Shakur Stevenson, Edwin De Los Santos make weight for lightweight title fight

Shakur Stevenson and Edwin De Los Santos cleared the final hurdle on Wednesday before entering the ring for their vacant WBC lightweight title fight.

Stevenson (20-0, 10 KOs) of Newark, N.J. checked in at 133.8 pounds for his 12-round main event fight against Edwin De Los Santos (16-1, 14 KOs) of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, who weighed in at 134.3 pounds. The WBC lightweight title will be at stake in their fight at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas after Devin Haney was named champion “in recess” as he moved up to 140 pounds to challenge Regis Prograis for his WBC junior welterweight title.

Stevenson, 26, is looking to become a world titleholder in a third weight class after collecting belts at 126 and 130 pounds, while De Los Santos, 24, is challenging for his first world title.

The fight will be shown live on ESPN in the United States, with the broadcast to begin at 10:30 p.m. The undercard will be shown live on ESPN+, beginning at 5:40 p.m. ET.
