The Fearless is preparing for his debut in the lightweight division. He appreciates the Japanese boxer's willingness to step into the ring since many other boxers have refused to face the American. The winner will have the opportunity to compete for the WBC championship as the official contender. There were previous talks about a match with I. Cruz, but according to Arum, the Mexican tried to avoid such a fight. Zepeda also declined, and based on the rankings, the opponent should be Kambosos.

You can watch the showdown between Shakur Stevenson and Shuichiro Yoshino online. The match will take place in Newark, New Jersey, which is the hometown of The Fearless. In September 2022, the athlete secured a victory over Brazilian Conceicao by unanimous decision. Despite the result, he had to relinquish the WBO and WBC belts in the super featherweight division. During the weigh-in, the American was seven hundred twenty-five grams heavier than the allowed limit. Following that incident, Shakur tweeted that he can no longer fit into the constraints and that his health will be paramount from now on.

Stevenson has won all nineteen of his professional matches (9 KOs). The athlete did not hide his disappointment with the difficulties in finding an opponent for his lightweight debut. According to him, boxing is in a bad state if one can simply avoid a fight instead of issuing challenges and testing themselves against the best. The Fearless admitted that he would like to step into the ring with D. Taylor, but it is still too early to talk about achievements in the super lightweight division.

In the fall, Shuichiro secured a premature victory in the battle for the WBO Asia Pacific title in his weight category. Yoshino defeated his compatriot Nakatani in the sixth round. Thus, the Japanese boxer remains undefeated (sixteen victories, twelve by knockout). The slugger was actually ranked after Kambosos, who was not enthusiastic about the idea of boxing against Shakur.
