Boxing fans will head to Birmingham next month as Frank Warren’s Magnificent 7 returns to the Resorts World Arena on Saturday July 20th. This action-packed night promises to be one of the most exciting events of the year, featuring some of the sport’s most talented fighters in highly anticipated matchups.
Nottingham born boxer Ezra Taylor (8-0), the Commonwealth Silver Light-Heavyweight Champion, will also be in action on the night, defending his title and looking to make a bigger impact in the division.
Speaking exclusively with international sports betting company BetVictor, Taylor notes that “I have been knocking on the door for big opportunities and The Magnificent 7 event is one of the biggest in domestic boxing. I know what I can do, I know what I’m capable of achieving in this sport and now is the time for me to make an impact. There are a lot of big fights out there for me and I’m ready for anybody Frank Warren puts in front of me.”
Undefeated Champions and Title Fights Take Center Stage
The main event features the undefeated Liam Davies defending his IBO World Super-Bantamweight Title against the equally undefeated Shabaz Masoud. This clash promises fireworks as both fighters aim to solidify their place in the division. A win for Davies could pave the way for a dream fight with pound-for-pound king Naoya Inoue.
Rematches, Redemption, and New Beginnings
The night also features a thrilling rematch between Nathan Heaney and Brad Pauls for the British Middleweight Title. Their previous encounter was a war, and this time around, Pauls will be looking to avenge his loss and dethrone the champion.
Heavyweight contender David Adeleye will challenge Sol Dacres for the English Heavyweight Title in a career-defining fight for Adeleye. After a tough defeat, he’s hungry for redemption and determined to dethrone the current champion.
Queensberry Debut and International Flavour
Undisputed super-lightweight champion Chantelle Cameron makes her Queensberry debut against France’s Elhem Mekhaled for the WBC Interim Super-Lightweight Title. A win here will position her for another shot at the undisputed crown.
Explosive Encounters and Rising Stars
Ashley Lane, the new British Bantamweight Champion, will defend his title against the hard-hitting Andrew Cain. This promises to be an explosive encounter with both fighters known for their knockout power.
Finally Owen Cooper takes on Nottingham based boxer in Ghanaian born Ekow Essuman for the English Welterweight Title. Both fighters are looking to make their mark in the division, with Cooper aiming to continue his ascent and Essuman seeking to reclaim his former glory.
