Stevenson Loses Titles After Missing Weight
WEB Stevenson has been stripped of his titles after missing weight for his scheduled fight against Robson Conceicao. Stevenson had one point deducted in the 9th round for his weight violation.
Conceicao Set to Fight for Vacant Titles
With Stevenson out of the picture, Conceicao will now face Jerry Perez for the vacant WBO super featherweight and WBC lightweight titles. Perez was originally scheduled to fight for the WBO title against Vincent Astrolabio, but Astrolabio withdrew due to a hand injury.
Stevenson's Career in Jeopardy
Stevenson's weight issues have plagued him throughout his career. He has now missed weight in three of his last five fights. The repeated weight violations have raised concerns about his professionalism and dedication to the sport.
Conceicao Emerges as Favorite
Conceicao is now the heavy favorite to win the vacant titles. The Brazilian boxer has won 17 of his 18 professional fights, with 8 wins coming by way of knockout. Perez has a record of 16-3, but has fought a lower level of competition than Conceicao.
