Shakur Stevenson and Edwin De Los Santos are set to face off in a boxing match for the vacant WBC Lightweight title in Las Vegas on November 16. This fight will be the main event of a Top Rank Boxing on ESPN card. This will take place two days before Formula 1’s inaugural race on the Las Vegas Strip. Stevenson, with a record of 20-0 and 10 knockouts, was initially scheduled to fight Frank Martin, an undefeated contender. However, Martin opted out of the bout after they sent over the contract.

Stevenson said:
“Edwin De Los Santos is a good fighter and he’s going to come to fight. I give him credit for actually taking this fight when so many other so-called ‘fighters’ ran from it. I’m the biggest boogeyman in boxing, and on November 16, the world will see why when I put on another great performance for the fans. Come out to T-Mobile Arena or tune in to ESPN and watch me become a three-division world champion.”
De Los Santos said:
“I want to thank Top Rank, the WBC, ESPN and my promoter, Sampson Lewkowicz, for this opportunity to put on a great fight and win my first world championship. I am a proud Dominican warrior who fights for my people! Shakira, I’m going to kick your ass.”
