SATURDAY: Nathan Heaney-Brad Pauls British Middleweight Title Rematch Headlines Magnificent Seven Card LIVE & Exclusively in the U.S. on ESPN+

PhilBoxing.com




Streaming action from Birmingham, England, begins at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT

(July 17, 2024) — After their first matchup ended in a draw, British middleweight champion Nathan Heaney and contender Brad Pauls will meet again this Saturday, July 20, in the 12-round main event from Resorts World Arena in Birmingham, England. Heaney and Pauls fought four months ago at the same venue in a highly pitched battle and look to break the deadlock.

Promoted by Queensberry Promotions, Heaney-Pauls II and additional undercard action will stream live and exclusively in the U.S. on ESPN+ starting at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT.

Heaney (18-0-1, 6 KOs), a six-year pro, notched his best win last November by capturing the British middleweight crown with a 12-round majority decision over former world title challenger Denzel Bentley. The 35-year-old is ranked No. 5 by the WBO and the WBA. Pauls (18-1-1, 10 KOs) entered the paid ranks in 2015 and went 16-0 before his first pro setback, a 10-round decision defeat to Tyler Denny in February 2023. He returned with a points verdict over Patryk Polasik last April and an eighth-round stoppage over Mitchell Frearson in September.
