The excitement is building as the highly anticipated ‘The Ring 6’ event approaches, scheduled for Saturday, January 31, at the iconic Madison Square Garden. Prominent figures in boxing, including Turki Alalshikh, Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority, have announced an electrifying card that features two major World Title bouts and the much-awaited comeback of former World Champion Keyshawn Davis.
Headlining the event is Brooklyn’s own Teofimo Lopez, who will defend his WBO and The Ring Junior Welterweight Titles against Newark’s WBC World Lightweight Champion, Shakur Stevenson. This marks the first Ring card of 2026, brought to fans by SELA and Matchroom Boxing.
Keyshawn Davis, known as ‘The Businessman,’ is making his return to the ring after a prolonged hiatus. The unbeaten fighter, boasting a record of 13 wins, 9 by knockout, ranked No. 1 by the WBO, will face Jamaine Ortiz in the Co-Main Event. Davis last stepped into the ring in February, where he delivered an impressive victory over Denys Berinchyk at Madison Square Garden Theatre.
Jamaine Ortiz, holding a record of 20 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw, is looking to shake things up. With his only defeats coming from Teofimo Lopez and the legendary Vasyl Lomachenko, Ortiz aims to upset Davis and set himself up for a shot at the winner of the main event.
In another exciting matchup, WBC World Middleweight Champion Carlos Adames will defend his title against Austin ‘Ammo’ Williams. Adames, with a record of 24-1-1, returns to the ring after a draw against Hamzah Sheeraz, while Williams, who has recently scored three consecutive victories, seeks to seize his opportunity for greatness in New York City.
In addition, rising star Bruce ‘Shu Shu’ Carrington will defend his WBC World Featherweight Championship against seasoned veteran Carlos Castro. Also featured on the card is heavyweight contender Jarrell Miller, who will take on Kingsley Ibeh, promising an action-packed night for boxing enthusiasts.
Tickets for this thrilling event are now available for purchase at ticketmaster.com. As the first major title fight of 2026, fans can expect an exhilarating night filled with high-stakes boxing, starting with Lopez’s fourth title defense in pursuit of extending his six-fight winning streak.
For Shakur Stevenson, who aims to become a four-weight world champion, this fight represents a significant opportunity just a stone’s throw from his hometown. His last outing saw him victorious against William Zepeda, further solidifying his status in the boxing world.
