Everything you need to know about William Zepeda vs. Maxi Hughes

Now that Devin Haney is no longer the undisputed lightweight world champion, the pision is open for the taking. William Zepeda and Maxi Hughes look to prove that they should be in the conversation about being top contenders when they face each other. The eliminator fight for the IBF and WBA titles is in Las Vegas.

Zepeda made his professional debut in 2015. The 27-year-old Mexican southpaw has 25 knockout wins, and his last fight was a KO victory in September against Mercito Gesta. He already has wins against tough competition in Joseph Diaz and Gesta and is looking to add Hughes to his list.

“I am excited for this great challenge ahead of me and to be one step closer to fulfilling my dream of becoming world champion,” said Zepeda. “Maxi Hughes is a great fighter and I can’t wait to face him in the ring on March 16 and represent my humble hometown of San Mateo Atenco on the world stage. “I know Golden Boy wants to bring great fights back to Las Vegas, the capital of boxing, and I want to be a part of that: I want to be crowned World Champion in Las Vegas.”

Hughes turned professional in 2010. “Maximus” is a former British super featherweight/lightweight and European lightweight title challenger. He beat Paul Hyland Jr. in 2021 for the British lightweight belt after several failed attempts against Liam Walsh, Sam Bowen and Martin J. Ward. Hughes lost a controversial scoring decision to former world champion George Kambosos Jr. in his last fight in July, ending his seven-fight unbeaten streak.

“In my last fight in the United States, the judges broke my heart. I won’t let them derail my career. I will return to the United States with the morsel between my teeth. Zepeda had never fought anyone like me before,” Hughes said.
