STEVENSON VS. DE LOS SANTOS – ESPN – NOV. 16 – 10:30 PM ET When the boxing world turns its attention to Las Vegas on Thursday, Nov. 16 at T-Mobile Arena, Shakur Stevenson, looking to grab his third world title, will step into the ring against the powerful Dominican boxer, Edwin De Los Santos, for the WBC lightweight world title. But wait, there’s more! Co-headlining the event, Emanuel “Vaquero” Navarrete from Mexico will put his WBO junior lightweight title on the line against Brazil’s Robson Conceição, a challenger who’s twice vied for the world title. This boxing bonanza, streamed live on ESPN channels starting 10:30 p.m. ET, sets the stage for a big week in Las Vegas. Wanna be part of this action-packed evening? Top Rank and Sampson Boxing have your back. Tickets will be available starting Friday, Oct. 6, at noon PT on AXS.com. Stevenson (20-0, 10 KOs), hailing from Newark, New Jersey, has an impressive resume. Within just five years of turning pro, he grabbed two division titles. A silver medalist from the 2016 Olympics, Stevenson’s professional journey has been nothing short of spectacular. From besting Joet Gonzalez for the vacant WBO featherweight title in 2019 to conquering Jamel Herring and then Oscar Valdez, Stevenson is on a roll. His latest impressive win? A knockout of Japanese fighter Shuichiro Yoshino this past April. Meanwhile, De Los Santos (16-1, 14 KOs) brings a storm of punches from the Dominican Republic. Starting his professional journey in 2018, he tallied 13 consecutive wins. Although he faced a setback against William Foster III, he bounced back beautifully, registering impressive victories in 2022. His reward? A golden chance to fight for the world title. Navarrete (38-1, 31 KOs) is no stranger to world titles. After snatching the WBO junior featherweight crown from Isaac Dogboe in 2018 and defending it successfully five times, he climbed up the weight ladder. Recent wins against Liam Wilson and then Valdez prove he’s a force to be reckoned with. Looking forward, another title in a new weight division might just be in his sights. As for Conceição (17-2, 8 KOs), he holds the distinction of being Brazil’s first Olympic boxing gold medalist. After narrowly missing out on the world title against Valdez in 2021 and giving Stevenson a respectable challenge, he’s back for another crack at boxing glory. Stevenson-De Los Santos and Navarrete-Conceição will be broadcast live on ESPN, ESPN Deportes and ESPN+ beginning at 10:30 p.m. ET/7:30 p.m. PT Tickets go on sale Friday, Oct. 6 at 12 p.m. PT via AXS.com Emiliano Fernando Vargas, an undefeated up-and-comer, gears up to step into the ring for a sizzling six-round bout at T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada on Thursday, Nov. 16. Remember the name Vargas? Yep, Emiliano is the prodigy of the former junior middleweight champ, Fernando Vargas. This young gun is set for his sixth showdown of the year in a lightweight fight, taking on another clean slate fighter, Cristian Olivares. Since turning pro last May, Vargas, with an impressive 7-0 scorecard and 6 knockouts, has been making respectable waves. Signing with Top Rank later that year, this young dynamo’s been on fire! After settling the score with Francisco Duque in February, “El General” has a hat-trick of second-round wins to his name. Let’s not forget that stellar body shot KO against Rafael Jasso in May at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. And boy, Alejandro Guardado would surely remember the third-round TKO. On the flip side, Olivares (10-0, 5 KOs) is walking into this fight, riding high on a unanimous decision win over Franco Facundo Huanque earlier this year. Brian Norman Jr., boasting a stellar record of 24-0 with 19 knockouts, is set to square off against Quinton Randall, who has a respectable 13-0-1 and 3 KOs, in a sizzling 10-round welterweight fight. Norman has more than just talent; he has boxing heritage. His father, Brian Norman Sr., had a storied career in the light heavyweight division over 30 fights. The younger Norman is carving his own legacy with significant wins over Rodrigo Coria and Jesus Campos earlier this year. Meanwhile, Randall’s recent victories include a TKO against Terry Chatwood and a decisive fight against Willie Jones. In what promises to be a fierce fight for the title of Las Vegas’ best, Floyd “Cashflow” Diaz, with an unblemished 9-0 record and 3 KOs, is taking on Max Ornelas, who stands at 15-1-1 with 5 KOs, in an eight-round junior featherweight fight. Diaz recently conquered Luis Fernando Saavedra, while Ornelas is hungry to bounce back from a debated split decision against Hector Valdez. Troy Isley, a U.S. Olympian with an impressive 10-0, 4 KOs, is gearing up for a significant eight-round middleweight showdown with Mexico’s seasoned Vladimir Hernandez, who has 14 wins, 5 losses, and 6 KOs under his belt. Fresh from dominating performances against Roy Barringer and Antonio Todd, Isley is ready for this challenge. Hernandez, with his credible wins, is no pushover. Young gun Abdullah Mason, at just 19 and holding a 10-0, 8 KO record, will step into the ring for his fifth fight this year, facing off against Texas-based Jose Cardenas in a six-round lightweight contest. Mason’s track record for 2023 has been impeccable with 4 wins, including three by knockout. Las Vegas’ own Andres Cortes, an undefeated junior lightweight with a 20-0, 11 KOs record, will face a tough competitor in Nicaragua’s Freddy Fonseca in a 10-round contest. Cortes’ recent performance saw him deliver a spectacular seventh-round win over Xavier Martinez. Lastly, Ablaikhan Zhussupov, an Olympian hailing from Kazakhstan with a fresh 4-0, 3 KO record, is gearing up for an eight-round welterweight fight, taking on Mark Dawson, who has an 11-1-1, 4 KO record.
