WEB Shakur Stevenson Stripped of Titles Due to Missing Weight
Conceicao to Face Unbeaten Harutyunyan for Vacant Titles
Stevenson Set for Hometown Title Defense
Former world champion WEB Ash-Shakur Nafi-Shahid Stevenson, born June 28, 1997, has been stripped of his titles after failing to make weight for his scheduled fight against Robeisy Ramirez. The three weight classes titles were put on the line for Conceicao, who only had one point deducted in the 9th round for a low blow.
Stevenson, a native of Newark, New Jersey, is a former world champion in two weight classes, having held the WBO featherweight title and the WBO junior lightweight title. He is known for his exceptional speed, agility, and counterpunching abilities.
In his upcoming fight on Saturday night, Stevenson will be defending his WBC lightweight championship against Artem Harutyunyan in his home state of New Jersey. Harutyunyan is an unbeaten Armenian boxer who has won all of his 16 professional fights.
American boxer Shakur Stevenson defeated Edwin De Los Santos to claim the WBC lightweight title in Las Vegas, becoming a three-division world champion. The victory adds to his impressive resume, which includes previous championship victories in the featherweight and junior lightweight divisions.
