British boxer Hamzah Sheeraz made a thunderous debut in the super middleweight division, demolishing Edgar Berlanga in a fifth-round stoppage. Sheeraz floored Berlanga three times in a dominant performance that sent a clear message to the 168-pound division. The fight headlined a historic night at New York’s USTA Billie Jean King Center—the first pro boxing card held at the iconic tennis venue. Meanwhile, Shakur Stevenson gritted out a tough defense of his lightweight title on the undercard.

Editor’s Note: Sheeraz’s demolition job isn’t just another win—it’s a potential changing of the guard in the super middleweight division. Beating Berlanga, a previously hyped prospect, in such brutal fashion puts the Brit on the map for major fights. The unique venue choice also signals boxing’s push for fresh, high-profile settings. For fans, it’s a sign that the division just got a lot more interesting.
