底特律 (JULY 15, 2025)– Embodying the Detroit fighting spirit, Harrison boasts a highly decorated career that spans over fourteen years. On a mission to reclaim a world title, Harrison is set to step back into the ring for the first time since his WBO Interim Super Welterweight showdown against Tim Tszyu in 2023. A force in the super welterweight division, Harrison defeated Jermell Charlo in 2018 to become the WBC Super Welterweight Champion, giving Charlo his first defeat. 這次, Harrison is gearing up to perform for his hometown fans in the Motor City as the co-main event of the highly anticipatedClaressa Shields vs. Lani DanielsHeavyweight World Championship event on星期六, 七月 26, at Little Caesars Arena.
Opposite Harrison will be Dominican Republic’sEdward Diaz (15-6, 12 科斯). A heavy-handed competitor, Diaz is on the heels of a knockout victory over Juan Martinez.
The GWOAT, Claressa盾 (16-0, 3 科斯), will return home on Saturday, 七月 26, when she puts her Undisputed Heavyweight World Championship on the line in the main event atLittle Caesars Arenaagainst the reigning IBF Lt. Heavyweight World Champion from New Zealand, Lani Daniels (11-2-2, 1 KO). 盾VS. Daniels will air live on the global home of boxing, DAZN. 希爾茲, the most decorated female boxer in history, made headlines earlier this year by becoming the first woman ever to claim the Undisputed Heavyweight World Championship—and the first boxer, 男女不限, to achieve undisputed status in three weight divisions.
德米特里Salita, 的Salita促銷總裁:
“Tony Harrison and his family are the bedrock of the Detroit boxing community — deeply rooted, respected, and committed to giving back. It’s meaningful that Tony, the last world champion from Detroit, will be fighting at Little Caesars Arena, just minutes from where he grew up. Alongside Claressa Shields, another Michigan-born icon, this event showcases the strength, pride, and legacy of boxing in our great state.”
托尼·哈里森:
“I can’t wait to fight in my hometown of Detroit on July 26th. The middleweight division better take notice — I’m coming for my second world title, and I’m more focused than ever.”
“It’s incredible to see what Salita is doing for boxing in Detroit. We’re here in my gym, right in the heart of the city, with cameras and photographers — and the kids see it. They get inspired. I’m fighting just down the street at Little Caesars Arena, 住在DAZN上, and that kind of visibility motivates the next generation. That’s what it’s all about.”
LAS VEGAS – July 15, 2025 - The fighting pride of the Philippines, an eight-division world champion and as of last month, an inductee into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. While it seems like the larger than life曼尼“吃豆人”帕奎奧has accomplished everything you can in the sport, he could add yet another chapter to his historic legacy this Saturday, 七月 19 when he challenges WBC Welterweight World Champion馬里奧·“阿茲特卡”·巴里奧斯in the main event of a PBC Pay-Per-View event on Prime Video from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
In addition to becoming the first fighter to accomplish the incomprehensible feat of winning a world title after a Hall of Fame induction, Pacquiao could break his own record as the oldest welterweight world champion in history if he takes the WBC belt from Barrios. Pacquiao originally set the mark in July 2019, as he defeated the previously unbeaten Keith Thurman at 40-years-old. In an era that’s seen superstars in their 40’s such as Tom Brady and LeBron James continue to excel at the highest levels, Pacquiao is out to prove once again that he’s a generational athlete that transcends the sport.
Pacquiao will return to the ring at a place that he’s made his own, the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, the fight capital of the world, as he makes his 16日appearance at the venue, more than any fighter in the venue’s considerable history. With his 15日main event on July 19, he ties the mark set by fellow legend Floyd Mayweather at the venue, and only trails Mayweather in total wins at the arena (15-10). The two inextricably linked all-time greats are also tied for the most title fights at MGM Grand with 12 each.
七月 19, Pacquiao will be facing a foe with a familiar fighting heritage in the Mexican-American Barrios, as Pacquiao has defeated a who’s-who of Mexico’s best throughout his career. Since the year 2003, Pacquiao has beaten 12 Mexican or Mexican-American fighters including legends such as Juan Manuel Marquez, 霍亞, 莫拉雷斯, Marco Antonio Barrera and Antonio Margarito. These triumphs include some of Pacquiao’s most notable wins and helped him earn the attention and adoration of boxing’s rabid Mexican fanbase.
While racking up all of these accomplishments, Pacquiao has garnered respect from a wide range of boxing luminaries who have shared their favorite “Manny Moments” ahead of the July 19 事件. Amongst those who spoke about Pacquiao were former opponents Thurman and Barrera, as well as former sparring partner and welterweight champion Shawn Porter.
“It’s never been about one moment for me when it comes to Manny Pacquiao,” said Thurman. “My favorite moment is any time he’s busted off those eight-punch combos. With an opponent on the ropes, world-class competition, and he just fires off an eight-set. It’s happened many times, but every time I’ve witnessed it, it’s sparked a little joy in my heart.”
“I have two favorite Manny moments, the first is when he beat Oscar De La Hoya, because I thought it was impossible,”賽義德·巴雷拉. “I thought it would never happen and then De La Hoya remained seated and it was over. The second one was the way he beat Miguel Cotto. It was two Hall of Famers and Manny being really impressive in that weight class.
“What makes Manny so special is the bond and closeness with his fans. His heart is what makes everyone like him. He likes to put on a show, give it all for the fans, 最重要的是, he becomes a warrior when he steps in the ring.”
“I have a rare Manny Pacquiao moment, because there aren’t too many that get to spar with the legend,” said Porter. “He flew me and my dad out to the Philippines and we met for the first time and he was like ‘okay this is gonna be fun.’ I was shocked because this was the first time that someone treated getting in the ring with me like it wasn’t a big deal…After I talked to my corner I turned around and took a step toward the center of the ring and it was like this moment came over me like ‘you’re sparring Manny Pacquiao.’ I was in a daze for like the first 10 秒. And he caught me with a good straight left hand in the first minute and it woke me up. I was like ‘that dude’s got some power’, and then we were off to the races.”
When prognosticating the results of this Saturday, 七月 19 配對, the oddsmakers have installed the younger reigning champion Barrios as a betting favorite. Renowned trainer and boxing analyst Stephen “Breadman” Edwards agrees with the sentiment, emphasizing how gargantuan the task at hand is for the 46-year-old great.
“It would be an incredible feat for a 46-year-old fighter to come back and win the welterweight world title,” said Edwards. “It’s hard to even imagine someone being off for a few years and then coming back at 46 and winning it. In all honesty, I think that this may be an impossible task. If anyone can do it, Manny can do it, but right now I’m favoring Barrios.”
Despite the odds, several of the polled boxers are favoring Pacquiao to pull off the upset, including Porter, 巴雷拉, and reigning WBA Super Lightweight World Champion Gary Antuanne Russell.
“Pacquiao is a punches in bunches type of guy and he can crack,”羅素說. “He’s shown that his punching power can get the job done. Barrios is youthful and a selective puncher. I don’t think he’s gonna be able to sit there and take pictures. Manny will make you pay if you wait too long. He’s always shown that he wants to get the fight going.
“Pacquiao is a high-tempo fighter and Barrios has struggled with that pace. Barrios is a tough competitor, but I feel like he still has a lot to learn. Manny has been in there with many champions and I believe he has the tools in his arsenal and that it’ll show the night of the fight. Barrios is gonna have to shock the world. He has to show enough to make Manny respect him. I’m leaning towards Manny being victorious, but may the best man win.”
“I do believe that Manny Pacquiao is gonna beat Mario Barrios,” said Porter. “I know that everyone is talking about his age. That’s the theme, can the old man beat the young man? I think this old man is always gonna be too much until he hangs up the gloves.”
“I think this will be a very interesting fight,” said Barrera. “Pacquiao is a superb warrior, an eight-division world champion who will give it his all and who likes to put on a show. This sets up to be a fight where we will really see these guys collide and make the fans the real winners.
“Barrios is an active defending champion, and while he’s not as complex as the other current champions, he will be dangerous once he steps into the ring. I would like to see Pacquiao win because of the legend that he is. I’ll go with Manny Pacquiao as the winner, but if Barrios wins, it’ll be because he proves that he’s the better fighter right now.”
No matter who you see winning on July 19, the evening is undoubtedly shaping up to be historic, and despite any doubts coming from the outside, Pacquiao has expressed the strong self-belief that he will leave the ring as world champion once again.
“The fire, determination and eagerness to work hard is still there,」帕奎奧說道. “I’m still enjoying running the mountains. Not every fighter has this feeling. This is a blessing, because I’ve been through so many big fights in my career and I’m still here. I’m back…It would mean a lot for me to become world champion again. Manny Pacquiao is always giving surprises to the fans. That’s my passion.”

SPRINGFIELD, 質量. (七月 10, 2025) - 現在, unbeaten junior middleweightAnthony “ATV” Velazquez (19-0-1, 14 科斯) may be boxing’s best kept secret, but the plan is for him to make a major jump from prospect to title challenger in 2026.
Fighting out of Springfield, 馬薩諸塞州, the 29-year-old Valezquez has flown under the radar, never fighting a world rated opponent or showcased on a marquee event. His manager, Gunther Fishgold, has set the stage for a breakout 2026 for his talented Puerto Rican-American fighter.
The plan calls for Velazquez, who is a promotional free agent, to fight three times, starting July 19日 在金神大賭場, plus two more times in 2025 or next January, to position him to be world rated and fight on larger stages by the first quarter of 2026.
“I want to be the best and I’m going to prove myself,” Valezquez remarked. “I’m boxing’s best kept secret, but everybody is going to know who I am very soon. I like this pace (fighting every 2-3 個月) because I’m always in the gym. No vacations; just the gym and home. This is my job and I’m working hard to keep my skills sharp. I get good work at our gym because my coach, 赫克托·貝爾穆德斯, always has fighters in from around the world. I’ve sparred a lot with (world-rated welterweight) Rohan Polanco (16-0, 10 科斯), the Dominican Olympian, and I spar bigger guys, 太, like super middleweightSteven Butler (36-5-1, 30 科斯) – ‘Bang Bang’ – who was there getting ready for his fight (六月 27, WKO4 vs. Jose de Jesus Macias). The work I get in the gym definitely helps me. It feels good fighting different people because they all have different styles.”
Team Velazquez hasn’t targeted any fighter in particular, but a natural foe is fellow New Englander, Chordale “The Gift” Booker (23-2, 11 科斯), of Stamford, 康涅狄格. Booker recently had his first world title shot, losing his challenge to unified (WBC & WBO) Super Welterweight World Champion塞巴斯蒂安·豐多拉 (21-1-1, 14 科斯) by way of a stoppage in round 4. One non-New Englander on Velazquez’ hit list for 2026, 也許, is welterweightAlexis “Lex” Rocha (25-2-1, 16 科斯), who is currently world rated at No. 1 (WBO), 別. 5 (IBF) 和No. 9 (WBC), but only if he decides to move up to the junior middleweight division.Velazquez is at training camp preparing for his July 19日return in an 8-round bout vs.Terry Chatwood(12-3-1) 在金神大賭場在安卡斯維爾, 康涅狄格, which is only a 1 ½ hour drive from Velazquez’ home in Springfield.
“I know Chatwood likes to box off his back foot and he’s tough,” Velazquez said, “but he has nothing I’m concerned with. I’m going to break him down and get him out of there. I’m comfortable in the ring. My defense and confidence have improved. And I enjoy fighting at Mohegan Sun because of its history in boxing and how close it is to Springfield. It’s like my second home (this will be his third fight there).”
Anthony Velazquez is ready to make moves in 2026. 信息:Facebook的: /AnthonyVelazquezInstagram: @anthonyvelazquez_

底特律 (JULY 9, 2025)– Salita Promotions has announced the signing of former WBC Super Welterweight Champion and proud Detroit nativeTony Harrison(29-4-1, 21 科斯) to their surging roster.
Embodying the Detroit fighting spirit, Harrison boasts a highly decorated career that spans over fourteen years. On a mission to reclaim a world title, Harrison is set to step back into the ring for the first time since his WBO Interim Super Welterweight showdown against Tim Tszyu in 2023. A force in the super welterweight division, Harrison defeated Jermell Charlo in 2018 to become the WBC Super Welterweight Champion, giving Charlo his first defeat. This time, Harrison is gearing up to perform for his hometown fans in the Motor City as the co-main event of the highly anticipatedClaressa Shields vs. Lani DanielsHeavyweight World Championship event on星期六, 七月 26, at Little Caesars Arena. Opposite Harrison will be Dominican Republic’sEdward Diaz (15-6, 12 科斯). A heavy-handed competitor, Diaz is on the heels of a knockout victory over Juan Martinez.
Boxing is in Harrison’s blood as he is a third-generation professional fighter. His grandfather, Henry Hank, fought from 1955 到 1972 and retired with a record of 62-31-4, 40 科斯. Henry’s son, Ali Salaam– Harrison’s father and former trainer, now deceased – was a professional welterweight who fought from 1984 到 1989 and retired with a record of 11-6, 5 科斯.
“We are excited to get back in there and get to work,” said Harrison. “It’s been a minute, but we are going to roll out like George Foreman did for his comeback. I have a short window left, so we are going to be active, keep winning, and eventually get back to the mountain top. Regaining a world title is my No. 1 goal, and I am feeling very strong at 160. It all starts once again on July 26 in my hometown. Let’s eat.”
“Tony Harrison is the last world champion from Detroit — a fighter who has proudly carried the city’s rich boxing legacy all the way to a world title,” said Salita Promotions President德米特里Salita. “Now rejuvenated at middleweight, he’s on a mission to add another belt to his already remarkable career. Fans watching live on DAZN and at Little Caesars Arena will witness an action-packed undercard featuring some of the best talent in the world.
