As expected, former world featherweight and super featherweight champion American Shakur Stevenson (19-0, 9 KOs) will make his debut in the lightweight category (up to 61.2 kg) against the unbeaten Japanese Shuichiro Yoshino (16-0, 12 KOs) , which will be the main event of the boxing evening in Newark (USA).
Boxers will challenge the title of official contender for the WBC world title.
Today Top Rank’s boxing night was officially announced.
“Starting my lightweight run on April 8th in Newark,” Shakur said just in case. – Shuichiro Yoshino is an undefeated fighter who wanted to go against me in the ring, while many other fighters were scared. We will fill the arena again and show the world who the future of boxing really is.”
Also in the main part of the show, 10-round bouts will be held by American prospects of the heavyweight and lightweight divisions, respectively, Jared Anderson (13-0, 13 KOs) and Kishon Davis (7-0, 5 KOs). With whom they will fight has not yet been reported, although earlier it was reported that Kishon would box against experienced African Emmanuel Tagoe.
The undercard is expected to feature Polish prospect Damian Knyba (10-0, 6 KOs), who recently signed with Top Rank.
