Shakur Stevenson vs William Zepeda: Fight Guide
Shakur Stevenson attempts a third defence of his WBC lightweight title in his toughest test at 135lbs, taking on Mexican swarmer William Zepeda at the Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York. Whilst Stevenson is often criticised for his back-footed, low-output style, Zepeda’s style is the polar opposite and could prove to be a difficult obstacle to overcome.
