The January 31 Ring VI event at Madison Square Garden continues to take shape, with a stacked undercard now confirmed to support the Teofimo Lopez vs. Shakur Stevenson pay-per-view main event on DAZN.
In the co-main event, Keyshawn Davis (13-0, 9 KOs) returns nearly a year after his last appearance to face Jamaine Ortiz (20-2-1, 10 KOs). Davis will compete at junior welterweight for the first time, having last fought in February when he stopped Denys Berinchyk in four rounds to win a world title at 135 pounds. Ortiz enters off an August third-round stoppage of Ambiorix Bautista and has suffered only two defeats, both by decision, against Vasiliy Lomachenko and Teofimo Lopez.
One of two championship bouts sees Carlos Adames (24-1-1, 18 KOs) defend his WBC middleweight title against Austin “Ammo” Williams (19-1, 13 KOs). Adames has not fought since a February split draw with Hamzah Sheeraz that many believed he deserved to win. Williams earned his title shot after stopping Ivan Vazquez in the ninth round and enters on a three-fight winning streak.
The second title fight features Bruce “Shu Shu” Carrington (16-0, 9 KOs) against Carlos Castro (30-3, 14 KOs) for the vacant WBC featherweight championship. Carrington last fought in July, winning a unanimous decision over Mateus Heita, while Castro returns after a September split-decision loss to former world champion Stephen Fulton.
The undercard also includes heavyweight Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller (26-1-2, 22 KOs), who fights for the first time since his August 2024 majority draw with Andy Ruiz. Miller had been scheduled to face Fabio Wardley earlier this year before withdrawing due to injury, making his return another notable addition to an already crowded Ring VI lineup.
Don't miss Lopez vs. Stevenson mega event.
