Joe Cordina does not believe that Shakur Stevenson is seriously approaching the fight with Conor in welterweight after defending the title on July 12 before William Zeda. Cordina says that Benn hits heavily, massive and would be unsafe for Shakur with eight ounces of gloves.
Eddie Hearn said Benn and Shakur contacted him to fight. Hearn says he will do it after the next fights. Conor is expected to take September with Chris Eubank Jr. Then he can fight Shakur (23-0, 11 KO).
Shakur are you chasing millions?
“No, it’s full of S *** “ Joe Cordina said Boxing news Asked about his reaction to Shakur Stevenson, who said he wanted to fight Conor Bennem next after his July 12 clash with William Zezda. “He is a very good warrior, a technically good warrior, but when he gets [pressured, he runs]. “
Shakur can be seriously seriously in terms of fighting with Conor Bennem, because he wants to feel the taste of great money that is missing during his career. He apparently heard about millions of Benn, who Benn created for his last fight with medium weight Chris Eubank Jr. April 26 and wants to enter the action. This may be the only chance of Stevenson to get a life -changing money. If his dream is to live among the millionaires in HO-HO-KUS,Saddle River or Rumson, Recent Jersey, the fight against Conor, there would be a fight.
“Well, we see how he is to other fighters when they throw at him excavated on his weight. He is on his bike. I can only imagine how he would be with him if Conor Benn is with him. Of course he sees the gaps in Conor, but Conor is a massive boy. And he also strikes demanding. Few Eight Guine.
“Very good fight,” Cordina said about Shakura’s fight with Zepeda. “It will be an thrilling fight, or It will be a well. Or or. It will not be hard and will go away. Yes, if Shakur enters a bike, it can be the most celebrated, but it’s boxing. It will hit and not be hit. “
Boos is waiting for Shakur?
There is no guessing. Shakur will go on July 12, because to stand out of him as Tevin Farmer did it, it would be suicide. Stevenson is not as demanding as a farmer and it would not last four rounds fighting Puncher like Zepeda in his pocket. He should fight him, because this clash is an interrogation regarding the potential fight against great money with Gervont Davis. Turki Alalshikhi will not want to finance the fight against Tank-Stevenson if Shakur is booed from the Louis Armstrong stadium in Queens in his title defense against Zepeda.
Shakur must be ready to put his skin on the line, not entertaining the earth with anyone and the coatings to its basic elements will be eagerly left through Zepeda. He could still fight the tank if at least he tried to fight the Mexican knockout artist. If Shakur escapes and fights in his typical style, his chances of getting this fight will disappear.
“And for purists, it will be an unbelievable performance. But for fighters who judge him as a pound as one of the best fighters on the planet, he will probably suppress what he does. Cordina said.
Average boxing fan They are bored with their mind If Shakur decides to escape against Zepeda. This is the only option that Stevenson won because he is too faint and breakable to stay in his pocket and fight. His last fight with the British warrior Josh Padley could give him ideas that he could endure his land and fight in February last year.
It was a special case. Padley could not hit and was perfect for Shakur to fight in his pocket. He can’t do it against Zepeda without passing on machines. Stevenson is not more hard than the earlier victims of Zepeda, Giovanni Cabrera, Maxi Hughes and Marcito Gesta. If these guys could not cope with Zepeda’s attack, Shakur also not. That is why he will have to run, which means a lot of Boos. This fight takes place in Recent York, so they will not be kind when Stevenson starts running to avoid Zepeda’s pressure.
Tim Tszyu seeks to become Australia’s third multi-divisional boxing world champion when he competes for Erislandy Lara’s WBA middleweight title next month, and ahead of the action, trainer Robert Garcia has offered his thoughts on the fight.
Tszyu lost his WBO super-welterweight title in a defeat to Sebastian Fundora back in 2024 and twice failed to reclaim 154lb honours, both against Bakhram Murtazaliev and in a rematch with Fundora.
Since then, the Aussie has stepped up to middleweight and scored a career-best win over Errol Spence Jr earlier this yearand now, the 32-year-old could join lead trainer Jeff Fenech and Liam Paro as his nation’s third two-weight world champion, if he can trump 43-year-old.
Speaking with ProBox TVRobert Garcia, who trains a potential future Tszyu opponent in Vergil Ortiz, admitted that he is leaning towards the home fighter, but noted that Lara will not be phased by competing in the challenger’s backyard.
“We can probably lean towards Tim Tsyzu because he is fighting at home, in front of his hometown, but Lara is not the fighter that brings in a lot of fans following him.
“He doesn’t have a following, he is not one that is going to sell out arenas, so even if it is in the United States, it is likely that most of the people are going to be [there] for Tim Tszyu because Australians do travel and Tim Tszyu has a lot of fans.
“For Lara, going to Australia is like going to Las Vegas or going to New York because he never has that following anyways. Anywhere he goes, he is going to be against the crowd. So, I think for him it is going to be one of those performances where it doesn’t make a difference if he is going to Tim Tsyzu’s hometown.”
Tszyu-Lara takes place at the Cbus Super Stadium in Queensland, Australia on Sunday 13 December.
Deontay Wilder’s former head coach Malik Scott has delivered a knockout prediction for the American’s upcoming showdown with Jai Opetaia.
The pair will square off at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on December 11, with Opetaia making his heavyweight debut on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua.
Despite him being the naturally smaller man, many are favouring the Australian – a former two-time world cruiserweight champion – to defeat his 10-years-older opponent.
It is, after all, generally accepted that Wilder has declined significantly since his trilogy bout with Furywho survived two knockdowns and scored an 11th-round knockout in their 2021 encounter.
Back then, Wilder had just joined forces with Scott, his former opponent, and the pair maintained their fighter-trainer relationship through subsequent defeats against Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang.
With Wilder now operating under different coaches, though, Scott has shared a balanced view of the Opetaia fight with Seconds Out.
“The fight’s got dynamite written all over it. Jai Opetaia is very dangerous, but he’s a smaller man that’s been hurt by smaller men than Deontay, slower men than Deontay.
“I’ve never seen Opetaia get hit by nobody like Deontay; I’ve seen Deontay get hit by bigger punchers than Opetaia. [But] one thing we can expect in this fight is a knockout.
“The name of the fight is ‘bad intentions’ – at least that’s what I’m calling it, because that’s what they share in common. What they share in common is mentality – they both are trying to hurt you.”
While he stopped short of predicting a winner, it is perhaps telling that Scott, despite his relationship with Wilder, has not explicitly favoured him to win by knockout.
