History is on the line when two of the most gifted boxers today face off in Madison Square Garden. Teofimo Lopez defends the WBO and Ring super lightweight titles against Shakur Stevenson, live on DAZN.

A former unified lightweight champion, Lopez (22-1) beat Josh Taylor for the WBO and Ring super lightweight belts. He has had some great moments headlining MSG’s Theater. Now, “The Takeover,” from Brooklyn, attempts to become immortalized in New York’s historic venue.

“The amount of knowledge that's been bestowed in my skills, and the amount of progress I've been creating has really made an impact. I feel very good, excited, determined, and I can't wait to display that on Saturday,” Lopez said.

Stevenson (24-0) is a three-division champion and looks to make a name for himself at 140. The Newark-born fighter, normally reserved, entertained when he took William Zepeda to the limit at Queens' Louis Armstrong Stadium. He looks to continue that momentum against a dangerous Lopez.

"The boxing ring is my comfortable place where I do extraordinary things,” Stevenson told ESPN.

Also on the card, Bruce Carrington fights for a title and Jarrell Miller finally competes inside Madison Square Garden.
