Promoter Eddie Hearn still did not give up little hopes that Shakur Stevenson is fighting Gervont Davis. In an interview, the delicate champion of WBC Shakur (23-0, 11 KO) had the appearance and sound of a warrior who admitted that the match against Tank would never happen.
Lost cause?
Promoter Matchroom, Hearn, counted on the first giving Shakur a supple opponent who he did and then began fighting with William Zepeda to prepare him for Gervont Davis. However, Zepeda and his Golden Boy promoters did not show interest in the fight against Shakur.
As for tank, he has his own problems, dealing with Lamont Roach’s mess. If this is done, Davis apparently wants Vasily Lomachenko, Ryan Garcia, and even Jake Paul. Shakur has no meals on his list.
When Gervont presented the conditions for Shakur to fight him, saying that he had to face his “brother” Keyshawn Davis, he just informed him and everyone knew that there would never be a fight. Shakur got a clue and that’s why he looks defeated now. He is now aware that he was a fool to chase this misery for so long seeing things they really.
Hearna’s solution
Eddie does not give up and is understandable why. Champion WBA Tank Davis is the only fight for money for Shakur at the age of 135. If Hearn can’t fight, Shakur signed for nothing.
What’s more, the way he performed in his fight with a substitute opponent Josh Padley On February 22, he is unable to support his WBC belt and an invincible record if Hearn throws him into the general population along with the killers at the age of 135
Fighting with Padley and Edwin de Los Santos showed that Shakur is not good enough to be with any of the candidates with delicate skills. You put in Stevenson with Andy Cruz, Abdullah Mason, Ernesto Mercado, Raymond Muratalla or Frank Martin, that’s over. But Hearn cannot give Shakur special treatment to keep him in the section, isolated from predatory sharks.
Shakur Stevenson: “Eddie, I’m not going to lie. I am ready to fight with everyone. “
Eddie Hearn: “Is [William] Zepeda is going to fight you? Of course there is a tank fight, that is, a fight. Tanks, there will really be no opponents. “
“We have one fight left, and then several options and we want Shakur to be with us for the rest of his career,” said Eddie Hearn IFL TVResponding to the saying that Shakur Stevenson says he has only one fight in the contract with match boxing and wants the fight to be against Gervont Davis.
“I think Shakur is the best 135-pound. Just because Tank had a bad performance last Saturday, people say now: “Yes, I think Shakur defeats Tank,” while before last Saturday “Oh, you would never beat Tank.” Boxing is like that.
“His [Tank-Shakur] Just a great fight. I really want this fight to be and I believe with all my heart, Shakur Stevenson defeats Gervont Davis, “said Hearn.
Jordan argued that the reality behind the proposed Joshua vs. Fury fight differs significantly from public statements, before explaining why he believed the event was already taking place outside the normal promotional structure.
“With all due respect, but first and foremost, the reasons why there is enough money to do this is, as we both know and have discussed many times, that both Tyson and Joshua have slightly different deals with their promoters than other fighters because they are not subject to a broadcasting obligation,” Simon said on talkSport Boxing.
“So when Tyson Fury does a deal, he doesn’t necessarily have to be on a broadcaster that Frank Warren or Eddie Hearn is contracted to.
“Where is this fight? Netflix, right?
“So with all due respect and I mean no disrespect to either Frank or Eddie, neither of them are promoting it.
“It’s a deal with Netflix that ultimately includes some of Turki Alalshikh’s money, so Dana is throwing her two pence into the ring.
“But Eddie promotes AJ and Frank promotes Tyson, so they must be involved.”
Jordan then suggested that White’s connection to Turki Alalshikh is the reason the UFC boss is publicly discussing the fight.
“Dana’s daddy will promote it, i.e. Turki Alalshikh” – said Simon.
Both Joshua and Fury are expected to return to the ring ahead of their scheduled showdown later this year, with Joshua scheduled to fight on July 25, with Fury also discussing a return fight.
Hrgovic strongly disagreed and mocked Allen’s approach to the fight while discussing his opponent.
“Yes, that’s his loser mentality. That’s what he achieved throughout his career. That’s why he suffered 10 defeats and I suffered one defeat,” Hrgovic told iFL TV.
“It’s just an underdog mentality. I just take the pressure off myself like, ‘I’m a Doncaster boy.’ I’m here to fight the good fight. I don’t have to win. It puts pressure on him.”
“You know, it’s a loser’s mentality. So OK, I’ll take the pressure. I have to win. I’m a winner.
“He always had this mentality. ‘I’m fat. I don’t train. I don’t need to win. I’m tiny’. Come on, man. Don’t make excuses your whole life. Just train, be professional and go for the win.
“I expect him to be the best version of himself because this is a huge opportunity for him and it’s his hometown. I expect him to be in good shape.
“I think I’m definitely a tougher fight for him than Zhang. Zhang is aged, aged.
“I can also be fat if I don’t train and if I drink beer. I can be fat and be a journeyman and come to every fight and just say, ‘I don’t have to win.’ I’m here to fight the good fight. “
“I think I’m better. I’m faster. I’m better in all aspects of the fight. But you know, it’s heavyweight boxing. Anything can happen and he’s a brave guy. He always comes forward and steps up to the fight. So I think it’ll be a good fight.”
Hrgovic comes into the fight after a tough recent run that has included physical fights with Daniel Dubois, Joe Joyce and David Adeleye. He defeated Joyce and Adeleye after losing to Dubois, with both victories coming after tough rounds and bulky rallies.
The fight will be the main event of Saturday’s heavyweight gala in Doncaster.
