Summary: A big step has been taken on the path to bringing that vision to life, as the 23-year old southpaw from Newark, New Jersey has officially abandoned his featherweight title reign in favor of a run at junior lightweight. The move was acknowledged by the World Boxing Organization (WBO), whose 126-pound crown Stevenson (14-0, 8KOs)has held since a 12-round whitewash of Joet Gonzalez last October.
