Shakur Stevenson is the biggest betting favorite from Saturday’s stacked Riyadh Season show in Saudi Arabia.

DraftKings has the WBC lightweight champion Stevenson listed at -1400 and his upstart opponent Floyd Schofield Jr. as a +750 betting underdog.

The seasoned standout Stevenson (22-0, 10 KOs) is a three-division champion, a 2016 Olympic silver medalist, and the southpaw sits just outside of The Ring’s top ten pound-for-pound list.

The 22-year-old Schofield (18-0, 12 KOs), meanwhile, turned pro in 2020 and has never challenged for a world title. His best win came against Rene Tellez Giron last time out in November in a fight he got dropped in.

Despite the developments, Schofield is a touted up-and-comer and one of the blue-chip prospects in the Golden Boy Promotions stable.

Golden Boy chief Oscar De La Hoya isn’t too concerned about what seems to be an insurmountable task for his talented charge.

“You can't be overly confident when your young lions are facing great fighters,” De La Hoya told DAZN. “Shakur Stevenson is probably the most gifted fighter on the planet today. But the one thing that I love about Kid Austin is that he has what it takes. He has the courage. He has the abilities and talent, the speed, the power.

I believe that he is going to shock the world. Mark my words. I am crossing my fingers. His hard work, dedication, and discipline, bar none is the best ... I will never tell a fighter what they are going to do. I can only guide careers. I had plans for Kid Austin, but slowly and surely, he's ready. They say they are ready, and I have to go with their instincts. I am a thousand percent behind them.”
