Then, on Thursday, December 11, public on-sale is live from Noon EST.<\/p>\n\u201cMadison Square Garden boasts a storied boxing legacy, having hosted countless world title bouts,\u201d said Joel Fisher, Executive Vice President, Marquee Events and Operations, MSG Entertainment.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to welcoming Teofimo and Shakur, in collaboration with our partners SELA and Matchroom Boxing, for what promises to be another unforgettable championship night at The World\u2019s Most Famous Arena.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brooklyn\u2019s Lopez (21-1, 13 KOs) will be putting his WBO and The Ring Junior-Welterweight titles on the line when he takes on current WBC Lightweight World Champion Stevenson, stepping up to 140 for the first time.<\/p>\n
The thrilling matchup at the start of 2026 will serve as a fourth title defense for \u2018The Takeover\u2019 Teofimo as he looks to extend his six-fight winning streak following his most recent victory, a unanimous decision win over the previously undefeated Arnold Barboza Jr during The Ring\u2019s historic Fatal Fury Times Square card last May.<\/p>\n
For Shakur, who will also be fighting just a few miles from his hometown of Newark, New Jersey, this represents an opportunity to become a four-weight world champion. <\/p>\n
The southpaw\u2019s most recent fight came just two months after Teofimo\u2019s triumph, when he claimed a unanimous decision win against mandatory challenger William Zepeda to retain his WBC lightweight belt during July\u2019s stacked Ring III event at Louis Armstrong Stadium in New York.<\/p>\n
The pair will meet this Wednesday at the legendary Madison Square Garden \u2013 the fabled boxing venue which has hosted some of the most iconic fight nights in the history of the sport, including the 1971 \u2018Fight of the Century\u2019 between late Heavyweight greats Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier.<\/p>\n
