"World Boxing Organization junior welterweight world champion Teofimo Lopez will put his belt on the line on Saturday against World Boxing Council lightweight king Shakur Stevenson. Both Lopez (22-1) and the undefeated Stevenson had no issue making weight for The Ring VI main event. However, the boxing card will go on with one less title fight than originally planned for the event."
"The WBC middleweight title fight between Carlos Adames and Austin Williams has been scratched from the card. This is due to champion Carlos Adames withdrawing due to illness. Williams is looking to stay on the card and wants to fight a last-minute replacement opponent. "The Takeover" enters the 12-round fight on a six-fight win streak. Ever since being upset by George Kambosos Jr., Lopez has gone back to his winning ways by winning decisions over the likes of Arnold Barboza Jr., Steve Claggett,"
Teofimo Lopez, WBO junior welterweight champion, weighed 139.6 pounds and will defend his belt against WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson, who weighed 138.6 pounds. The fight is scheduled for 12 rounds. Lopez enters on a six-fight win streak following a loss to George Kambosos Jr., with decision victories over Arnold Barboza Jr., Steve Claggett, and Josh Taylor. Stevenson is 24-0 as a pro and has held the WBC lightweight title since 2023, with recent wins over William Zepeda, Josh Pradley, and Artem Harutyunyan. The WBC middleweight title bout between Carlos Adames and Austin Williams was scratched after Adames withdrew with illness.
