Top Rank & ESPN rolls into Newark, NJ, as their adopted son and WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson (21-0, 10 KOs) defends his title against Artem Harutyunyan (12-1, 7 KOs) live on ESPN. This will be Stevenson’s last fight on his current contract with Top Rank, so it’ll be interesting to see what happens afterward. Is this a trap fight for Stevenson? The oddsmakers are leaning towards a clear Stevenson win, but you never know in boxing.
Stevenson has some making up to do as November’s fight against Edwin De Los Santos is a night he would like to forget. Stevenson and De Los Santos combined for a record-breaking low number of punches landed in the fight. Now, Stevenson is on the verge of free agency, and he will have to perform well if he wants to impress his potential next landing spot if it isn’t Top Rank.

Harutyunyan’s last fight was against Frank Martin in July, where he lost a unanimous decision. Before the Martin fight, Harutyunyan fought exclusively in Germany, which made him somewhat of a mystery. Now that he got his U.S. debut against Martin out of the way, can he put it all together to beat a peaking Stevenson?
