Stevenson in search of a new opponent for June 9

Top Rank planned its first tournament after the coronavirus break on June 9th. The stable, run by Bob Arum, is about to organize three boxing nights in one week. Events will be held in Las Vegas without the participation of spectators.

WBO featherweight champion Shakur Stevenson (13-0, 7 KOs) will perform in the main event of the first evening. Rafael Rivera was about to become an opponent of the American. Unfortunately, the Mexican had problems with the visa, and he will not be able to perform with the current champion of the World Boxing Organization.

At the moment, Top Rank is looking for another opponent for Stevenson. It is possible that the fight will take place in a higher weight category. It has already been decided that a fighter from the United States will not defend his title in this bout.

Within the same evening, Robeisy Ramirez (2-1, 2 KOs) will return to the ring. Two-time Olympic champion made his debut in the professional ring in August.
