🥊 Boxing fans, take note! Tonight, two American boxing giants, Shakur Stevenson and Teofimo Lopez, are ready to face off at the iconic Madison Square Garden. 🌟
Lopez, an elite fighter with titles in two weight divisions, has been on an impressive winning streak since moving up to 140lbs. Known for his powerful knockout against Richard Commey in 2019 and a stunning victory over Vasiliy Lomachenko, Lopez is aiming to extend his six-fight winning run tonight. His unexpected loss to George Kambosos Jr. is just a speed bump on the road to hopefully regaining dominance in the ring.
On the opposite corner, Shakur Stevenson brings a fresh dynamic to the spotlight. The 2016 Olympic silver medallist quickly snagged a world champion title just three years later. With belts at featherweight, super-featherweight, and lightweight, he’s eager to show off his talent after his last victories over Josh Padley and William Zepeda.
⏰ Wondering when the action starts? The main event is expected to begin around 11 PM GMT. Stevenson’s entrance is set for about 3:50 AM GMT on Sunday, with Lopez hot on his heels. Keep in mind, things can kick off a bit earlier if preliminaries wrap up ahead of schedule.

Lopez had some fighting words, stating: “I’m the champion. Stevenson has to take it from me, and that’s no easy task.” Meanwhile, Stevenson counters: “Lopez might be underestimating me, but I’m ready to prove him wrong.”
