Shakur Stevenson stepped up in weight class and jabbed his way to a second world title, beating Jamel Herring by technical knockout in the 10th round of their junior lightweight championship bout.

Both tested positive for the coronavirus last month, forcing them off ESPN boxing cards they were supposed to headline. The 2016 Olympian was in Las Vegas getting ready to fight on Top Ranks first card back in early June when she tested positive for COVID-19. But the early protocol for the ESPN fights was that once a fighter tested positive, the fight was off. She did, however, test positive at the time for virus antibodies, indicating she had possibly contracted the virus a few months earlier. Just telling people she tested positive was unnerving at first, she said, because she felt there might be a stigma attached to it.
