Shakur Stevenson does not promise a retreat against William Zepeda: can Braggard finally silence critics and provide a fight?

Shakur Stevenson says He didn’t run away In his fight with William Zedaja on July 12 in Novel York. The lithe champion of WBC Stevenson (23-0, 11 KO) replied this week to criticism that he would not win the fight if he escapes from Zepeda (33-0, 27 KO). Zepeda seems to have an order for him, which is why he is so eager to fight a Mexican knockout artist. Shakur did not show the same readiness to fight the President No. 1, Andy Cruzor his “brother” Keyshawn Davis.
Fans want Shakur to fight Zepeda, instead of running all over the creation, as he did against the last decent opponent he met two years ago, against Edwin de Los Santos in 2023. So that Shakur does not run away from the high volume of Zepeda, it will be demolished without four or five rounds. There is no way to match the Mexican blow.
Stevenson was booed from the T-Mobile Arena for running all night. Since then, his promoters tried to match him only with the low level opposition to avoid this repetition; Hence, we saw Shakur fighting Electrician, Josh PadleyAnd the slightly striking Artem Harutyunaan, who lost his loss and a year -round release.
What’s wrong with Shakur?
- Lifeless fights: People do not like to watch the amateur style of Shakura, which he still uses. He focuses on scoring points, hitting, and then backing up 3 to 5 feet to avoid replacement. It is always one blow at once, and then the defender’s step. Fans perceive it as uninteresting.
- Tender record: No significant victories. Stevenson chooses opponents who are not a threat that they have defeated him, and can pour them out using a uninteresting style of fighting. The best name on his album is Edwin de Los Santos and probably lost to him. Although Stevenson defeated Oscar Valdez, he was 100% washed when there was a fight.
- Braggard: At X Shakur, he boasts what he is and how he is the best warrior in boxing. He does everything that you praise, never fighting with anyone’s good. Fans are annoyed to see him as false. He wants to be loved, but he doesn’t have to get it, fighting and beating the best.
- Too much by pressing the payment: Stevenson persecute Gervont Davis for a fight 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from his arrival in a lithe in 2023. He just wants this payment without earning him, accepting his “brother”, Keyshawn Davis, Andy Cruz, Abdullah Mason and Raymond Muratalla.
You won’t run on July 12, you don’t know boxing if you think I’m a Lol runner https://t.co/qlgar2fvxr

Hearn is trying to quickly unify Ennis – Norman Jr., faces resistance from the Norman Jr. team.
Published

May 12, 2025
Eddie Hearn says he wanted to “lock“WBO Master of welterweight, Brian Norman Jr. In the unification agreement at the moment to clash with IBF and WBO Champ Jaron” Boots “Ennis, but Normana Jr. He told him that they wanted to wait for Jin Sasaki in June.
Hearn says that Ennis (34-0, 30 KO) can face Teofimo Lopez because Turks Alalshikh wants her to fight so. He says WBA obligatory Shakhram Giyasov “It’s not a fight we really want“For Ennis. Hearn suggests that they will organize a contract for Giyasov, to go aside, so that Ennis can fight Norman Jr. or, more likely, Teofimo then.
The promoter of Matchroom, Hearn, states that Boots only want “belts and union”. Defense defense is not what he wants. He does not say whether Ennis will continue to take steps with Giyasov or other obligatory pretenders who pop up until he reaches the purpose of being the undisputed champion at the age of 147.
ENNIS probably do to accelerate the process of non -questioning immediately or suffering losses along the way. If the master can escape from extreme unsafe contenders, this is a great way to avoid beating and rapidly capturing belts against tender masters. However, this is a bad precedent when the masters can do it because it is not sporty.
“Blocking” discount?
“He is [Brian Norman Jr.] Absolutely available now. We submitted them to the offer last week. And we even said to them: “If you take this fight [Jin Sasaki]IN Let’s close the fight After that, October, November, December, whenever, “said Eddie Hearn to Chris Mannix YouTube channel About how he recently tried to configure the union between his warrior Jaron “Boots” Ennis and Brian Norman Jr.
“And they [Team Norman Jr.] He returned and said: “We don’t want to talk about any other fight until we fight.” So I don’t know. We cannot rely on Brian Norman Jr., who chased any size because the purse is outraged in terms of what he created. This is a huge purse in terms of what we offered him, “said Hearn.
Why Norman Jr. would like to negotiate the fight against Boots Ennis before the fight against Jin Sasaki on June 19 in Tokyo, Japan? The value of Norman JR may raise rapidly after this fight if it looked spectacular against Sasaki, and then he would be worth a lot more money in the fight against Ennis. That Hearn would try to quickly negotiate a contract with Norman Jr. To get low-cost, before its value increases. This is the crafty move of Hearna. Norman Jr. He doesn’t fall in love with this. They were not born yesterday and they know what this game is about.
“We don’t want to fight”
“We have mandatory Shakhram Giyasov [for Boots Ennis’ WBA title]IN which is not really the fight we wantBut we understand his position. He moved to the side to let [Eimantas] Stanionis is fighting, and then the second fight is Teofimo Lopez, and his Excellency [Turki Alalshikh] It seems that we want us to take – said Hearn.
As you can see here, Hearn already says that Giyasov will be avoided so that the shoes can take another fight. If he does not want to defend against his mandatory contenders, he must leave or deprive himself of his WBA or IBF title, if he also begins to avoid defense against their mandatory pretenders. I know Ennis wants a surface trick After capturing the undisputed at 147, but what is the achievement if you avoided fighting the obligatory pretenders on the whole road? This is one of the problems that are bad in boxing.
When popular masters win titles, they twist their main competitions, looking for defense against their obligatory pretenders. One example was Canelo Alvarez, who did not defend against David Benavidez when he was his mandatory WBC for two years. This happens with Ennis shoes, avoiding the mandatory WBA Giyasov.
“Teo called it. I love the fight in terms of our skills, our chances of winning this fight. I think it’s a good fight profile,” said Hearn. “Jaron is very clear in terms of what he wants. Belts, union and unquestioned. So when I talk to him about Teo’s fight, it’s a bit like: “Yes, I don’t mind, but what about the titles?”
It doesn’t matter what shoes want. He has mandatory duties if he wants to keep his titles. You don’t win them without having to defend the titles by choosing a fight with anyone you want. Hearn suggests that Ennis will twist his mandatory WBA Giyasova and will either fight at the business level with a smaller, player with a low Teofimo exit, or less likely, fight union against Norman Jr. Giyasov for the second time in a row after he was defeated with the Stanionis unification clash.
Paying to avoid competition
“So if we can’t get the title and If there is a way to deal with Shakhram Giyasov, Regardless of whether in the meantime or anything else, we are open to the fight of Teofimo Lopez. I think it’s a great fight and respect for Teo, if he wants to jump and take it, “said Hearn.
Ennis should fight his obligatory pretenders. What is the master that he bypasses his mandatory duties and only fights with great money with such as Teofimo or united matches? Jaron wants to become the undisputed champion in the age of 147; He should deal with his obligatory pretenders, like any other master, and not have special treatment to twist them to facilitate work.
If Ennis already does this in welterweight, you can bet that he will do the same at the age of 154 if he gets one of the titles. Theoretically, the shoes could twist the ranking of younger killers in medium weight, such as Vergil Ortiz Jr., Israil Madrimov and Serhia Bohachuk, if he manages to capture one of the titles aged 154.
Just Pay them a step away from each other forever. It shows what a warrior can do after supporting a lot of money. When they win the title of world champion, they can twist any of the unsafe compulsory rivals to choose and choose various warriors or masters they want to fight. It’s anti -porting. Imagine for a second what the NBA or NFL team could do if they could pay the main competition to go aside so that they could exploit effortless games. What would leagues be?
“He is [Giyasov] He is our warrior. He is our friend. One thing that we will not do is to be wise and release people, “said Hearn, when Mannix said that Giyasov had already made a favor, pushing to the side to allow him to be able to face the WBA Stanionis master in unification, and not insisting. [Note: Hearn hinting about another step aside deal for Giyasov]. “
Here you go. Hearn suggests a great time that he intends to offer a unsafe Giyasova the next step to the side to get him out of the way so that Ennis shoes can either fight the match of union with Norman Jr., and more likely, a lucrative start with Teofimo Lopez, who says that Turki wants. Giyasov is a more risky version of Karen Chukhadzhian and everything is fine for Ennis, which is struggling with highly qualified Eastern European warriors.

Jake Paul’s most valuable promotions were continued to invest in the boxing of women with the signatures of the master of super weight Middle in IBF Savannah Marshall and the ephemeral owner of WBC, Chantelle Cameron, promotion revealed on Monday ESPN.
The additions of former unquestioned masters boost the already forceful list of women’s boxers, because the most valuable promotions are now offered by four of the 10 best ESPN fighters.
“Savannah Marshall and Chantelle Cameron are world-class athletes who represent the best boxes for women and the proud tradition of the Great Britain masters. Now, together with Ellie Scotney, MVP is the most dominant list of British athletes of women in boxing,” said MVP Paul and Cook Bidarian co-founders. “Like Amanda Serrano and Alycia Baumgardner, Savannah and Chantelle, they have reached the peak of this sport, becoming the undisputed masters, giving them experience, perspective and platform to lead the next generation. We can’t wait for their debuts of MVP in the coming weeks.”
Marshall (13-1, 10 KO) is a world champion in two divisions. It maintained the title WBO Average weight in 2020-2022, after which she abandoned the unanimous decision about the current ESPN fighter No. 1 pound, Claress Shields, in the first versatile boxing card in Great Britain in September 2022, he bounced off the loss, defeating Franchon Crews-Dezurn in 2023. Marshall attacks the return to the ring after trying his hand in MMA, stopping Mirela Vargas in the first round at PFL Europe in Newcastle in June 2024.
“The plan is to support Savannah in the implementation of all fights that is interested, which includes a rematch with Claressa Shields,” said Bidarian ESPN.
“I am glad that I am now part of MVP – which, more than any other promoter, recognize the value that women bring to this sport,” said Marshall. “As a world champion in two weighs and previously reached unquestioned, it seems that he is natural here and I can’t wait to start fighting under their banner.”
Cameron (20-1, 8 KO) became the undisputed champion of the welterweight master in 2022, when she dethroned Jessica McCaskill by a unanimous decision. This also maintains this distinction as the first and only woman who defeated Katie Taylor when she reversed the challenge of the Irish for her undisputed status in 2023. Since then, Cameron won the fights and will have an eye on the winner of the fight Taylor with Amanda Serrano on July 11.
“If anyone wins, they intend to keep the belt in the long run, they will have to face Chantelle,” said Bidarian about Cameron’s plans.
“I am very excited about this movement. MVP did not encourage talks about myself and female boxing,” said Cameron. “This is a fantastic opportunity for the next stage of my career and an unbelievable platform to present my boxing skills.”
The debut fights of Marshall and Cameron with the promotion will be announced in the coming weeks.

Racism Teofimo Lopez: Boxing authorities encouraged to act

Teofimo Lopez is under the growing pressure after his recent comments to Terenka Crawford in a viral film.
Lopez is accused of calling Crawford N-Słow in a statement he has denied. A super lightweight WBO master can now face the action of sanctioning bodies, if an unanimous star does not apply to allegations.
The still available clip, which many fans saved after published it by Lopez, show Teofimo Lopez sr., saying: “This is B **** (Terence) Crawford does not want to fight us!”
Lopez Jr. He answered twice: “Where is n **** er?”
After accusing racism, Lopes replied: “I said” alcohol “because Crawford called my father drunk and drugs.
“I meant how we were in the gym, so I asked:” Where is this alcohol? “
He later added: “I love everyone and appreciate all the breeds. No racism here. Stop hating and stop dividing.
“The vulture of culture, I call it as it is. The truth is that I am the only one that can fall on people’s parades.
“Do not take me if you think I’m a racist or ask me for interviews. A whole group of victims who can’t stand something but fall in love with everything!”
However, despite the fact that Lopez fought without apologizing for his actions, the fans responded to the 27-year-old world champion in two divisions.
“Buddy, we all heard you again,” said one of the commentators. “Wow, stop doing it. See how it ended for Ryan (Garcia).
“You are better. Develop, fuck. This is not a way to get strength. Let your significant boxing skills talk.”
Another said: “You are not the face of boxing. You are the face of racism in sport.”
The third said: “What you do is not a good look. There is no need for it. I’m fed up with pranks from you; it’s absurd behavior.”
“You attract bad energy and there will be a price to pay. Collect it.”
Another added: “People understand that there are consequences for their actions and for each action there is a reaction.
“So you can do and say what you want, as long as you are prepared for everyone and everything that is associated with it, the master.”
The last answer was: “When Crawford see you.”
Lopez, associated with Fighting Crawford in Madison Square Garden, before the former super -secondary champion approached the fight with Canelo Alvarez, he still copies in this matter.
You want me from the game, and I try to aid you because I don’t see the competition except myself!
“Takeover” is supposedly threatened with deprivation of WBO title before moving to 147 pounds. However, the perspective of a shot to the title of welterweight in current circumstances seems distant.
His unanimous decision to win over Arnold Barboza Jr., who appeared on the Times Square card released by negative compuboxic statistics, may be the last shot of Lopez in the world championships for some time.
Coming from Las Vegas, he increased to stars through weight and pounds in the pound rankings since his greatest triumph at the highest ranking against Vasiliy Lomachenko at MGM Grand in 2020.
Where the controversial boxer is going, he is on the debate.

Hearn is trying to quickly unify Ennis – Norman Jr., faces resistance from the Norman Jr. team.

Shakur Stevenson does not promise a retreat against William Zepeda: can Braggard finally silence critics and provide a fight?
