Shakur Stevenson and Teofimo Lopez have been locked in talks for a much-anticipated showdown, but updates on the fight have been scarce since it first grabbed headlines.

But after that initial momentum, everything went quiet, and the matchup seemed to stall. Now, however, Stevenson’s promoter, Matchroom Boxing boss Eddie Hearn , has stepped in with a new update on where the fight stands.
