Prepare yourself for an exhilarating week ahead in the realm of boxing, packed with contests that are a must-watch for any fan:
Thursday, June 1
▪️Erik Bazinyan (29-0, 21 KOs), the holder of NABF and NABA super-middleweight titles, will defend his championship belts against Jose de Jesus Macias (28-11-4, 14 KOs) in a 10-round contest at Cabaret du Casino in Montreal, Canada.
Also gracing the event will be Steve Claggett, squaring off against Julian Rodriguez for the NABA super lightweight title in a similar 10-round match, and Mary Spencer locking horns with Adriana Dos Santos Araujo.
Saturday, June 3
▪️The undisputed dual-division female world champion, Claressa Shields (13-0, 2 KOs), is set to defend her titles against Maricela “La Diva” Cornejo (16-5, 6 KOs), who currently holds the #1 ranking as a middleweight contender in WBC, WBO, and IBF. The showdown will take center stage on June 3 at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit.
The initial plan involved Hanna Gabriels for a rematch with Shields. However, following Gabriels’ positive testing for a prohibited substance during a VADA test on May 2 as part of the WBC Clean Boxer Program, Salita Promotions, the event promoter, had to adjust the match-up accordingly.
