Whereas free agent Shakur Stevenson has not but made up his thoughts so far as who he might signal a cope with – be it Eddie Hearn and Matchroom, Oscar De La Hoya, and Golden Boy, or Floyd Mayweather and Mayweather Promotions – the unbeaten southpaw does have his eye on just a few fights, with one, specifically, being a struggle he feels “would convey out the most effective in me.”
Talking with DAZN over the weekend, a beaming Stevenson stated he loves that “everyone is out after me” and is making an attempt to get him to place pen to paper and signal a promotional deal. Stevenson stated he’s solely within the greatest fights, and he listed just a few names: William Zepeda, Gervonta “Tank” Davis, and Vasiliy Lomachenko. The chance of any of those fights getting made will rely primarily on who Shakur indicators up with. Stevenson stated he hasn’t made his thoughts up but, however he appears eager to get it on with Zepeda, a Golden Boy fighter.
“Zepeda is a hell of a fighter,” Shakur stated. “I don’t suppose I’ve ever been within the ring in my skilled profession with a fighter like that. He throws a bunch of punches. He’s nice together with his personal fashion, and a man like that can convey the most effective out of me.”
So, would possibly Stevenson be leaning in the direction of signing with De La Hoya and Golden Boy? Possibly. Certainly, Stevenson, labeled a “boring fighter” by quite a few critics, wouldn’t have been concerned in a uninteresting struggle if he had fought Zepeda. As Stevenson stated, Zepeda “throws a bunch of punches.” This might not change if Zepeda received it on with Shakur.
Stevenson, 22-0(10) might not have thrilled struggle followers in his final couple of fights, however his sheer class and his ability is clear to all. Towards the correct man, a fighter who pushes him exhausting and makes him dig in and struggle, Stevenson might ship us all house pleased. And perhaps William Zepeda, 31-0(27), is the correct man for the light-weight slickster.
Stevenson can anticipate to decide quickly relating to who his subsequent promoter will likely be. It’s time for Shakur to offer the paying followers his greatest stuff, and for that, he wants the correct dance associate (s).
