WBC lightweight world champion Shakur Stevenson puts his perfect 23-0 record on the line against William Zepeda, who's also undefeated at 33-0. The clash of styles between these two southpaws promises to be something special.

Stevenson brings surgical precision to the ring. Zepeda counters with overwhelming volume - he threw almost a thousand punches in his last title defense.

Zepeda told Mexico the pugilist: "The fans are going to see what kind of boxer I am. I have worked very hard to be able to reach my maximum level."

Stevenson's not fazed. When he fought Josh Warrington in England back in March, he said: "I'm ready for anything. I know what I have, who I am and where I want to be."

The atmosphere in Louis Armstrong Stadium will be electric. With two undefeated fighters putting it all on the line, fans can expect a night of high-energy boxing that'll keep them on the edge of their seats.
