The 29-year-old has been given a huge call up to fight for the title after Stevenson's original opponent - Floyd Schofield - pulled out just six days before the huge event.
He is also the former WBC and WBO World Featherweight champion and now faces Josh Padley on short notice in a fight he is expected to win comfortably.
JOSH PADLEY will be hoping to shock the world when he goes up against Shakur Stevenson for the undisputed WBC lightweight title.
Since moving up weight classes two years ago, Stevenson has shown his dominance after winning and defending the WBC World Lightweight title.
Padley earned a shot at the title after putting himself on notice with his fantastic victory last year against Mark Chamberlain - who is known as Turki Alalshikh's favourite fighter.
