Super middleweight Edgar Berlanga will make his Matchroom and DAZN debut facing Jason Quigley in a main event from Hulu Theater in New York on June 24. The 25-year-old Berlanga (20-0, 16 KO) signed with Matchroom after parting ways with Top Rank, and was fielding offers from various promoters, including Golden Boy. Though the buzz on him died off a bit after his first round stoppage streak came to a close, he still has a lot of star potential as a Puerto Rican fighter, a New Yorker, and a guy with a natural charisma. The 31-year-old Quigley (20-2, 14 KO), an Irish fighter, is probably best known for his two losses, one to Tureano Johnson in 2019 and another to Demetrius Andrade in a middleweight title fight in 2021. Quigley seemed like he was stuck and stagnating as a “middleweight prospect†for years, and then the hard reality is he lost clearly to the two best opponents he’s ever faced. His best win is probably over Shane Mosley Jr, a 10-round majority decision in May 2021. This fight was organised by Matchroom Boxing.
Australian fans will once again get the chance to see their favourite son of the soil Tim Tszyu (22-0) in action as he takes on Carlos Ocampo (35-2) on the Gold Coast this Sunday 18th June, putting his mandatory challenger status and interim WBO super-welterweight world title on the line. Tim Tszyu (22-0) 28-year-old knocked out highly rated American Tony Harrison in his last fight, but expects a very different challenge when he takes on the Mexican hard man. The title contender only has one knockout loss on his impressive 35-2 record and that came when WBC, WBO and IBF welterweight world champion Errol Spence Jr dismantled him in the first round with some vicious body shots. Carlos Ocampo (35-2) made his professional debut in July 2012. Ocampo has won his first 21 pro bouts, with wins over the likes of Jorge Páez Jr. and former world title challenger Charlie Navarro. In July 2017,Â

Josh Taylor (19-0, 13 KO) will defend his WBO super-lightweight championship against Teofimo Lopez (18-1, 13 KO). The two decorated fighters clash inside Madison Square Garden's Hulu Theatre on June 10. Taylor, now 32, became the UK's first undisputed champion in the four belt era when he beat Jose Ramirez in 2021 to unify the IBF, WBA, WBC and WBO 140lb titles. Lopez was recognised as the leading lightweight in the world when he beat Vasiliy Lomachenko and unified three championship titles. He suffered an upset loss to George Kambosos and moved up a division last year, winning both of his fights, against Pedro Campa and Sandor Martin, at 140lbs.
