Undefeated hard-hitting middleweight Edgar Berlanga (20-0, 16 KOs) returns to the ring this Saturday, June 24 to face-off against Jason Quigley (20-2, 14 KOs) at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Berlanga makes his first fight appearance since June 2022. Berlanga won a controversial unanimous decision over Roamer Alexis Angulo in which he attempted to bite his opponent.

Now, he gets a hometown return as the Brooklyn product will defend the WBA NABO super middleweight title for a third time.
Quigley represents Ireland and gets another title opportunity after losing to Demetrius Andrade back in November 2021 for the WBO middleweight belt. He bounced back with an unanimous decision win over Gabor Gorbics in April. Quigley has been a professional for nine years and his signature win, a majority decision victory over Shane Mosley Jr. back in May 2021.
