William Zepeda does not have a confirmed fight date following his unanimous decision loss to Shakur Stevenson earlier this year, but he remains positioned for another title opportunity at lightweight.
Zepeda suffered the first defeat of his professional career on July 12, losing by 12-round decision to Stevenson in Queens, New York. The fight went the distance, with Zepeda applying sustained pressure throughout the fight. While the judges’ scorecards favored Stevenson, Zepeda remained competitive throughout the twelve rounds.
As of late December 2025, no return fight has been officially announced or reported for Zepeda. No fight dates have been indicated by promoters or sanctioning bodies, and no negotiations have been publicly confirmed.
Despite the defeat and no next scheduled fight, Zepeda remains highly ranked within the division. He is currently ranked No. 2 by the World Boxing Council and No. 3 by the World Boxing Organization at lightweight. These rankings keep him within reach of another title shot based on the move to the top of the division.
Zepeda has not announced any changes to his team or training situation since the Stevenson fight. There was no indication of injury or consideration of retirement after the fight.
No mandatory fight involving Zepeda has been ordered, and no timetable for his return to the ring has been announced. His status in the title photo remains unchanged.
