Also at this event there will be a fight between O’Shaka Foster and Robson Conceicao for the WBC super featherweight belt.
WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson will officially defend his title with Artem Harutyunyan from Germany on July 6. The fight will take place at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
The second important event of the boxing evening will be the fight O’Shakey Foster against the Brazilian Robson Conceicao. Foster will defend the WBC super featherweight belt. The undercard of the event includes a 10-round lightweight fight between Keyshawn Davis And Miguel Madueño.
Shakur last defeated Edwin De Los Santos in November 2023. The fight lasted 12 rounds, following which all the judges gave the victory to Stevenson. However, many fans were unhappy with the spectacle of the fight and the passivity of both boxers, who landed a record low 40 punches between them.
Promoter Bob Arum later announced that Stevenson had retired from his professional career due to a failed fight with WBO super featherweight champion Emanuel Navarrete. Despite the above, later the same Arum announced a possible fight between Stevenson and the Ukrainian Vasily Lomachenko.
Harutyunyan, 33, suffered his only loss to Frank Martin in July 2023. Previously, the German of Armenian origin defeated Ukrainian Vladislav Melnik in April 2021 in a fight for the WBA International lightweight title.
