Sensational southpaw Shakur Stevenson has his sights set on his second world title in just his 16th bout, but stood in his way is the powerful but little-known quantity that is Jeremiah Nakathila. With the vacant WBO Junior Lightweight on the line, read on as we explain how to watch a Shakur Stevenson vs Jeremiah Nakathila live stream today and catch all the boxing action online from anywhere in the world.

Stevenson is Nakathila’s highest-profile opponent so far, but the 23-year-old New Jersey native – who beat Christopher Diaz two years ago – is targeting big game like WBO junior lightweight Jamel Herring and WBC super featherweight champ Oscar Valdez.
Shakur is certainly the favorite here, but it’s shaping up as a clash of styles that could really test the undefeated former WBO featherweight champ.
Nakathila is the much heavier hitter of the two men, but Shakur – a pure boxer who’s got this far because of his skill and intelligence in the ring – has hinted that he might try going toe-to-toe instead.
Is it all bravado, or is he really going to risk it? Follow our guide below to watch a Shakur Stevenson vs Jeremiah Nakathila live stream online from anywhere.
