The World Boxing Council (WBC) lightweight title belt is on the line tonight with undefeated champion Shakur Stevenson taking on challenger Artem Harutyunyan in a 12-round bout from Newark, New Jersey.
Stevenson (21-0-0, 10 KOs) enters the bout nearly a year removed from winning the vacant WBC world lightweight title over Edwin De Los Santos on Nov. 16, 2023. He’s continued his undefeated run to start his career despite moving up to the stacked lightweight class last year. His last fight in the super featherweight class was a unanimous decision win over Robson Conceicao but Stevenson was stripped of his WBC and World Boxing Organization (WBO) titles for missing weight.

Harutyunyan (12-1-0, 7 KOs) is a rising challenger in the lightweight class. The Armenian-born German fighter made his debut in November 2017 and racked up five knockout wins in his first six bouts. He won the vacant WBC International Lightweight title on Sept. 25, 2021 but lost it by unanimous decision in his most recent bout against Frank Martin last July.
Will Stevenson keep his title or will Harutyunyan take it from him? Here’s what you need to know about tonight’s bout:
