Shakur Stevenson Dominates Teofimo Lopez to Claim Four-Division World Champion Title

In a stunning display of technical prowess, Shakur Stevenson, aged 28, etched his name in the annals of boxing history by becoming a four-division world champion. The stage was set at the iconic Madison Square Garden on January 31, 2026, where Stevenson (25-0, 11 KOs) outclassed Teofimo Lopez Jr. (22-2, 13 KOs) in a unanimous decision victory. The judges’ scorecards all read 119-109 in favor of Stevenson, reflecting his dominance throughout the bout.

Stevenson’s ascent to the junior welterweight division was marked by a masterful performance, where he effectively neutralized Lopez’s power with a precise and relentless right jab. The statistics spoke volumes, with Stevenson landing 165 punches compared to Lopez’s 72. Lopez’s struggles to find his range were evident, with the only glimmer of hope coming in the 8th round, which all three judges awarded to him.

With this victory, Stevenson now holds the prestigious WBO and Ring Magazine junior welterweight titles, further solidifying his status as one of the sport’s elite fighters. The co-main event saw Keyshawn Davis continue his undefeated streak (14-0) with a late-round stoppage of Jamaine Ortiz. Davis dropped Ortiz in the 11th round before the referee halted the bout in the 12th, delivering a statement performance.

In another thrilling matchup, Bruce Carrington captured the vacant WBC featherweight title with a 9th-round knockout of Carlos Castro, much to the delight of the hometown crowd. However, the night’s most viral moment came courtesy of Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller, who secured a split decision victory over Kingsley Ibeh despite losing his toupee in the second round. Miller’s toupee was dislodged by an uppercut, and he subsequently threw the hairpiece into the crowd before rallying to win the fight. Many ringside observers felt Ibeh had done enough to secure the victory, but Miller’s late surge proved decisive.

Following the main event, tensions flared as Conor Benn entered the ring to confront Stevenson, leading to a heated exchange after Stevenson called him out for a potential future bout. The evening’s full card results are as follows:
