  • Shakur Stevenson holds a record of 21 wins, with 10 TKO/KOs and no losses.
  • Stevenson is a former Olympic silver medalist.
  • Stevenson's next opponent is Artem Harutyunyan for the WBC World Lightweight world title.

Shakur Stevenson is fresh off a unanimous decision victory against Edwin De Los Santos in November during the main event boxing card inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas to become a three-division world champion. It was Stevenson’s 21st career victory in the professional ranks after winning the silver medal in the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. Because of this unbeaten and impressive run, the 25-year-old is slowly becoming a household name in boxing odds.

That win over De Los Santos was Stevenson’s second in the lightweight division. Who’s the next title opponent for the American champion? And who’s the worthy challenger for his belt?

When Is Shakur Stevenson’s Next Fight?
