The end of Shakur Stevenson’s contract: View Tank, Zepeda or Roach

Shakur Stevenson says he has a fight remaining on his contract with Matchroom, and he wants this fight against Gervonta Davis, William Zepeda or Lamont Roach. He does not seem good for the Stevenson promoted to Eddie Hearn (23-0, 11 KB) to obtain one of these opponents in his final fight.

Tank and Roach are likely to fight revenge afterwards. None of them will take a match against Stevenson because there is too much interest from the fans to see a second confrontation between them. The WBC acting champion, Zepeda (32-0, 27 ko), has a revenge match against Tevin Farmer on March 29 in Cancun, Mexico. It is still too early to find out if he and his promoters at Golden Boy will want to fight Shakur afterwards.

Alternative

– Andy Cruz
– Raymond Muratalla
– Abdullah Mason
– Edwin de los santos
– Joe Cordina

Shakur may have to Take what Hearn can dig for him, who could be another British fighter like Josh Padley, The guy he has just fought. Hearn can produce this type of fighter easily for Shakur, but he should be willing to reduce his expectations a little.

League Leap?

We know that Hearn pushed hard for the light WBA Tank Davis champion to fight Shakur, but that only happens if the Turki Alashikh only wants this fight. I don’t think he will do it.

WBC Champion Lightweight Shakur does not say if he would be pleasant to fight his ‘brother’ Keyshawn Davis or some of the talented competitors such as Andy Cruz, Raymond Muratalla, Abdullah Mason or Edwin de Los Santos. The 2016 Olympic silver medalist, Stevenson, only mentioned that he wanted to fight any of these guys in his final fight for his contract because he is looking for big fish.

“If he stays at 147, this fight will never occur,” said Shakur Stevenson to Talk about cigar About a fight between him and Devin Haney never occurs if Dev chooses to stay at 147.

Haney (31-0, 15 KB) should never return to the 140 or 135 lb divisions at this stage of his career. He fights on May 2 against Jose Ramirez on the map of Turki Alashikh, then perhaps against Ryan Garcia in a revenge match in October. It is unrealistic to assume that Haney descended in light weight to fight Shakur.

Dream matches

“Nor do I want to go into the details of the contract, but I have one more fight (with the ignition boxing of Eddie Hearn), but it should be (William) Zepeda or Tank. I hear about a fighting tank someone else, said Shakur.

“Otherwise, I could even change it and ask Lamont (Roach). I think it’s the fight, ”continued Shakur. “I’m really cool with Lamont. We had a friendship. I have known Lamont for years and years. What he just did (against Gervonta Davis) was incredible to see. He put a great performance, I would like to show that I am also above him. »»

Shakur does not say if he will repel with Hearn for another short contract with three fights, but that does not seem likely. He probably hopes that Turki will offer him a lot of money to join his new league, which he could live to regret if he does it.

If Dana White seriously wants to want the fighters in this new boxing league to fight “the best”, Shakur will not do well if it means confronting someone good. It would be a disaster fr Stevenson to take someone to someone two divisions larger than him.

Turki likes to make strange pairs between fighters of different weight classes, and he can have an idea to put Shakur with someone like the Welter Jaron Ennis weight, which would be a complete gap. Again, Shakur signed with Turki if he only wants a home “the best against the best”.

Until now, Stevenson has faced only one puncher from his career, from Los Santos, and he has been hooked out of the site. You just know that if he signs with the Turki, he will put him with killers with a power all at once, and that will not end well for him.
