Determined Pressure of Eddie Hearna for Shakur Stevenson Vs. Gervont Davis, even while Stevenson seems to acknowledge defeat

Promotor Eddie Hearn has not yet given up on a thin hope that Shakur Stevenson will fight Gervont Davis. In an interview, the champion in the lightweight category of WBC Shakur (23-0, 11 ko) had the appearance and sound of a fighter who admitted that the match against Tank would never happen.
Lost cause?
Promotor Matchroom, Hearn, counted that he first gave Shakur a soft opponent, which he did, and then set the fight against William Zeped to prepare him for Gervont Davis. However, Zepeda and his promoters in Golden Boy did not show interest in fighting Shakur.
As for the thin, he has his problems, dealing with disorder Lamont Roach. If when I do, Davis allegedly wants Vasily Lomachenko, Ryan Garcia and even Jake Paul. Shakur is not on his meal list.
When Gervont exposed the conditions for Shakur to fight him, saying that he had to face his “brother” Keyshawn Davis, he basically let him go and everyone knows that he will never fight. Shakur got a hint and that’s why it looks defeated now. Now realizes that he was a fool to haunt this miraga without so long Seeing things as they really are.
Hearn’s determination
Eddie doesn’t give up and that’s understandable why. WBA Champion Tank Davis is the only fight with money for Shakur at 135. Moreover, the way he performed in his fight against his replacement opponent Josh Padley February 22, he’s not capable of holding on to his WBC belt and undefeated record if Hearn throws him with a general population with killers at 135
Fighting Padley and Edwin de los Santos have shown that Shakur is not good enough to be with any candidates who have the ability in light. Put Stevenson with Andy Cruz, Abdullah Mason, Ernest Mercada, Raymond Muratall or Frank Martin, it is over. But Hearn cannot continue with a special shakur treatment to maintain it cut off, isolated from predatory sharks.
Shakur Stevenson: “Eddie, I’m not going to lie. I’m ready to fight everyone and everyone.”
Eddie Hearn: “Is [William] Zepeda will fight you? Obviously, the struggle with a tank, which is, is a fight. Tanks, they will really run out of the opponent. “
“We have a single fight remaining, and then some options and we want Shakur to be with us until the end of our career,” Eddie Hearn said IFL TVResponding to him that he was told that Shakur Stevenson said he had only one fight left on a contract with the box Matchroom, and he wanted that fight against Gervont Davis.
“I believe Shakur is the best 135-poounder. Just because Tank had a bad performance last Saturday, people now say,” Yes, I think Shakur beat the tank, “until last Saturday,” Oh, you would never beat the tank. “Boxing is like that.
“That’s [Tank-Shakur] Just a big fight. I really want to lead that struggle and I wholeheartedly believe, Shakur Stevenson beat Gervont Davis, “Hearn said.
