Shakur Stevenson says he has one fight against the Matchroom agreement and wants the fight to be against Gervont Davis, William Zepedie or Lamont Roach. It doesn’t look good for Stevenson promoted by Eddie Hearna (23-0, 11 KO) to get any of these opponents in his last fight.
Tank and Roach will probably fight the next rematch. None of them will take away against Stevenson, because there is too much interest to fans, seeing the second clash between them. The transient WBC champion of Zepeda (32-0, 27 KO) has a rematch against Tevin Farmer on March 29 at Cancun, Mexico. It is too early to know if he and his promoters in Golden Boy will want to fight Shakur.
Alternative fights
– Andy Cruz
– Raymond Muratalla
– Abdullah Mason
– Edwin de los Santos
– Joe Cordina
Shakur can Take what Hearn can dig for him, who can be another British warrior Josh Padley, The guy he was just fighting. Hearn can easily produce this kind of fighters for Shakur, but he would have to reduce his expectations a bit.
Leap Leap?
We know that Hearn is strongly pressing the delicate champion of WBA Tank Davis to fight Shakur, but this does not happen, unless Turki Alalshikh is interested in starting this fight. I don’t think he will do it.
The delicate champion of WBC Shakur does not say if he will be nice to fight him ‘brother’ Keyshawn Davis or some of the talented contenders such as Andy Cruz, Raymond Muratalla, Abdullah Mason or Edwin de Los Santos. Silver Olympic medalist Stevenson in 2016 did not mention the desire to fight with any of these guys in his final fight against his contract because he is looking for a great fish.
“If it stays at the age of 147, this fight will never happen,” said Shakur Stevenson Cigar conversation It never happens about the fight between him and Devin Haney if Dev decides to stay in 147.
Haney (31-0, 15 KO) is not expected to return to 140 or 135 pounds at this stage of his career. He fights on May 2 against Jose Ramirez on the Turki Alalshikha card, and then probably against Ryan Garcia in the rematch in October. It is unrealistic that Haney will fall to a delicate to fight Shakur.
Dream Matches
“I don’t want to go into the details of the contract either, but I have one more fight [with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing]But it should be or [William] Zepeda or tank. However, I hear about a tank fighting with someone else – said Shakur.
“If not, I can even change it and ask for Lamont [Roach]. I think it’s a fight – Shakur continued. “I’m really nippy with Lamont. We have friendship. I have known Lamont for years. What he just did [against Gervonta Davis] It was amazing. He made a great performance, I would like to show that I also have levels. “
Shakur does not say whether he intends to again with Hearn for another brief contract with three fights, but this does not seem likely. He probably hopes that Turki will offer him a lot of money to join his novel league, what he could live to regret if he does.
If Dana White seriously approaches the willingness of fighters in this novel boxing league to fight the “best”, Shakur will not be good if it means to face someone good. It would be a FR Stevenson disaster to take part in two wards larger than him.
Turki likes to create strange couples between warriors from different weight classes, and he can understand the idea to put in Shakur with someone like Jaron Ennis in welterweight, which would be complete mismatch.
Signing Shakur from Turki can be a disaster for him again. The Dana White UFC model facing the “best versus best” will not work for a faint puncher, such as Shakur, who chips would throw him if he had to face real sharks. Until now, it was basic thanks to Matchroom and Top Rank. They protected Shakur, protecting him from the brutal reality of what life looks like when he fights with hungry, ambitious fighters with power.
Stevenson faced only one hit in his career, de los Santos, and was booed. You just know that if he signs from Turki, he will put him in the killers with the power of one impact and it will not end well for him.
