Shakur Stevenson picked up one of the biggest wins of his career on Saturday night, earning a unanimous decision win over William Zepeda at Louis Armstrong Stadium in New York.

After facing criticism for several recent fights in which he was seen as fighting a boring style, including drawing boos and walkouts from live crowds, Shakur Stevenson entered Saturday's WBC lightweight title fight promising to bring the fight to William Zepeda.

Shakur Stevenson (24-0, 11 KOs) promised to hold his ground and deliver an exciting performance. The only thing he wasn't able to do against William Zepeda (33-1, 27 KOs) was score a knockout, but the WBC lightweight champion put together a boxing clinic to retain his title with a unanimous decision at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens.
