The promotion of the Edgar Berlanga vs. Hamzah Sheeraz and Shakur Stevenson vs. William Zepeda Doubleheader begins right this moment in a press convention at 1 pm ET on the Palladium in New York Metropolis to debate their July twelfth occasion. The cardboard will probably be staged outside on the Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York.
Turki Alalshikh has chosen one other distinctive setting for one in every of his playing cards, however this one will permit common followers to attend.

He’s a world champion and has performed much more along with his profession than Berlanga or Sheeraz. Shakur may flip the press convention right into a remedy session the place he unloads his grief, spilling it out to the media.
The press convention may use theatrics with Stevenson complaining. I doubt he’ll. It’s too unhealthy Zepeda doesn’t communicate English. That’s an issue that his final opponent, Tevin Farmer, had in making an attempt to advertise their two fights. He couldn’t trash-talk him to get him to reply as a result of he couldn’t communicate English. Stevenson isn’t actually all that good at slamming his opponents, and making an attempt to anger them.. His experience is bragging.
Berlanga’s Function in Promotion
Berlanga’s opponent, Sheeraz (21-0-1, 17 KOs), isn’t well-known to U.S followers, and he’s not a lot of a trash talker. So, it will likely be as much as Berlanga to get followers amped up about this combat. With Edgar being the principle man, it’s his duty to attempt to promote the occasion
