Shakur Stevenson will mount the latest defence of his WBC lightweight title when he takes on fellow unbeaten fighter William Zepeda Segura in New York on 12th July.
Stevenson has held world titles at three different weight levels and became WBC lightweight champion with victory over Edwin De Los Santos before going on to mount successful defences against Artem Harutyunyan and, most recently, Britain's Josh Padley.
Mexican fighter Zepeda has earned his world title chance after back-to-back victories over Tevin Farmer to first win and then defend the WBC interim lightweight crown.
