William Zepeda is aiming to fight Shakur Stevenson in his next fight, though he has to get past Giovanni Cabrera next.

The unbeaten American also fights on Saturday night. Zepeda vs. Cabrera is live on DAZN , while Stevenson vs. Artem Harutyunyan will be on ESPN in the US ( click here for details ).
Stevenson and Zepeda are both backed by the bookies to succeed, and speaking to BoxingScene , the latter made it clear he wanted to make a fight after their respective bouts.
“I'd like Shakur next. Our styles mesh. He's the type of fighter who doesn't really put himself in danger in his fights. I would have to go after him, and he would box. But I think it would be a very entertaining fight.
“We're willing to fight and I think that fight is going to happen.”
