Still fresh from his knockout win against Felix Caraballo in June 2020, Shakur Stevenson will enter the ring on December 12 in Top Rank’s headlining bout. He is yet to receive an official opponent, but his return to action has been confirmed.
Bob Arum has verified the news and has sent fight fans into a frenzy. That said, we can expect some high voltage featherweight action by the end of this year. The featherweight unit is already stacked with several elites in their active roster and Shakur is one of them.

Boasting an undefeated professional record of 14 wins in just three years, he is a legitimate threat to the entire roster. However, he will also need to remain consistent with his dominance if he wants to reach the top. While Shakur Stevenson still has a long way to cover in the sport, his upcoming test is a month and a few days away.

Talking about his return, ‘Fearless’ said, “I’m excited. I haven’t fought since June, I’m just looking forward to getting back in the ring. I keep calling the big champions out, but nobody is really responding right now. So I’ll get back in the ring next month, then see what happens. I have no clue who I’m fighting or even who the options are, but I’m ready.”
