Two American stars finally getting it on

In a bout that has been mooted for several years, Teofimo Lopez and Shakur Stevenson headline the show in a fantastic contest between two of American boxing’s biggest stars.

Lopez (22-1, 13 KOs) holds the WBO strap he won with a unanimous decision victory over Josh Taylor in 2023 and has successfully defended it three times, including with a points victory over Arnold Barboza Jr. last time out.

In his first fight at 140lbs, Stevenson (24-0, 11 KOs)  is bidding to become a 4-weight world champion having already picked up belts at featherweight, super featherweight and lightweight.

Credit to both men for taking the fight instead of navigating a less risky path and this is the kind of fight US boxing needs right now.

The winner will climb to even greater heights and that could be either man, which is exactly what the fans want to see in big main events.

The return of Keyshawn Davis

There will be plenty of eyeballs on Keyshawn Davis as the rising star makes his super lightweight debut against Jamaine Ortiz .

Davis (13-0, 9 KOs) has not fought since an impressive 4th-round stoppage of Denys Berinchyk last February and he moves up after badly missing weight for his WBO lightweight title defence against Edwin De Los Santos in June, which meant the fight was called off.

Big things are expected of the Virginia native in his new division given the mark he was making at 135lbs, prior to his weight-making troubles.

Ready to welcome him to 140lbs is Ortiz (20-2-1, 10 KOs), who has only lost to elite fighters in Vasyl Lomachenko and Teofimo Lopez – both by decision - and he arrives on the back of three straight victories.

Bruce Carrington ready to step out of the shadows

Bidding to follow in the footsteps of the fellow American headliners, Bruce Carrington is aiming to win his first world title when he takes on Carlos Castro for the vacant WBC featherweight belt.

Cris Esqueda Matchroom Boxing

The 28-year-old from Brooklyn gets this big chance on his doorstep following a dominant decision victory over Mateus Heita in the smaller room at this venue in July.

Castro (30-3, 14 KOs) dropped a tight decision to Stephen Fulton when last seen in September 2024, but Carrington (26-0, 9 KOs) could be one of the next big stars in America and this could well be his coming out parade.

Fireworks expected between the heavyweights

Jarrell Miller and Kingsley Ibeh know only one way to fight - go for the knockout.

And that is what they will both be doing when they face off in a tasty crossroads bout between two hard-hitting big men . Even better, this is one of two fights fans can watch for free on Saturday night live on DAZN. Click here to watch for free .

Miller (26-1-2, 22 KOs) has won’t since stopping Lucas Browne in March 2023, but he emerged with plenty of credit from his last-round defeat to Daniel Dubois and his majority draw with former champion Andy Ruiz last summer.

Ibeh (16-2-1, 14 KOs) has won all eleven outings since his sole defeat to Jarred Anderson nearly five years ago and ten of those victories came by knockout.

These two won’t be hanging around and it could get very lively, very quickly.
