From that point, we will return with a modified schedule through the remainder of the summer due largely to uncertainty of hurricane season and not wanting to have several unplanned pauses and resumptions in the schedule as has unfortunately been the case in recent years.

The final weekend of June 2025 in the sport of Boxing was highlighted by two events that for different reasons drew significant interest. First on June 27th, it was the return of former WBC World Heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder in Wichita, KS as he faced veteran Tyrell Hearndon in a fight scheduled for ten rounds.
