After fights that included Gervonta “Tank” Davis rewarding fans at a sold-out Barclays Center with a stunning knockout at the end of May, boxing returns to both Madison Square Garden and Barclays Center in the coming weeks.
Former world champion Danny “Swift” Garcia, who headlined the very first fight card at Barclays Center, moves up to the super welterweight division to challenge Jose Benavidez Jr on Saturday, July 30 at Barclays Center.
The following week, on Saturday, August 6, YouTuber turned boxer Jake “The Problem Child” Paul will battle Hasim Rahman Jr at Madison Square Garden. Paul’s opponent is the son of Hasim Rahman, the former heavyweight champion who shocked the world by knocking out Lennox Lewis over two decades ago.
For boxing fans in New York City, it should be a couple of weeks of compelling boxing action.
