Uncrowned has Edgar Berlanga vs. Hamzah Sheeraz and Shakur Stevenson vs. William Zepeda live results, round-by-round updates, highlights, ring walks and start time for the Berlanga vs. Sheeraz and Stevenson vs. Zepeda fight card on Saturday night at the Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York. In the night’s main event, Britain’s Sheeraz looks to score a career-best win over Berlanga in his super middleweight debut, while Stevenson defends his WBC lightweight title against Zepeda in the co-feature.
Berlanga (23-1, 18 KOs) lost a wide unanimous decision to boxing’s biggest star, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, for the unified super middleweight title this past September. The Nuyorican rebounded with a monstrous opening-round knockout win over Jonathan Gonzalez-Ortiz in March.

Sheeraz (21-0-1, 17 KOs) was unsuccessful in his attempt to become WBC middleweight champion this past February, drawing with Carlos Adames. However, a win over Berlanga will make him a frontrunner to potentially face Alvarez next February, according to boxing financier Turki Alalshikh.
In the night’s co-main event, Stevenson, Uncrowned’s No. 10 male pound-for-pound boxer, defends his WBC lightweight championship against his mandatory challenger, Zepeda.
Stevenson (23-0, 11 KOs), a three-division world champion, was last in action when he stopped Britain’s Josh Padley this past February in his debut for Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing.

Zepeda (33-0, 27 KOs) was pushed to the limit in back-to-back fights with Tevin Farmer in recent months, but managed to walk away with closely contested victories on both occasions.
The Berlanga vs. Sheeraz main card starts at 6 p.m. ET on DAZN pay-per-view, with main event ring walks expected around 10 p.m. ET.
