Shakur Stevenson prepares for a title defense against Zepeda while eyeing a future clash with Teofimo Lopez.

Shakur Stevenson, the 28-year-old WBC world lightweight champion, is gearing up for a highly anticipated title defense against Mexico`s William Zepeda on Saturday, July 12, at the iconic Louis Armstrong Stadium in New York City. This clash promises to be a thrilling encounter as Stevenson, who has already claimed world titles in three weight classes, looks to extend his impressive record of 23 fights without a loss.

In a recent interview with Fight Hub TV, Stevenson expressed his ambitions beyond the lightweight division, revealing a keen interest in challenging WBO super-lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez. “I’m a little guy so I’m chilling at 135 but I would love to fight Teo. I think Teo talks a lot of s–t and he thinks he’s that good so I would love to get in the ring with Teo,” Stevenson stated, showcasing his competitive spirit and readiness to take on the best.

Lopez, who successfully defended his title against Arnold Barboza Jr. on May 2, has yet to confirm his next fight, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the potential showdown. Meanwhile, negotiations for a bout with Devin Haney fell through last month, adding to the intrigue surrounding Lopez`s future. For more on boxing news, check out boxing and boxing news.
