Shakur Stevenson says he has a fight in his contract with Matchroom, and he wants this fight against Gervonta Davis, William Zepeda or Lamont Roach. It does not look good for the Stevenson (23: 0, 11 Kos) equipped by Eddie Hearn, to get one of these opponents in his last fight.
The tank and Roach will probably fight for a residual reserve next. None of them will take a match against Stevenson because there is too much fan interest in seeing a second collision between them. The WBC Interim Lightweight Champion Zepeda (32: 0, 27 Kos) has a retirement against Tevin Farmer on March 29 in Cancun, Mexico. It is still too early to know whether he and his promoters want to fight against Shakur next to Golden Boy.
Alternative fights
– Andy Cruz
– Raymond Muratalla
– Abdullah Mason
– Edwin de los Santos
– Joe Cordina
Shakur may have to Take what Hearn can dig out For him what another British fighter could be like Josh Padley, The guy he has just fought. Hearn can easily produce this type of fighter for Shakur, but he would have to be ready to reduce his expectations a little.
Liga jump?
We know that Hearn has pushed hard for WBA Lightweight Champion Tank Davis to fight Shakur, but that doesn’t happen unless Turki Alalshikh is interested in driving this fight. I don’t think he’ll do it.
WBC Lightweight Champion Shakur does not say if he would be to be fighting his ‘Brother’ Keyshawn Davis or some of the talented competitors such as Andy Cruz, Raymond Muratalla, Abdullah Mason or Edwin de Los Santos. The Olympic silver medalist 2016, Stevenson, did not mention that in his last fight against his contract he wanted to fight against one of these types because he was looking for the big fish.
“If he stays at 147, this fight will never happen,” said Shakur Stevenson Cigar talk A fight between him and Devin Haney never happens when Dev decides to stay at 147.
In this phase of his career, Haney (31-0, 15 KO) will not probably return to 140 or 135 pounds. He fights Jose Ramirez on Turki Alalshikh’s card on May 2 and possibly against Ryan Garcia against Ryan Garcia in October. It is unrealistic to assume that Haney would fall back to light again to fight Shakur.
Dream games
“I also don’t want to go down in contract details, but I still have a fight (with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom boxing), but it should be either (William) Zepeda or tank. However, I hear about tanks fighting someone, ”said Shakur.
“If not, I could even switch it and ask for Lamont (Roach). I think that’s the fight, ”continued Shakur. “I’m very cool with Lamont. We have a friendship. I’ve known Lamont for years. What he was doing (against Gervonta Davis) was amazing. He achieved a great performance, I would like to show that I am also level above him. “
Shakur does not say whether Hearn will be up to another short contract with three fights, but it doesn’t seem likely. He probably hopes that Turki will offer him a lot of money to join his new league that he could regret when he does it.
If Dana White is serious to want fighters in this new Boxing League to fight the best, Shakur will not do well if it means that it is someone. It would be a disaster from FR Stevenson to take over someone who two larger departments than he accepts.
Turki likes to make strange pairings between fighters from different weight classes, and he can get an idea of incorporating Shakur with someone like the world weight Jaron Ennis, which would be a complete non -match.
Again Shakur could be a disaster for him at Turki. The Dana White UFC model with which “Best Vs. Best” is exposed will not work for a weak puncher like Shakur who would have thrown chips from him if he had real sharks. So far he had just had it with a matchroom and top rank. They held Shakur protected and protected him from the brutal reality of life when you fought hungry, ambitious fighters with power.
Stevenson only confronted with a puncher in his career, de Los Santos, and he was booed from the event location. You only know that he will use it with a pack of murderers when he signs with Turki, and it will not end well for him.
