Eddie Hearn says that the lightweight champion of WBC Shakur Stevenson will be ready to fight Gervont Davis if he wins against William Zepeda on Saturday, July 12 at Queens, Novel York.

Hearn pushes the fight against Tank Davis

Promoter Hearn believes that Stevenson (23-0, 11 KO) will do enough, beating Zepeda (33-0, 27 KO) to show that he is “the best airy in the world” and ready to fight the WBA tank Davis champion. If the next Davis-Shakur fight would be a business type duel, not a match covering the best two airy.

We just saw the fight of tank and probably loses his last fight against Lamont Roach. He looked terrible. And Shakur has not fought with any significant lightweight, since his needy performance against Edwin de Los Santos, where he was revealed by him in 2023. Stevenson’s two fights, because this bad effort was against these airy beats:

– Josh Padley
– Artem Harutyunyan

Hearna’s contract strategy for Shakur

Understandable, Hearn is in crazy rush That the Davis tank would fight for Shakura, because his two -year contract with Matchroom expires with Zepeda’s fight. Hearn would probably like to extend his contract with Stevenson, and the best way to do it would be to provide a fight against great money in Gervont.

The head of Matchroom, Hearn, must be seen at least an attempt to make this fight, because it is the only one who wants Shakur. For the money and validation he would receive if he used his amateur style to terminate the tank to win the decision.

Calling tank Davis

“I believe that Shakur Stevenson is now the best airy in the world. Gervonta Davis against Shakur is another huge fight. One of the best in sport. Let’s deal with Saturday, winning, and it will be The moment of interfering for Shakur Stevenson. “

“Provinting Moment” commentary means that Shakur can get up and Crow like a roosterUsing its perch like a fence to call tank Davis. There would be an ugly observation, considering that his airy CV would still be frail, even with winning over Zeda.

We are talking about the transition with an electrician, Josh Padley, to defeat Zepeda, and then a uncomplicated fight with great money from Gervont Davis. Stevenson still doesn’t deserve to fight. To really get the fight against the tank, Shakur should defeat these warriors one after another in this order without controversy:

1. Andy Cruz
2. Abdullah Mason
3. Raymond Muratalla
4. Floyd Schofield
5. Herrera Core

Shakur: Hype Job or legitimate?

Even if Shakur was signed on a long -term agreement with Matchroom, Hearn would continue to hurry with the fight Tank Davis. The reason for this is that Stevenson is not as good as the best guys. If the fight in Gervont is delayed a year or two, Newark, from Novel Jersey, Shakur, would bet on intense pressure to prove himself with high quality lightweight.

“I think it should [be next]. Shakur against Zepeda is a great fight. I think this is a kind of fight you really need, “said Eddie Hearn supervisor that Gervonta Davis then then for Shakur Stevenson, if he defeats William Zepeda on Saturday.

Tank vs. Shakur is not a fight that fans “really need”. People must see Andy Cruz or Abdullah Freemade by facing Stevenson. Fans have to determine whether Shakur is legitimate or simply false, because the way it was promoted, because the transition to a lightweight is an example of the noise produced.

We saw Hearn secured Edgar Berlanga with the fight with Canelo Alvarez, matching him to two cans of tomatoes after signing him to Matchroom. Now we see how Hearn works in the same magic with Shakur in the second fight against his two -law agreement with his company.
