WBO junior welterweight champion Teofimo Lopez Jr.<\/a> defends his title Saturday against Shakur Stevenson<\/a> at Madison Square Garden in New York.<\/p>\n

Lopez (22-1, 13 KOs) has won six straight fights since his upset loss to George Kambosos Jr.<\/a> in 2021. A former unified lightweight champion, he is making his fourth defense of the 140-pound belt he captured with a unanimous decision win over Josh Taylor<\/a> in June 2023. Lopez also owns notable victories over Vasiliy Lomachenko<\/a> in 2020 and Arnold Barboza Jr. last May<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Stevenson (24-0, 11 KOs) moves up in weight to challenge Lopez, marking his debut at junior welterweight. Already a world champion at featherweight, junior lightweight and lightweight, Stevenson is aiming to become a four-division titleholder. He’s coming off a dominant victory over William Zepeda<\/a> in July.<\/p>\n
