Valdez vs Stevenson Preview
The WBO, WBC and The Ring Super Featherweight titles will take place on Saturday night when Shakur Stevenson (17-0, 9 KO) will face Oscar Valdez (30-0, 23 KO) in a unification match at the MGM Grand. in Las Vegas.
The 130-pound champions are both undefeated in Saturday’s fight, with Stevenson holding the WBO title and Valdez holding the WBC belt.
Stevenson, a native of Newark, New Jersey, turned professional in 2017 after an amateur career that was highlighted by a silver medal-winning performance at the 2016 Rio Olympics. The 24-year-old southpaw, who has been compared to a young Floyd Mayweather, is known for his speed and accuracy of combinations, as well as boasting a high level of confidence that has been leading the way in battles with Valdez. ,
“I’m the best 130lbs fighter in the world, and I’ll prove it when I beat Oscar Valdez to become unified champion,” Stevenson said. “However, I will not stop there. I want to be the undisputed champion at 130 years old, and beating Oscar Valdez is the next step. The world has not yet seen everything that Shakur Stevenson can do in the boxing ring. I I am the next superstar of boxing and my performance on 30th April is going to prove it.
Stevenson won the interim WBO Super Featherweight title in June of 2021 when he defeated Jeremiah Nakatilla and then won the belt in October by TKO defeating WBO Champion Jemel Herring.
Valdez is from Nogales, Mexico, and made his professional debut in 2012. The 31-year-old was the WBO featherweight champion before moving to the 130-pound super featherweight division, where he won in 2021 by defeating WBC champion Miguel Berchelt. belt.
In his last match, Valdez successfully defended his title in September with a close decision victory over Robson Conceicao. Like Stevenson, the undefeated Mexican champion comes into Saturday’s competition with confidence.
“Let’s go again. The odds are against me, and everyone thinks he’ll run over me, but just like Berchelt, I’ll use that as inspiration,” said Valdez. “I know that in front of me. An uphill battle, but it’s not something I haven’t done before. I have worked very hard in the gym and as always I am going to give it my best and leave it all in the ring. As we say in Mexico, I’m willing to die on the line just to win. That’s all that matters to me.”
The prelims are scheduled to begin on Saturday at 6:30 pm and the main card is expected to start around 10 pm. Stevenson and Valdez will enter the ring sometime around midnight ET.
