Shakur Stevenson put on a master class to beat William Zepeda and retain his WBC Lightweight Title, as you can follow what happened in the fight.

Despite successfully defending his belt twice against Artem Harutyunyan and Josh Padley, Stevenson faced criticism for his fighting style, with some calling it unentertaining. He had also been open about persistent hand problems, adding another challenge as he stepped into the ring with one of the division’s most dangerous punchers.

Zepeda boasted an impressive 31-0 record, with a staggering 27 knockouts. Zepeda recently defeated Tevin Farmer for the second time to solidify his mandatory challenger position. While he was undefeated, Stevenson presented the biggest challenge of his career. This is how the fight played out.
