Stevenson will be looking to increase his status as one of the best fighters in the world. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, however, the fighters participating in this great boxing event will not be fighting in front of fans. There was a little drama at the weigh-in today as Caraballo came in a half-pound over the junior lightweight limit.
It took Caraballo about an hour to lose the half-pound, thus, he made the junior lightweight limit. Do not miss Stevenson vs. Caraballo tomorrow night at 7PM EST on ESPN! Check out the tale of tape for Stevenson vs. Caraballo below.
