Saturday night on a Premier Boxing Champions card on ESPN, Jamel Herring headlines against Denis Shafikov, as the former U.S. Olympian takes a big step up in class. It’s also an appropriate weekend for Herring to be in action.
Before he fought for the US Olympic boxing team, he was a member of the United States Marine Corps. So the Marines vet gets to headline a big July 4th fight card, and deliver his own rendition of fireworks. Check out the full weights and bout sheet for the card here.
