Camarón vs. Shakur: The Lightweight Fight Fans Crave
The highly anticipated showdown between William ‘Camarón’ Zepeda and Shakur Stevenson is inching closer, with the fight targeted for mid-year. Zepeda recently confirmed that the bout, billed as Camarón vs. Shakur , is The Lightweight Fight fans crave and expected to headline a 5 vs. 5 card co-promoted by Matchroom and Golden Boy Promotions this June in the United States. Zepeda expressed excitement about the potential matchup, calling it a defining moment in his career.
From Delays to Anticipation
The WBC originally ordered the fight months ago, but personal and professional hurdles delayed it. Stevenson, 26, chose to fight Joe Cordina in October after Zepeda rescheduled due to the birth of his child. Zepeda, meanwhile, returned from a hand surgery to claim a decisive win over Tevin Farmer.
Now, with Stevenson facing Floyd Schofield in February, the June date is gaining momentum as fans eagerly await this clash of undefeated lightweight stars.
Power vs. Precision
Zepeda, 28, wields an unblemished 32-0 record with 27 knockouts, showcasing raw power and relentless pressure. Stevenson’s style, a blend of defense and precision, has earned him a 21-0 record but also criticism for a lack of excitement in recent bouts.
This showdown will test whether Camarón’s aggression can crack Stevenson’s technical mastery.
The Fight of the Year?
With two of the division’s brightest talents colliding, this fight is more than just a title bout—it’s a statement. Who will emerge as the true king of the lightweight division? Stay tuned as Camarón vs. Shakur inches closer to reality!
