The upcoming boxing event at Madison Square Garden scheduled for January 31, 2026, has experienced significant changes. The main event, featuring Teofimo Lopez defending his WBO super-lightweight title against Shakur Stevenson, has been canceled due to illness. Stevenson, aiming to become a four-division champion, was set to headline the card, which also included two other world title fights. However, the fight was called off hours before the event because Stevenson fell ill. Additionally, the card included a scheduled WBC middleweight title defense by Carlos Adames against Austin Williams. Adames was hospitalized for dehydration and had to withdraw, leading to the search for a last-minute replacement for Williams. Despite the setback, another title fight for the vacant WBC featherweight title between Bruce Carrington and Carlos Castro remains scheduled. Carrington, a promising local prospect, will face seasoned contender Castro in what promises to be an exciting bout. The event is part of a larger boxing weekend that features other notable fights, including Tyson Fury's return to the ring against Arslanbek Makhmudov on April 11, and title defenses by Richardson Hitchins and Gary Antuanne Russell in February. The WBC has emphasized the significance of the event, branding it as a 'Double WBC Title Zenith' at Madison Square Garden, highlighting the importance of the scheduled bouts despite the main fight's cancellation.
