Very soon, on October 12, a highly anticipated bout between Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev is set to take place. However, the undercard was expected to feature a fight involving Shakur Stevenson, which will no longer occur.

Details: According to Matchroom Boxing, Shakur Stevenson's bout against Joe Cordina will not proceed due to an injury Stevenson has sustained. He injured his hand and underwent emergency surgery.

His promoter, Eddie Hearn, has revealed that the boxer will not be able to return until 2025. He has ruptured a tendon in his finger joint.

Quote: "Unfortunately, he is out of the fight with Joe Cordina on October 12 and will not return until early 2025. He immediately underwent surgery, and I hope everything goes well and he returns to work as soon as possible," clarified Hearn.

Reminder: The undercard for the Bivol vs. Beterbiev fight, scheduled for October 12 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, has been announced. Several intriguing bouts are set to precede the main event.
