While a replacement opponent is yet to be confirmed, there are two candidates in England's Josh Padley and Spain's Moussa Gholam who could fight at short notice.
This is not the first time Stevenson's Riyadh Season has been affected by injuries or illness.
Stevenson was set to face former IBF super featherweight champion Joe Cordina last October, but hand surgery a month before meant the American was unable to step into the ring.
While Stevenson awaits a new opponent, there is still plenty for fight fans to get excited about on February 22 with the IBF heavyweight title fight between Daniel Dubois and Joseph Parker one of the highlights on what is one of the greatest fight cards ever put together.
