Shakur Stevenson vs. Artem Harutyunyan walkout songs: Tracks the boxers have used before

The highly anticipated clash between Shakur Stevenson and Artem Harutyunyan is scheduled for this Saturday at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. Stevenson is set to defend his WBC lightweight title against Harutyunyan in a 12-round contest.

'Killer Kur' is gearing up for his first title defense, marking his return to the squared circle since last November. In that fight, he claimed the vacant lightweight belt with a unanimous decision victory over Edwin De Los Santos. Although the match lacked significant action, it doesn't define Stevenson's career, as he remains a skilled champion ready to prove himself.

The 27-year-old New Jersey native is a distinguished former featherweight and junior lightweight champion. He also earned a silver medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics, representing the U.S. In October 2021, Stevenson captured the WBO junior lightweight title with a 10th-round TKO victory over Jamel Herring. He further cemented his legacy by securing the WBC belt with a unanimous decision win over Oscar Valdez in April 2022.

However, 'Killer Kur' was stripped of his titles after failing to make weight for a defense against Robson Conceicao in September 2022. Subsequently, he transitioned to the 135-pound division, where he marked his arrival with a sixth-round TKO victory over Shuichiro Yoshino in April 2023.

Meanwhile, this Saturday will mark Harutyunyan's first shot at a world title. 'The Original' is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Frank Martin last July. This fight not only marked his first professional defeat but also his debut bout outside of Germany.

Harutyunyan has triumphed in four of his last five bouts, with two victories coming by knockout and the others by decision. Prior to his fight against Martin, the 33-year-old Armenian-born German boxer defeated Humberto Galindo by unanimous decision. Before that, he secured an impressive fifth-round knockout win over Samuel Molina.

The fight card broadcast is scheduled to start at 9 PM ET / 6 PM PT on Saturday, July 6, in the United States. For viewers in the United Kingdom, this translates to a start time of 1 AM GMT on Sunday, July 7.

The main event ring walks are anticipated to begin around 11 PM ET / 8 PM PT in the U.S., which corresponds to 3 AM GMT in the U.K. However, these times may vary depending on the length of the undercard fights.

The boxers' entrances are a vital component of high-profile bouts, serving as a dramatic prelude that captivates the audience and sets the electrifying tone for the event. While the walkout songs for Stevenson and Harutyunyan remain under wraps, we can delve into the tracks they have chosen for their previous entrances.
