How to Watch Shakur Stevenson vs Teofimo Lopez for Free on DAZN
Two of America's most prominent boxing stars are set to collide in a highly anticipated showdown later this evening, as Shakur Stevenson faces Teofimo Lopez in a bout that promises fireworks. This clash between a three-weight world champion and a two-division titleholder represents one of the most significant matchups in the sport this year.
Fighter Backgrounds and Form
Teofimo Lopez has established himself as a formidable force in the boxing world, particularly since moving up to the 140lb division. The 28-year-old first captured attention with a devastating knockout victory over Richard Commey in 2019 to claim the lightweight title, followed by a stunning win against Vasiliy Lomachenko. Despite a surprising defeat to George Kambosos Jr that prompted his weight class change, Lopez has excelled at super-lightweight, entering this contest unbeaten in his last six fights and fresh from a victory over Arnold Barboza Jr.
Shakur Stevenson, the 2016 Olympic silver medalist, has been a breath of fresh air in boxing since turning professional. He claimed his first world title just three years after his Olympic success, outpointing Joet Gonzalez to secure the vacant WBO featherweight belt. Stevenson has since become a champion across three weight divisions – featherweight, super-featherweight, and lightweight – though some fans have called for more consistency in his performances. His recent victories over Josh Padley and William Zepeda demonstrated his exceptional skills, setting the stage for this crucial encounter.

Fighter Quotes and Mind Games
Teofimo Lopez has been characteristically confident in the build-up, stating: “I’m the champion. Stevenson is trying to come in and take what I have. It ain’t happening. His people are telling him to play it safe because they know what he’s up against. But in fights like this, with so much on the line, you gotta take risks. You gotta be a dog to take it from a champion. And I’m the dog in this fight, a true champion. Always have been.”
Shakur Stevenson responded with his own psychological assessment: “I think he’s nervous, and he’s giving off energy as if he’s trying to delude his brain into believing things that are basically not gonna happen. I just don’t know how he can delude his brain into believing that, when he didn’t make Steve Claggett — that’s his name, Steve Claggett — quit? He didn’t make him quit. He didn’t make George Kambosos quit. He did not make [Vasiliy] Lomachenko quit. So what in the world makes him think that he’s gonna make me quit?”
This compelling verbal exchange adds another layer of intrigue to what promises to be a technically brilliant and strategically fascinating contest between two of boxing's brightest talents.
