Teofimo Lopez vs Shakur Stevenson: Preview, Start Time, Undercard

A victory for Stevenson would make him a four-division world champion at the age of 28. A win over William Zepeda in July 2025 would be Stevenson's third WBC World Lightweight title defense, as he now ascends to the 140-pound division.

Stevenson officially weighed in at 138.6 lbs for his divisional debut. As for Lopez, he came in at 139.6 pounds as he is aiming to defend his title.

Despite Lopez entering the fight as the reigning champion, bookmakers are currently seeing 'The Takeover' as a significant underdog ahead of the bout between the two stars.

Stevenson's close friend Keyshawn Davis (13-0, 9 KOs) is also featured on the card as he makes his debut in the super lightweight division, having previously been champion at the 135-pound weight class. He takes on former Lopez opponent Jamaine Ortiz in a 12-round bout.

The event was originally scheduled to feature a WBC world middleweight title bout between Carlos Adames and Austin Williams. However, the champion Adames has now withdrawn from the bout due to illness.
