2016 Olympic silver medalist Shakur Stevenson (16-0, 8 KOs) faces the biggest test of his pro career on Saturday when he takes on WBO super featherweight champion Jamel Herring (23-2, 11 KOs) at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta. Stevenson has already held the WBO belt at featherweight and is the interim champion, but as the belt was vacant when he took it Herring will be his first taste of real top ten opposition.
Herring won the belt against Masayuki Ito in 2019 and has defended it three times, most recently by knocking out and retiring former two-division champion Carl Frampton.
