Shakur Stevenson secured the WBO featherweight title with a victory over Joet Gonzalez in 2019, and in 2021, he claimed the WBO super featherweight belt by defeating Jamel Herring. Now, Stevenson is vying for the third WBC title, a move prompted by Devin Haney's shift in weight class to face Regis Prograis for super lightweight gold.
Meanwhile, Edwin De Los Santos rebounded from a split decision loss to William Foster III in January 2022 with three consecutive victories. This bout marks De Los Santos' inaugural title fight, stepping up to the challenge after filling in for Frank Martin.
