Shakur Stevenson (23-0, 11 KOs) proved that Josh Padley (15-1, 4 KOs) was no match for him by stopping him in nine rounds. The official time of stoppage was 3:00.

Shakur Stevenson knocked out Josh Padely after dropping him three times in the ninth round to remain the WBC Lightweight Champion. Padley was a late replacement after Floyd Schofield withdrew with an illness.

Shakur Stevenson is hoping to put in a statement performance on his Riyadh Season debut as late replacement Josh Padley challenges for the WBC lightweight title.
