Shakur Stevenson says there is a fight in his contract with Mchroom, and wants that fight against Gervonta Davis, William Zepeda or Lamont Roach. It is not seen well for the promoted Stevenson of Eddie Hearn (23-0, 11 ko) so that any of those opponents in their final fight.
It is likely that Tank and Roach fight against a rematch below. None of them will take a match against Stevenson because there is too much interest from fans to see a second clash between them. The WBC Zepeda Lightweight Interim Champion (32-0, 27 kos) has a rematch against Tevin Farmer on March 29 in Cancun, Mexico. It is still too early to know if he and his promoters in Golden Boy will want to fight Shakur below.
Alternative fights
– Andy Cruz
– Raymond Muratalla
– Abdullah Mason
– Edwin de los Santos
– Joe Cordina
Shakur may have to Take what Hearn can dig up for him, who could be another British fighter like Josh Padley, The guy who only fought. Hearn can produce that type of fighters easily for Shakur, but he would have to be willing to reduce their expectations a bit.
League League?
We know that Hearn has been pressing so that the lightweight champion of the AMB, Tank Davis, fights with Shakur, but that is not happening unless Turki Alalshikh is interested in bringing that fight. I don’t think I do.
WBC Shakur’s lightweight weight champion does not say if he would agree to fight his ‘brother’ Keyshawn Davis or some of the talented contenders such as Andy Cruz, Raymond Muratalla, Abdullah Mason or Edwin de los Santos. The 2016 Olympic silver medalist Stevenson has not mentioned wanting to fight any of those guys in his last fight of his contract because he is looking for the great fish.
“If you stay at age 147, that fight will never happen,” said Shakur Stevenson for Cigaretical talk On a fight between him and Devin Haney never happen if Dev chooses to stay in 147.
Haney (31-0, 15 ko) is never expected to return to the divisions of 140 or 135 pounds at this stage of his career. He is fighting on May 2 against José Ramírez on Turki Alalshikh’s card, and then possibly against Ryan García in a rematch in October. It is not realistic to assume that Haney would fall to the light weight 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 the boxing of the House Room of Eddie Hearn), but it should be (William) Zepeda or Tank. However, I am listening to the fight against another person’s tank, “Shakur said.
“If not, I could even change it and ask for Lamont (Roach). I think that is the fight, ”Shakur continued. “I am very great with Lamont. We have a friendship. I know Lamont for years and years. What he just did (against Gervonta Davis) was incredible to see. He put a great performance, I would love to show that I am also above him. “
Shakur is not saying if hearn will be relocated to another brief contract of three fights, but does not seem likely. He probably expects Turki to offer him a lot of money to join his new league, which he could live to repent if he does.
If Dana White takes the lack of fighters in this new boxing league that fights ‘the best’, Shakur will not work well if that means facing someone good, especially if he implies fighting someone two bigger divisions than him.
Turki likes to make strange matches among the combatants of the division’s weight classes, and can have the idea of putting Shakur with someone like Welter Weight Jaron Ennis, which would be a complete mismatch. Once again, Shakur signing with Turki can be something he regrets if he begins to lose throughout the day.
