Edgar Berlanga is among the few young boxing sensations who have taken the sport by storm. Over the past few years, the young gun, who has accrued tremendous attention, is only getting better with time. Moreover, many boxing pundits have already set an eye on how Berlanga is shaping up his boxing run. That said, he’s an undeniable fan favorite, who promises to go big in the future.

Recently, his promoter and the Top Rank boss, Bob Arum, spoke exclusively to Sky Sports. Here, he spilled the beans on ‘The Chosen One’s next fight and his plans ahead.

Arum said, “He will appear on [the Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder undercard on] October 9 then he will be in Madison Square Garden on December 11.”

“Then we will take him to Puerto Rico. He is a New Yorker of Puerto Rican origin.”

“He will fight in Puerto Rico where he is enormously popular.”

The 24-year-old is one of the most active fighters at present. Until now, he has taken 17 fights in total and has scored T/KO wins in a whopping 16 fights. Alongside this, he’s also retained his undefeated stint. Overall, the New York native has shown enough power, defense, and some exuberant fight skills to set himself apart from the rest.

However, like any other contender in the division, Berlanga, too, has an aspiration to fight for the ultimate title. He’s created enough buzz around himself and is truly ready to roar in some cosmic wars with bigwigs of the division.
