Shakur Stevenson comfortably outclassed Teofimo Lopez to earn himself quadruple-division champion status as he captured the WBO light-welterweight crown at The Ring 6.

The star added another strap to his glowing record as he dethroned the champion in New York City, thrilling a Madison Square Garden crowd with a clinical performance.

Victory for Stevenson further underlines his credentials as the successor to Terence Crawford as this generation's multi-weight kingpin, showcasing his vast arsenal of skills.

Now, with another division conquered, the star will surely look to defend his strap again this year, while Lopez will be left to rue his approach after his reign came to a close.
