Madison Square Garden has seen its share of legendary nights in boxing history. That trend will continue on Saturday in New York, where “The World’s Most Famous Arena” hosts the WBO super lightweight title clash between reigning champion Teofimo Lopez and undefeated challenger Shakur Stevenson. Stevenson (24-0, 11 KOs) hopes to claim a belt in his fourth weight class and usurp the explosive and eccentric Brooklyn, New York-born champion, but it will not be easy. At 140 pounds, Lopez (22-1, 13 KOs) will be the biggest, fastest and most skilled opponent the Newark, New Jersey-born former Olympic silver medalist has faced to date.
