspiration from her uncle, undefeated kickboxer Benny “The Jet” Urquidez, and her mother, who introduced her to boxing and is her greatest motivation. Outside the ring, Verduzco, a dual citizen of Mexico and the United States, enjoys traveling and reading, owns a coffee truck, and is currently learning piano.

“I’m excited to step back into the ring for my first fight under MVP,” said Roxy Verduzco. “I was supposed to fight back in May, but due to circumstances out of my control it didn’t happen. So to now be making my MVP debut on the West Coast in California is special. I’m proud to represent the West Coast and ready to be back in action after a long layoff. This will be an action packed card full of great fighters and I’m one of them.”

Miguelina Hernandez is a professional boxer with a record of 4-0, with three knockouts. The Dominican Republic prospect is 28 years old.

About Amanda Serrano

Amanda “The Real Deal” Serrano is the first-ever Puerto Rican undisputed world champion and the most decorated fighter in women’s boxing history, recognized by the Guinness World Records for the most boxing world championships won by a female in different weight classes. Serrano, currently the unified featherweight champion holding the WBO, WBA and Ring Magazine titles, is Most Valuable Promotions’ first signee, who also signed the first ever lifetime combat sports contract with MVP and will become Chairwoman of MVP’s women’s boxing initiatives to lead the company’s efforts in identifying, signing, developing and marketing the promotion’s growing roster of female athletes post her in-ring retirement. Serrano faced off against Katie Taylor for the first time at Madison Square Garden in April 2022, making history as the first women’s fight to headline Madison Square Garden, earning global acclaim and winning Sports Illustrated’s Fight of the Year and The Ring’s Event of the Year for 2022. Taylor vs. Serrano was also nominated for Sports Business Journal’s Event of the Year, a testament to the global reach and power of the event. Following the historic bout, Serrano defeated Sarah Mahfoud and Erika Cruz en-route to becoming the undisputed featherweight champion. She successfully defended her undisputed title in August 2023 against Heather Hardy before making history again, defeating Danila Ramos in October 2023 in the first-ever women’s unified world championship contested over 12 three-minute rounds—equal to a men’s championship fight. She threw a career-high 1,103 punches in the bout, solidifying her status as a trailblazer for gender equality in boxing. In recognition of her achievements inside and outside the ring, Serrano was named the Boxing Writers Association of America (BWAA) Female Fighter of the Year for 2023, as well as Sports Illustrated’s and Boxing Scene’s 2023 Women’s Fighter of the Year. She continued her dominance in July 2024, scoring a second-round knockout victory over Stevie Morgan in a super lightweight bout.

Serrano went on to face Katie Taylor in the most anticipated women’s boxing rematch in modern history in the co-main event of MVP’s Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson card on Netflix in November 2024. The undisputed super lightweight title fight averaged 74 million live viewers globally and became the most-watched professional women’s sports event in US history with 47 million AMA in the US. The bout ended in a razor-thin decision victory for Taylor, sparking global debate and skyrocketing Serrano’s social following to over 1.2 million. #Serrano also trended at #2 on X in the US, Brazil, Spain, and Canada post-fight, further cementing her status as a global icon. Serrano then faced Taylor a third and final time atop an all-women’s event at Madison Square Garden, commanding the world’s attention once again on Netflix, continuing to break barriers for women in combat sports with a historic trilogy. Serrano made her long-awaited homecoming to Puerto Rico in a unified featherweight title defense of her WBO and WBA featherweight titles in January 2026, defeating challenger Reina Tellez. In her most recent bout on MVPW-03 in May 2026, Serrano tied the all-time women’s boxing record, previously held by Christy Martin, as she earned her 32nd professional KO against Germany’s top contender Cheyenne Hanson.

About Jahmal Harvey

US Olympian and amateur world champion Jahmal Harvey was introduced to boxing at age 13 by his football coach Darrell Davis, who also owned a boxing gym. After competing in both sports, Harvey, an Oxon Hill, Maryland native, soon went all-in on boxing and immediately proved his elite potential at the junior, youth, and amateur levels, becoming a 10x national champion. By 18, he was training and sparring with Olympians, including Keyshawn Davis and Duke Ragan. That same year, he captured gold at the 2021 Elite World Championships— becoming the first American male to win the world title since 2007, while competing as one of the youngest athletes in the tournament. The next year, he took home silver at the 2022 Continental Championships and continued to dominate at the international level in 2023, winning gold at the Santiago Pan American Games. The finish qualified him for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, where he finished as a quarter-finalist. The 22-year-old Harvey signed with Most Valuable Promotions ahead of his professional debut–a knockout win–on MVP’s Most Valuable Prospects 14 in August 2025, heralded as one of the top prospects in American boxing. He earned a UD win on the main Netflix card of MVP’s Jake vs. Joshua: Judgment Day in December 2025, and then took home a fifth round TKO win on MVPW-02 in April 2026.

Under the tutelage of renowned coach Antonio Filho, the mentor behind former WBO champion Rose Volante, Poca has solidified her status by going undefeated to date and made her fully sanctioned professional debut with Most Valuable Promotions on MVPW-04 in June 2026. Beyond her technical prowess, Jully possesses a magnetic public profile built on genuine courage. She first captured the Brazilian public’s heart when she intervened in a violent road-rage incident, physically subduing a man who was attacking two women until police arrived.
