The Magnificent Seven are set to return to Birmingham on July 20

Frank Warren’s Queensberry have announced their latest fight cards The Magnificent Seven, which has hosted some of the best matches in the UK, especially post-pandemic.

Most notably, BBBofC British Middleweight Champion Nathan “The Hitman” Heaney (18-0-1) will rematch his exciting March match with “The Newquay Bomb” Brad Pauls (18-1-1). Last time out, the Stoke-on-Trent champion, who had previously upset Denzel Bentley (19-3-1), battled Pauls to the end with the match proving extremely difficult to score.

Many would favor Pauls for his superior shot selection, although Heaney would face it round after round. This rematch is sure to be heated, with both warriors looking to settle the score without letting it go on the scoreboards.

IBO World Super Bantamweight Champion Liam Davies (16-0) would claim his honors last time out in a match against the “Terrible” and tough Mexican Erik Robles Ayala (15-2). This time the Telford lad will be up against ‘Maverick’ Shabaz Masoud (12-0), who currently holds the WBA Inter-Continental Super Bantamweight honours.

This will be thoroughly entertaining as the two undefeated super kids look to make a statement as they put it all on the line.

New Queensberry signing Chantelle Cameron (18-1) will make her debut for the promotion as she takes on Elhem Mekhaled (16-2) as she looks to land the vacant WBO Interim World Super Lightweight title.

Failing to secure a third fight with Katie Taylor (23-1), she will be looking to earn her shot the hard way; securing the Interim and preparing for the trilogy. The “diamond”, however, will have other plans.

The French fighter will be looking for a chance at redemption after losing her shot at world honors against Alycia Baumgardner (15-1).

Also looking for a chance at redemption is former WBO European heavyweight titleholder David Adeleye (12-1), who will look to follow Fabio Wardley (17-0-1) by winning the English heavyweight title BBBofC, owned by ‘The Real Deal’ Solomon Dacres (8-0), who is coming off a disappointing upset of a win over Michael Webster (10-1).

This is shaping up to be a terrific battle, with Adeleye looking to bounce back from a late layoff and Dacres looking to prove his worth and strength after some shaky defending last time out.

Ekow “The Engine” Essuman (19-1) bounces back from a loss to Derby’s Harry Scarff (13-3). The sole holder of the BBBofC British, Commonwealth Boxing Council, IBF European and WBC International Silver Welterweight titles will be looking to calibrate with a win over Worcester native Owen Cooper (10-0).

Cooper, the current BBBofC English and WBO European welterweight titlist is a pretty excellent fighter who has followed the traditional path, winning prestigious titles in the process. A win over a name as established as Essuman would further his progress.

Underdog Ashley Lane (18-10-2) is coming off an impressive win over Chris Bourke (13-2) at York Hall in March. Joining the ranks of the Magnificent Seven, he puts the BBBofC British and Commonwealth Boxing Council bantamweight titles on the line against Andrew Cain (11-1).

Cain, younger than “Flash” and with some degree experience in his short career, will be a major threat to the old man of the British bantamweight scene.

Also of note, Ezra “The Cannon” Taylor (8-0) is looking to make moves in the promising British Light Heavyweight division as the Commonwealth Silver Light Heavyweight title appears to be in the sights for the young Nottingham resident.

With fights ranging from English level to interim world titles, Birmingham will be awash with barn-burners and bangers galore on July 20.
