Can Artem Harutyunyan upset Shakur Stevenson in his backyard in New Jersey and take the WBC lightweight title off his waist?
Harutyunyan won bronze in the 2016 Olympics. The 33-year-old is coming off a loss last July against former title contender Frank Martin, showcasing his toughness until taking a knee in the final round. Even with a recent loss, Harutyunyan can erase all doubts by holding gold.
“I respect Shakur Stevenson as a champion, but I’m coming to shock his hometown fans and win the WBC lightweight championship,” Harutyunyan said. “This is the opportunity of a lifetime, and I will take full advantage of it."
