Shakur Stevenson says he has been left with a contract with Matchro, and wants that fight against Gervont Davis, William Zeped or Lamont Roach. It doesn’t look good for Eddie Hearn promoting Stevenson (23-0, 11 ko) to get any of these opponents in his last fight.
Tank and roach is likely to fight the rematch. Neither of them will be supported by Stevenson because there are too many interests of fans to see the other conflict between them. WBC Temporary Champion in the lightweight category of Zeped (32-0, 27 ko) has a rematch against Tevin Farmer on March 29 at Cancun, Mexico. It is still too early to know if he and his promoters in Golden Boy will want to fight Shakur next.
Alternative struggles
– Andy Cruz
– Raymond Muratalla
– Abdullah Zidar
– Edwin de Los Santos
– Joe Cordina
Shakur may have to Take what Hearn can dig up For him, who could be another British fighter like Josh Padley, The guy he just fought. Hearn can easily produce those types of shakur fighters, but he should be ready to reduce their expectations a little.
League Leap?
We know that Hearn Tanka Davis hardly pushed the WBA champion in a lightweight category, but that doesn’t happen if Turki Alalshikh is not interested in that fight. I don’t think it will.
WBC champion in a lightweight category Shakur does not tell if she will be acceptable to fight his ‘brother’ Keyshawn Davis or some of the talented competitors such as Andy Cruz, Raymond Muratall, Abdullah Mason or Edwin de Los Santos. The 2016 Olympic Silver Medal did not mention Stevenson that he wanted to fight any of those guys in the last struggle of his contract because he was looking for a big fish.
“If he stays at 147, that fight will never happen,” said Shakur Stevenson Talk The fight between him and Devin Haney never happened if Dev decides to stay in 147.
Haney (31-0, 15 ko) is never expected to return to divisions of £ 140 or £ 135 at this stage of career. He was fighting on May 2 against Jose Ramirez on the Turki Alalshikh Tab and then against Ryan Garcia in Rovent in October. It is unrealistic to assume that Haney would go light to fight Shakur.
Dream matches
“I don’t even want to go into details about the contract, but I have another fight [with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing]but it should be or [William] Zeped or tank. However, I hear the tank struggling with someone else, “Shakur said.
“If not, I could even switch it and look for a lamont [Roach]. I think it’s a fight, “Shakur continued.” I am really cool with Lamont. We got friendship. I know Lamont for years and years. What he just did [against Gervonta Davis] It was amazing to see. He put on a great performance, I would love to show that I am the level above him. “
Shakur does not tell if he will be repeated with Hearan for another short three -fighting contract, but that is not likely. He probably hopes that Turks will offer him big money to join his new league, which he could live for if he did.
If Dana White seriously wants to wish fighters in this new boxer league to fight the “best”, Shakur will not do well if it means to face someone good, especially if it involves the fight against someone two divisions greater than him.
Turks like to make unusual couples between the weight division fighters, and may be given the idea of putting Shakur with someone like Welterweight Jaron Ennis, which would be complete mismatch. Again, Shakur signing with the Turks can be something that regrets if it starts to lose an hour.
