Similar to Padley, this will be Stevenson's first time fighting in Saudi Arabia but also his first time fighting outside of America and will be hoping to make a great impression with many fans watching the 27-year-old for the first time.
Padley has been a professional boxer for just six years now and with a record of 15 wins and zero losses he now takes a huge step in his career as he takes on Shakur Stevenson for the WBC World Lightweight title.
This is set to be Padley's first fight in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia but his second Riyadh season event - last time out he beat Mark Chamberlain at Wembley Stadium.
Before his most recent fight, Padley was seen fighting on small fight events against much lesser known boxers, forcing the electrician to keep his part-time job for the much needed income.
Shakur Stevenson was originally scheduled to fight Floyd Schofield but after being allegedly 'poisoned' just six days before the bout, Padley now steps in to what is the biggest fight of his life.
