Remaining tickets for Aug. 15 are available on Ticketmaster.com.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom top to bottom, this is a stacked card featuring some of boxing\u2019s best prospects, top contenders, and world champions\u2014both men and women,\u201d said Dmitriy Salita, President of Salita Promotions. \u201cOur goal is to grow the sport by bringing world-class professional boxing to new audiences, and we\u2019re excited for Zeus subscribers to experience the passion, drama, and excitement that make boxing one of the greatest sports in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One of the things we&#8217;re most proud of is helping build moments that introduce the next generation of stars,&#8221; said Ruben Branson, CEO of Wynn Records. &#8220;This card does exactly that. Fans know what Claressa Shields represents, but they&#8217;re also going to see incredible young talent like Atif Oberlton, who continues to prove why he&#8217;s one of the brightest prospects in boxing. From top to bottom, this is a card built for both hardcore boxing fans and people experiencing the sport for the first time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Philadelphia\u2019s Oberlton (16-0, 14 KOs) has knocked out eight straight opponents in a streak dating to January of 2024 in which he has not been pushed past the sixth round. In his last fight, the 28-year-old southpaw stopped Carlos Gongora in a step-up fight on May 9 in Atlanta. Oberlton, who was a top amateur before turning professional, is currently ranked No. 5 by the WBA and No. 10 by the IBF at 175 pounds. The 6-foot-3 light heavyweight will face his toughest opponent to date in Angulo, who has faced some of boxing\u2019s best from 168 to 175 pounds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis time around, I\u2019m not in the mood for talking I\u2019m ready to break something up,\u201d Oberlton said. \u201cIt\u2019s not even about Angulo, he\u2019s just a body I have to step over. People are still overlooking me, still sleeping on me, but I\u2019m ready to wake them all up and make them regret ever doubting me. It\u2019s time to get it cracking on the enemy and get my general ranking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Angulo (29-4, 24 KOs), of Colombia, has been in the ring with top champions and contenders David Benavidez, Gilberto Ramirez, Edgar Berlanga and Umar Dzambekov, twice challenging for a major world title. His four defeats came against fighters who had a combined record of 89-0 when facing Angulo. In 2018, Angulo challenged and went the distance with then-undefeated Gilberto Ramirez for the WBO Super Middleweight Title. Two years later, he fought to a split decision win over previously undefeated Anthony Sims Jr, and then a few months later challenged reigning WBC Super Middleweight Champion David Benavidez, going to the 10th round after Benavidez missed weight by nearly three pounds. In 2022, Angulo went the distance with then-undefeated Edgar Berlanga, who later challenged Canelo Alvarez. And in 2025, he went the distance with top Russian contender Umar Dzambekov, who is now ranked in the top 15 by the WBC and WBA. Angulo\u2019s experience and durability should present a significant step-up for Oberlton in a matchup for the WBA Continental Americas belt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo every professional boxing fan out there, get ready &#8211; on Aug. 15, I\u2019m stepping into the ring against Atif,\u201d Angulo said. \u201cHe\u2019s a powerhouse fighter, undefeated, and bringing his absolute best from the U.S., which means fans are in for non-stop action, brutal exchanges, and an all-out war from the opening bell.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;m coming in at peak condition, ready to leave everything in the ring, and give the fans a night to remember.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Houston\u2019s Danielle Perkins (6-1, 3 KOs) will make her first defense of the Women\u2019s WBA Light Heavyweight World Title she won in February with a sixth round TKO over previously undefeated Chei Kenneally. Perkins, who has knockouts in half of her professional wins, has only suffered one defeat &#8211; a 2025 decision loss to GWOAT Claressa Shields for the undisputed heavyweight world championship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOlivia is a seasoned veteran with great experience and grit,\u201d Perkins said. \u201cShe\u2019ll be a challenge but we are ready. I can\u2019t wait to get in the ring and put on a show.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Olivia Curry (7-3-2, 2 KOs) has shown no hesitation in facing the best since turning professional in 2021. The Chicago resident fought Shadasia Green in 2023, losing a decision against a fighter who later became unified champion with a win over Savannah Marshall. Curry fought Kaye Scott twice in 2025, losing a close majority draw and decision for the WBC Middleweight World Championship. Curry looks to bounce back as she moves up to light heavyweight for her third consecutive world title fight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel extremely grateful to have the opportunity to fight for another world title in a new weight class under the Salita banner,\u201d Curry said. \u201cMy goal has always been to challenge myself and bring the most entertaining and action-packed fight I can, no matter the size of my opponent. I\u2019m excited to show the world what I\u2019ve been working on in preparation for Danielle Perkins.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Added Shannel Butler: \u201cIt feels great staying busy and active, but honestly, this next fight is just light work. I\u2019m grateful for another opportunity to showcase my improvements, but honestly, my opponent is just in the wrong place at the wrong time. I&#8217;m going to make her look like an amateur. I\u2019m enjoying the journey to the top, and it\u2019s been an honor training alongside and watching Claressa in her element. Fans can expect another completely dominant performance and my opponent can expect a painful reality check.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"360 Conversation With Singer &amp; Songwriter Russ Ballard: Music, 1960&#039;s, Miami Vice, Humanity &amp;
