WBO junior lightweight champion Jamel Herring puts his title on the line Saturday against undefeated former world featherweight champion Shakur Stevenson in the main event of a professional boxing card Saturday in Atlanta. The headliners head to the ring around 10:30 p.m. ET at State Farm Arena.
Many boxing observers believe this could be one of the most compelling fights of 2021 outside of the Tyson Fury-Deontay Wilder trilogy match that took place two weeks ago in Las Vegas.
Stevenson (16-0) is a 2016 Olympic silver medalist who has been roundly hailed as a potential star ever since he began his rise up the amateur circuit. However, his stock might have dropped a little on the heels of a handful of lackluster performances.
He will likely have to be at his best to defeat the surging Herring (23-2), who is looking to build off perhaps the most impressive win of his career. He stopped former two-division champ Carl Frampton in April for the third successful defense of his title.
Stevenson is a -1100 favorite (risk $1,100 to win $100), while Herring comes back at +700 (risk $100 to win $700) in the latest Caesars Sportsbook boxing odds for Stevenson vs. Herring.
