On the 16th of November, Shakur Stevenson would return to the ring and compete for the vacant WBC Lightweight title against Edwin De Los Santos. In his last fight, the 26-year-old fought Shuichiro Yoshino in April this year. Having completely overpowered Yoshino, the former unified Featherweight champion of the world won the bout via TKO in the 6th round.

Given the fact that Stevenson has fought the likes of Oscar Valdez and Jamel Herring and is undefeated with twenty victories, the southpaw boxer is considered one of the current faces of the sport. Likewise, fans are extremely eager to see his return against Los Santos on the 16th of November. While there is still a lot left for Shakur to deliver, ahead of his upcoming bout, the 26-year-old revealed young boxers who, in his opinion, will gradually take over the sport.
