The undefeated Stephan Shaw will hit the ESPN and ESPN+ cards tonight when he takes on Efe Ajagba 16-1 at the Turning Stone Resort and Casino in Verona, New York. The match is scheduled for 10 rounds in the heavyweight division. This could be an intriguing early-year showdown between the two boxers that fans are likely to see more of in the near future. Shaw, who started his career in 2013, has blocked 13 of his 18 opponents from long distance. On the other hand, Ajagba is looking to continue his career path despite Frank Sanchez’s decision in 2021.
Shaw last competed in November when he won an 8th round match against Rydell Booker via unanimous decision. Ajagba himself last fought back in August when he stopped Jozsef Darmos in the 2nd round. This is not particularly surprising, as Ajagba defeated all but three of his already defeated opponents. in the distance. The man has power – that means any fight he gets into is an interesting one. Guido Vianello 10-0-1 will also compete on Saturday when he takes on Jonathan Rice 15-6-1 in a scheduled 10-round heavyweight bout.
