Edgar Berlanga vs Hamzah Sheeraz LIVE RESULTS: Shakur Stevenson vs William Zepeda ON NOW before huge main event
WBC lightweight champ Shakur Stevenson is defending his belt against Zepeda in what is a massive clash in a stacked division.
Brit Sheeraz, 26, is yet to taste defeat - but his most recent fight ended in disappointment after a controversial draw with WBC middleweight champion Carlos Adames cost him the belt.
Meanwhile, battling Berlanga recently bounced back from his 2024 Canelo Alvarez loss in emphatic fashion by knocking out Jonathan Gonzalez-Ortiz in the first round.

Up next - David Morrell vs Iman Khataev
We've got a very decent light-heavyweight clash coming up next.
This is expected to be a cracker with both men ranked inside the top 10 by The Ring Magazine.
Cuban Morrell (11-1, 9KOs) is the slight favourite over the undefeated Chechnyan, who now fights out of Australia (10-0, 9KOs).
With those KO numbers we are expecting an absolute cracker.
Both men are in the ring now and we should be underway very shortly.

Reito Tsutsumi BEATS Michael Ruiz
We are off and running with the first result of the evening!
That was a beautiful display of boxing by hard-hitting Japanese starlet Reito Tsutsumi!
In just his second pro fight, the lightweight got rid of Ruiz out of there in the second round.
He fired in a series of absolutely brutal body shots.
Ruiz was down twice in the first round but managed to survive the bell, but didn't last much longer as the fight went into the second round.
The KO came from an uppercut with the left.
Some gorgeous shots in there.

Two-goal hero Cole Palmer says Chelsea silenced doubters with Club World Cup win
Cole Palmer hit back at Chelsea's critics after firing them to Club World Cup glory in New York. The England international scored two fine goals and set up a third for Joao Pedro as the Blues claimed a stunning 3-0 win over Champions League winners Paris St Germain at the MetLife Stadium. Victory, which landed the Blues a jackpot in excess of £90million, was also a tactical triumph for manager Enzo Maresca. Asked about how the team is developing under the Italian, Palmer told DAZN: 'He's building something special, something important with a young team. 'Everyone's talked a lot of s*** about us all season, but I feel like we're going in the right direction.' Reflecting on the game, Palmer added: 'Obviously it's a great feeling, even better because everyone doubted us before the game. We knew that and to go out there and put a fight on like we did against a great team, yes, it's good. 'The gaffer put a great gameplan out. Obviously he knew where the space was going to be and he tried to free me up as much as possible, and I just had to repay him and score some goals.' Palmer – whose double and assist all came within the space of 21 first-half minutes – was also the decisive player as Chelsea beat Real Betis in the Europa Conference League final in May. Maresca said: 'These are the games where we expect Cole to appear – big games and big moments – and once again he showed how good he is.' The tournament itself has been controversial and derided in many quarters but Maresca is in no doubt of the prestige it will bring the club. As well as the significant prize money, Chelsea will be entitled to wear a badge on their shirts confirming their status as world champions for the next four years. Maresca said: 'I think it will become as important as the Champions League and we value it as much as winning the Champions League. 'It has been the (best) effort from the team and all the players. I am very happy, especially for them because they deserve the moment. 'Had you told me we were going to win 3-0 in the first half I wouldn't have expected that but we knew we were going to put up a fight and we knew our squad is really competitive against talented teams.' PSG's misery was complete five minutes from time when Joao Neves was sent off for pulling Marc Cucurella's hair. Frustration was also evident as scuffles broke out after the final whistle. PSG manager Luis Enrique became involved in one incident that ended with Pedro on the ground. Enrique said: 'I saw Maresca had pushed others (away) and we had to separate all the players. 'This is a situation we must all avoid. My intention is that I wanted to separate the footballers so the situation didn't become worse.'

Bombshell LeBron James trade rumors erupt as 'FOUR teams reach out to his agent Rich Paul'
The bombshell revelation that multiple teams have expressed interest in trading for Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has shocked the NBA. James' future with the Lakers has been the subject of plenty of speculation in the offseason - which only ramped up on Saturday night. ESPN's Dave McMenamin invited James onto a broadcast of an NBA Summer League game featuring his son Bronny James to address his future - only for LeBron to reply, 'I ain't got nothing to talk about'. However, McMenamin did report that four NBA teams had reached out to the Lakers to try and acquire him. While McMenamin didn't reveal the identities of the four teams in his report, others later revealed those who were interested. According to NBA insider Brandon 'Scoop B' Robinson, the teams hoping to make a move for James are the Dallas Mavericks, the Golden State Warriors, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Los Angeles Clippers. The biggest surprise on this list might be the Mavericks, considering the two teams were at the center of a shocking trade in the middle of the season when the Lakers acquired Luka Doncic while sending Anthony Davis and other pieces to Dallas. For the Mavericks to now turn around and want James would be a bit surprising. However, it would re-unite him with Davis and former teammate Kyrie Irving. LeBron would also serve as something of a mentor to the Mavericks' first-round draft pick, Cooper Flagg. James previously praised Flagg after a training session before the Paris Olympics in 2024. Turning to Golden State, James would get the chance to be teammates with Steph Curry for the first time in a non-Team USA capacity. James would also form an aging 'Big Three' with Curry and mid-season acquisition Jimmy Butler. But LeBron also has a weird history with Golden State - having faced them in four consecutive NBA Finals appearances from 2015-2018 as a member of the Cavaliers. LeBron would win the 2016 Finals, but lost the other three appearances. Which brings us to Cleveland. If the Cavs traded for him, it would be LeBron's third stint with his hometown team and would serve as a fitting team for him to retire on. Cleveland also is in the midst of a competitive window having finished atop the Eastern Conference at the end of the regular season. Finally, there's the Clippers. LeBron would be able to switch to a more competitive team while staying in the same city. Plus, adding him to a roster with the likes of James Harden, Kawhi Leonard, and Ben Simmons would be a strong lineup. However, it would be something of a surprise if the Lakers decided to trade one of their biggest stars to their cross-town rivals. The Clippers and Lakers have only been partners in seven trades throughout their history, with the most recent one involving just the two teams coming in 2019 - when the Lakers gave up Michael Beasley and Ivica Zubac to the Clippers for Mike Muscala.

Jose Fermin's first MLB home run leads Cardinals past Braves
July 14 - Jose Fermin hit his first big league homer, a two-run shot, to lift the St. Louis Cardinals past the visiting Atlanta Braves 5-4 Sunday. The game was marred by two rain delays totaling more than four hours. Umpire Brennan Miller ejected Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol in the ninth inning for disputing ball-and-strike calls Willson Contreras drove in two runs and Masyn Winn scored twice as the Cardinals avoided a three-game sweep by the Braves. St. Louis starter Sonny Gray allowed one run on three hits in three innings before rain halted the game. He struck out five and walked none. Steven Matz replaced Gray after the first delay and allowed two runs on three hits in 1 2/3 innings. Winning pitcher Gordon Graceffo (3-0), Riley O'Brien and Ryan Helsley (19th save) worked after the second delay. Matt Olson drove in three runs and Michael Harris II scored twice for the Braves. Braves starter Davis Daniel, recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett for this game, allowed one run on two hits and three walks in four innings. He struck out five. Jesse Chavez (0-1) took the loss after allowing four runs on six hits and a walk in two innings. The Cardinals took a 1-0 lead in the second inning. Winn walked, stole second base and scored on Victor Scott II's infield single. Gray retired the first eight batters he faced. Then Nick Allen, Jurickson Profar and Olson hit two-out singles in the third inning to tie the game 1-1. Atlanta pulled ahead 3-1 in the fifth inning. Harris hit a single and went to third on Profar's single. Profar advanced to second on a throwing error. Olson stroked a two-run single before the rain returned. After a delay exceeding 2 hours, 40 minutes, the Cardinals tied the game 3-3 in the fifth inning. Scott walked and went to third on Alec Burleson's single, then Contreras popped a two-run double down the right field line. St. Louis moved ahead 5-3 in the sixth inning on a single by Winn and Fermin's homer. Atlanta cut its deficit to 5-4 in the seventh inning. Harris hit a leadoff double, went to third on a groundout and came home on Profar's grounder, which was mishandled by Graceffo. --Field Level Media
