Shakur Stevenson looks for a homecoming to remember when he defends the WBC lightweight title against Artem Harutyunyan in New Jersey.
Stevenson is a three-division champion, holding featherweight, super featherweight, and lightweight gold. The 2016 Olympic silver medalist beat Oscar Valdez for the WBC and Ring super featherweight titles but got later stripped of the titles for failing to make weight against Robson Conceicao. He beat Edwin De Los Santos for the vacant WBC lightweight title.
Harutyunyan won bronze in the 2016 Olympics. "The Original" is coming off a loss last July against former title contender Frank Martin. The 33-year-old has seven wins via knockout.
The co-main event will see O'Shaquie Foster defending the WBC super featherweight title against Robson Conceicao. Foster won the WBC title in February 2023. He successfully defended the belt in The Sporting News' 2023 Fight of the Year against Eduardo Hernandez. Conceicao is 1-2-1 in his last four fights, one of those losses being against Stevenson.
