Image: Joe Cordina Doubts Shakur Stevenson's Seriousness About Fighting Conor Benn Next, Citing Benn's Power and Stevenson's Tendency to Run

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.

Joshua and Usyk now train together, having famously had two battles for the unified world heavyweight title in 2021 and 2022, and the Ukrainian has had his say on his stablemate’s victory over Prenga.

Speaking to TalkSporttwo-time undisputed champion Usyk praised Joshua, insisting ‘AJ is back’ before predicting that Joshua will now claim a knockout win over long-term rival Tyson Fury in his next bout.

It’s boxing, [the] big upper cut is good, it’s a knockdown. AJ [come] back and win.

“Greedy Belly [Fury] will speak now and say weak chin, Greedy Belly get out. AJ wins [against Fury], [he will] knock him out.”

One man who was ringside to witness the battle was former cruiserweight world champion Tony Bellewand he praised Joshua’s ability to turn things around in the fight after describing it as ‘chaos’.

“We predicted round two but I don’t think we foresaw that. That was chaos. He doesn’t see the uppercut coming and finds himself on the floor without knowing how he got there.

“The second one he did see it coming and he was able to clench down on the jaw. He got up and then the experience that he has he used tonight because he tied him up. Against Andy Ruiz he didn’t know what he was doing and didn’t know how to do that, but tonight he did.

“He showed once again there is no quit. To be that hurt in the first round and get up, that’s the recoveries of power. People talk about your chin, but it’s not, it’s the level of fitness that gets you up from the floor.

“When Joshua gets a fighter hurt he’s the best finisher in the division. Whenever he hurts someone they’re gone. I haven’t seen him drop anybody and they survive, only Andy Ruiz. He’s a ruthless finisher.”
