Promotor Eddie Hearn believes that Turks Alalshikh will want to fight between Shakur Stevenson and Gervont ‘Tank’ Davis next Saturday night. Hearn believes the Turks will want to lead a fight between Gervont and Stevenson, which he calls “The biggest fighting in boxing.”
The Turks should show Shakur some difficult love, insisting that at least prove yourself worthy to put together a struggle between himself and Tank Davis. Running this little handle would be a reasonable way to prove Shakur that he deserves to fight the thin:
Glove
- Andy Cruz
- Abdullah Zidar
- Raymond Muratalla
- Ernesto Mercado
Shakur (22-0, 10 ko) will defend his lightweight title of WBC against Josh Padley in Riyadh. It is expected that it will be a simple victory for Stevenson against a border candidate selected as a replacement opponent for Ill Floyd Schofield.
Despite the replacement opponent of a low level that brought Shakur in the fight, this match was not pushed into the preliminary part of the card. Many fans on social networks do not consider him to be valuable PPV, given complete mismatch. Padley is nowhere near the level of a Top-10 fighter, and not even at a distance.
“For me is a tank plan. We want the fight of Zeped. He is a farmer again. He obviously doesn’t want to fight Shakur,” Eddie Hearn said HUB TV fights When asked about the plans for the next fight of Shakur Stevenson if he wins against Josh Padley on Saturday night in Riyadh.
“Fighting Schofield. Fighting Rose in Lamont. How many guys really want to see? You want to see them together. So go through Saturday night. Just do it – tank vs. Shakur. It’s the best fighting in boxing and all we go. You have. His excellency. If he wants to fight, he will do so.
“It is not under my control, but hopefully, the tank wants to be in the biggest fight, and it is [Shakur vs. Davis] In my opinion, the biggest struggle in sports, especially around his weight.
Intentionally or not, the high -level opponent was not chosen to fight Shakur this Saturday night. It would be nice for Stevenson to fight the risk to prove that he evaluated the fight against Gervont Davis, because the fight against Padley is not a way to do so.
When you see a heavy categoric Martin Bakola entered as a replacement opponent Joseph Parker to fight this Saturday night instead of the sick IBF champion Daniel Dubois, it is obvious that Eddie Hearn Protpon Shakur is protected to prevent him from beating him before he gets that tank struggle . Isn’t that what we see? Is a soft match done for Shakur to ensure that it is not exposed before it proves to be fully produced?
Back to the tank?
Looks like Shakur takes rear route In the fight against tanks facing the opposition that has no chance of winning him. What is the other way to see it? Stevenson fights Padley after defeating an inactive fighter who went out for loss in his previous fight, Artem Harutyunyan. Is it accidental that Shakur coincides with this way or is it intentionally ensuring that he does not beat him and ruin him the chances of combating the Davis tank?
“We had three or four opponents. The good thing for Padley was that he had already beat Mark Chamberlain, who is a favorite fighter of his excellence,” Hearn said about Padley chosen for Shakur. “Already, he had already been on Wembley and won that fight. He was #12 with WBC, had 15-0, and we needed a quick decision. His excellency said:” Go with Padley, “and that was that . We called it and achieved a job. “
