The versatile jackets can be paired with anything from your favourite denim jeans to a skirt and boots, making them a new season staple. This M&S Suedette Lightweight Jacket for £59 has been raved about online, with numerous videos on social media from fashionistas claiming they will be wearing it all Autumn long in a series of TikTok's as it's the "perfect causual jacket".

Great price, lovely colour and fit… I'm a high street size 14 and 5ft 4inches tall. Highly recommended. Perfect casual jacket for spring/summer." A third pens: "Really liked this jacket when I spotted it in store. I loved the colour and style. Tried it on and found that it didn't quite hang right, ordered a smaller size which I have kept but not worn yet. There was not much difference between the sizes but the smaller size sat better. Fingers crossed it's not too small."

Edgar Berlanga, Shakur Stevenson represent boxing's polar opposites on top of intriguing NYC card
Two differing perspectives say so much about the current state of boxing. There is Edgar Berlanga (23-1, 18 KOs), who told The Post: 'I've just learned throughout the years, in order to be a big megastar in boxing, you can have all the medals you want, all the world titles you want, three-time undisputed, two-time undisputed, undisputed world champion, but if you can't catch the people's attention, you're nothing in the sport. 'Right now, I don't have a world title and I make five times more than guys that got world titles, multiple world titles. That goes to show that you don't really need a world title. You don't need a title to certify your name in the sport of boxing. Advertisement 6 Edgar Berlanga leaves his corner to fight Steve Rolls during their super middleweight bout in the Hulu Theatre at Madison Garden on March 19, 2022 in New York. Getty Images 'In this day and age, as long as you can fight, you're entertaining the crowd, you're not a runner, you go in there to fight and you're looking for knockouts and you're looking to be sharp and talk crap, you talk the talk and you can walk the walk, that's the most important thing. I'm the only guy on this card that's really bringing that entertainment to the sport. And that's what it needs, it needs that.' Then there's Shakur Stevenson: Advertisement 'I'm not talking bad and I'm not saying slurs with my speeches,' he told The Post. 'Honestly, none of that s–t matters, at the end of the day. How everybody feels, they can feel, they're entitled to their opinion. It don't really matter what anybody else thinks.' Both are on the highly anticipated card Saturday night at Louis Armstrong Stadium at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, site of the U.S. Open — the first bout that will be fought at the venue. 6 Shakur Stevenson of the US in action against Oscar Valdez of Mexico during their WBO/WBC/Ring Magazine Junior Lightweight title fight on April 30, 2022 at the Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. EPA Both are 28 years old. Both grew up locally — Berlanga in New York City and Stevenson in Newark. But they represent polar opposites. Advertisement Berlanga is flashy, cocky, braggadocious and style over substance. He has a fan-friendly, exciting approach inside the ring, relentlessly looking for knockouts with big punches. 6 Edgar Berlanga celebrates his first round Technical Knockout against Cesar Nunez during their super middleweight bout at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 14, 2019 in New York City. Getty Images He began his career with 16 first-round knockouts and 18 of his 23 wins have been by stoppage. Advertisement His stardom is ahead of his accolades, which helped him land a lucrative bout against Canelo Alvarez last September. Stevenson (23-0, 11 KOs), on the other hand, is much less of a trash-talker and more substance over style. 6 Shakur Stevenson (right) punches Germany's Artem Harutyunyan during the ninth round of a WBC world lightweight championship boxing match on July 7, 2024, in Newark, N.J. AP He's a three-division world champion and has dominated every pro bout he's fought. But his approach is much less appealing to casual fans — he knocks out very few opponents and is one of the best defensive and most elusive fighters in the sport. That results in much less action and output, so much so that Turki Al-Sheikh — whose Riyadh Season promotional company is putting on the card — has trolled Stevenson, saying he produces 'Tom and Jerry' type fights. Stevenson's stardom lags his accomplishments, and he's yet to have a signature bout against a superstar. 6 Shakur Stevenson celebrates after defeating Felix Caraballo (not pictured) by TKO in the sixth round of their super featherweight bout at MGM Grand Conference Center Grand Ballroom on June 9, 2020 in Las Vegas. Top Rank via Getty Images Advertisement Stevenson is the one defending a title — his WBC lightweight belt — against William Zepeda. But it is Berlanga — whose super middleweight bout against Hamzah Sheeraz has no titles at stake — who is the main event, while Stevenson is the co-main event. In the modern boxing landscape, attention is often more lucrative than accomplishments. 'Boxing is real big in the city,' Berlanga said. 'Just not for any boxers, because there's a lot of boxers that are represented in New York right now. They're not making an effect like that because they're not delivering what people want, and that's knockouts. They don't deliver what people want, and that's entertainment. I have the whole package. Advertisement 6 New York boxer Edgar Berlanga posing for a photo during a training session at Competitive Edge Athletics in Port Washington. Charles Wenzelberg/New York Post 'When you bring that excitement, when you bring the swag and the look and you come from New York and you entertain the fans and you talk crap to the other opponent and you talk crap to promoters, you be flamboyant, you talk the talk and you walk the walk, that's when you're drawing a big crowd of people. That's what the people love in New York. 'You saw when the Knicks were playing? We're cocky. We're super cocky, and when we win, we're even more cocky. It's just in us. That's just us, that's our energy.' Saturday will represent a unique atmosphere — outdoors at a tennis stadium. Advertisement For his part, Stevenson is promising more excitement. 'I know this is the first time anyone has ever fought at this stadium,' Stevenson said. 'I will be the first person and I will be leaving my name on it. … I think this fight kind of takes me to another level. I'm fighting at a stadium nobody has ever fought at. 'I just know this is the fight that's gonna do it. William Zepeda is gonna bring out another side to me that the fans haven't gotten a chance to see yet.'

Andy Cruz Faces Hironori Mishiro In IBF Lightweight Final Eliminator
Andy Cruz Faces Hironori Mishiro In IBF Lightweight Final Eliminator originally appeared on Athlon Sports. By Peter Raburu Andy Cruz (5-0, 2 KOs) will face Hironori Mishiro (17-1-16 KOs) in a final IBF Lightweight eliminator this Saturday, June 14th, at 7:00 pm. Advertisement This match will determine Raymond Muratalla's next opponent, who is currently a 135-pound champion. Cruz previously defeated Omar Sacido Gamezz in his prior fight. The fight results are believed to suit the champion, Andy Cruz, forcing Muratalla (23-0, 17 KOs) to prepare even harder before potentially fighting Cruz. This comes after Murattalla defeated Zaur Abdullaev for the IBF interim title on May 10th. Raymond's battles are fairly predictable, and he has been criticized for being one-dimensional, only fighting in one gear, and lacking a killer instinct. Cruz has proven to be a nightmare for opponents in the 135-pound category. This comes after top Rank fighter Keyshawn Davis made it obvious that he did not want to fight Cruz after being battered with whips four times in their amateur battles. Keyshawn made various dubious justifications, and now he's set to face the nightmare again. Will he make excuses again or face the nightmare? Advertisement Mishiro, on the other hand, remains in fifth place in the IBF rankings, and this fight is an opportunity for the former Japanese Lightweight Champion to make his American debut in the biggest fight of his career. He is confident and optimistic about landing the title shot for himself. 'I've put in the hard work and dedication, and I can't wait to step into the ring again,' said Cruz. 'This fight isn't just about winning; it's about showing my people the passion I have for the sport. I'm ready to prove that I'm a contender and bring that W home!' said Mishiro in a YouTube interview. 'I want to thank Matchroom for allowing me to fight in the US,' said Mishiro. 'I'm excited and motivated for such a great opportunity. I have fought as the underdog many times, and I look forward to making another big upset on June 14,' said Mishiro in a YouTube interview. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 13, 2025, where it first appeared.
