Boxing is heating up with a packed summer schedule, intensifying as July progresses. Katie Taylor secured a victory in her trilogy match against Amanda Serrano at Madison Square Garden, maintaining her undisputed junior welterweight title. Shakur Stevenson followed suit by defeating William Zepeda, retaining his title, while Hamza Ciaraz emerged as the leading super middleweight contender after a TKO win over Edgar Berlanga.
