The first truly big fight night of 2026 is upon us.
Heated rivals Teofimo Lopez Jnr, 19-1 (13 KOs) and Shakur Stevenson, 24-0 (11 KOs) are set to collide atop Saturday’s DAZN Pay-Per-View event. Brooklyn’s Lopez risks his lineal, Ring and WBO 140lbs titles against Stevenson, who aims to become a four-division champion. Their scheduled 12-round clash takes place at the famed Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Also featured is another 140lbs clash, between former WBO lightweight titlist Keyshawn Davis and former title challenger Jamaine Ortiz. The lone other title fight on the card pits Bruce “Shu Shu” Carrington and Carlos Castro for the vacant WBC 126lbs strap.
