Shakur Stevenson reportedly gave up his second fight with the two fighting contract with Eddie Hearna’s match and will cooperate with Promoter Lou Dibela in order to defend his featherlight WBC belt against William Zepeda on the card on July 12 in Fresh York.

Flat fee contract

Stevenson signed a contract with Hearn in 2024 and fought only once, stopping electrician Josh Padley in the ninth round of February 22 in Riyadh. Hearn wanted to plan the fight for Shakur against Joe Cordin in October last year, but he suffered a hand injury during training.

Dan Rafael reports This Shakur (23-0, 11 KO) hired Dibella on “Flat -rate fee“In the case of Zepeda (33-0, 27 KO)” it will do much less than the promoter who had him on the basis of a contract. “

Then he will be a free agent. He says Stevenson gets “In the middle of 7 figures “ to fight Zepeda. So Shakur will receive a day of payment of $ 4 to $ 7 million for Zepeda’s fight. It will be cheaper for Shakur with Dibella than if he was still covered by a contract with Hearn.

Some fans on social media perceive Stevenson’s decision to leave Hearna as an act ingratitude and betrayal. In the end he helped win his name, praising him in interviews, and gave him an basic fight with Padley, not risky against the Cuban knockout artist Jadier Herrera on the card on February 22. Hearn could throw Shakur with Herreca and he would have to escape from the 22-year-old because he has power.

Resignation

“Reporting the card on July 12 with Shakur-Zepeda, a source with knowledge of the specifications, told me that Shakur parted from Matchroom and his manager, James Prince, hired Lou Dibella as his promoter of this event,” said Rafael.

“He had two fights with Matchroom, he made one, apparently each party could give up after the first. He was not in a long -term contract.”

It may not be a great loss for Hearn. Look at the radiant side. He gets rid of a warrior whose fans perceive as pressure sores, and will be worthless for everyone if he loses or goes out poorly against Zepeda.

Shakur cannot fight how Tevin Farmer against Zepeda, because he lacks the size, power and endurance to deal with this kind of pressure. Shakur will have to fight Zepeda so that he will not be eliminated. If he does, his glass hands could break down.

Mike Tyson is the most feared difficult in history – explained by the opponent he destroyed in a few seconds.

Tyson was waiting for the enemy to be beaten and went to the ring defeated when he was the undisputed world champion.

Former world champion and Olympic champion of two scales, Michael Spinks, had no chance, no matter how he felt against Tyson in 1988.

This is the sight of former coach Tyson Teddy Atlas.

First of all, the Spinks fell in 91 seconds against Tyson in the undisputed clash for the title in ponderous weight, three years after growing from 175 pounds.

During its spell, with a lower weight, one -time medium weight received all the offered belts. SPINKS was widely recognized as one of the best lightweight heavyweight of its generation.

In addition, Underdog at the back wins over the Great Larry Holmes, who strengthened him as a fully used operator of the highest quality.

But it was the fight of Tyson, in which the questions hung over “Jinx”, because then the 31-0 star was transported in just over a minute and a half.

Many thought that Spinks had already lost on his way to the ring when he looked terrified because of what was to come. Others just thought that mentally Spinks were released because of the importance of the fight.

When the Congress Hall in Atlantic City stopped her breath, Tyson strengthened his heritage with an incredible performance.

The coach of the night, Kevin Rooney, replaced Teddy Atlas a few years earlier. But Atlas followed Mike Tyson’s career in the next two decades.

Atlas devoted time during one of his last podcasts to make Shield Spinks with unjustified criticism.

“People thought [Michael Spinks] He was a dead walking man. This is a problem, “the Atlas noted.” They rejected everything and I give people.

“They said he was threatened. He was terrified to death and buying pants. In addition, he was frozen like a deer in the spotlight.

“He was a guy waiting for a guillotine. Lay his head on the block and let’s do it.

“First of all, it’s unfair, because no one in his mind and his body could verify it – number one.

“Number two – looking at it from the moment I am, I am a guy who was just as critical as everyone with Tyson and his shortcomings. But at the same time I noticed that he is one of the great strikes in the history of this sport and can hit any hand.

“So I give him due to him.

“They don’t ask me to make a program based on being liked. It’s not about being liked. It’s not about how you perceive facts, eliminating everything else. I give him all his recognition.

“Now I will say that I will say again: when you operate cufflinks, many people rejected the fight, as if the guy did not appear, like nobody with him in the ring (Tyson). He was like a hologram. He was a ghost. There was no one.

“They assume so. One guy says it and everyone is going. They forget that the guy was a golden Olympic medalist in the most outstanding Olympic team in 1976.

“He is one of the greatest united masters of lightweight heavyweight in history.

“I intend to correlate here, well? I do not try to defend anyone. I am not trying to attack anyone. In addition, I just try to justify (in the case of cufflinks)” – he added.

Shakur Stevenson will defend his delicate WBC championships against William Zazda, and Edgar Berlanga will face Hamzahem Sheeraz at the title eliminator on July 12 in Fresh York.

The place has not yet been announced.

The Ring Magazine 3 event, announced on Sunday, will be broadcast in Dazn and will serve as the premiere event of the upcoming TV program Ring “Inside the Ring”.

Stevenson (23-0, 11 KO) descends from the ninth round of TKO over the slow replacement Josh Padley in February. His original opponent, Floyd Schofield, was replaced by Padley during the fighting week.

Zepeda (33-0, 27 KO) recently defeated the former master Tevin Farmer last month. Fighting with Mexico, Zepeda is a great blow, which is a threat against Stevenson’s weakened defense.

Berlanga (23-1, 18 KO) will return to the action four months after he stops in March the dissatisfied Jonathan Gonzalez Ortiz. His lonely loss had a unilateral decision against Canelo Alvarez in September 2024.

Sheeraz from England (21-0-1, 17 KO), which in February debuts in February the debut of great medium weight, debut in February, debut in February, debut in Super Middle Libra, will debut in a super middle weight against Berlang, with the winner in the fight against the title.

Undercard will also be heavily striking subordinate Matias (22-2, 22 KO), requiring the undefeated Alberto Puello (24-0, 10 KO) for the WBC welterweight title. David Morrell (11-1, 9 Kos) wants to return to the win column after losing to David Benavidez when he faces Imam Khataeva (10-0, 9 KO).
