A month after mixed martial arts dove back into the live sports pool, boxing dipped its toe.
Bob Arum’s Top Rank became the first promotional company to produce a significant domestic fight card in the United States on Tuesday night, returning to ESPN airwaves with a five-bout show featuring a non-title fight involving featherweight title claimant and former Olympian Shakur Stevenson.
The show was broadcast from the conference center at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, with no fans.
