Two of boxing’s hottest properties will do battle this weekend at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, with Oscar Valdez facing off against Shakur Stevenson for the WBO and WBC super-featherweight titles. But someone’s perfect record has to go, with both fighters undefeated during their professional careers.
Stevenson won the WBO featherweight title in 2019 against Joet Gonzalez. The 24-year-old then made the move to super-featherweight, winning the interim WBO super-featherweight title in June 2021 against Jeremiah Nakathila. But, the American is set for the toughest test of his career against Valdez, but his opponent has been subject to criticism following his performance against Robson Conceicao, with a number of fight fans disagreeing with the result of the fight.
However, the Mexican will be looking to silence those critics when he steps in the ring this weekend, hoping to walk away with two belts around his waist. Here is everything you need to know ahead of the fight:
