The WBC lightweight championship will be on the line on Saturday, as  Shakur Stevenson  defends his  crown against unbeaten  William Zepeda as part of a blockbuster New York City fight card,  live on DAZN pay-per-view. Stevenson, who hales from across the Hudson River in Newark, New Jersey, will head to the Big Apple looking to keep his strap against the Mexican, himself fresh off a pair of wins over ex-title holder Tevin Farmer. Zepeda has earned interim credentials to challenge for this honor, and will be a tricky foe - but it will still be the home favorite who has the crowd at his back in New York. 

 

Another local favorite, Edgar Berlanga, takes on Great Britain's  Hamzah Sheeraz  to follow Stevenson-Zepeda. 

 

The night begins on DAZN at 6pm ET / 3pm PT. Here is thge line-up:

 

Edgar Berlanga vs. Hamzah Sheeraz (super middleweights);

Shakur Stevenson vs. William Zepeda (WBC lightweight title);

Alberto Puello vs. Subriel Matias (WBC junior welterweight title); and

David Morrell vs. Imam Khataev (light heavyweights).
