I like the child quite a bit,” stated promoter Bob Arum to Hassan Welliyo on X, speaking about eager to convey Shakur Stevenson again among the many fold at Prime Rank after he assessments the free agent market.
“He’s a free agent now. It’s no totally different than a soccer participant. He completed his contract. He’s a free agent, and he assessments the market. That’s what Shakur is doing. Hopefully, after he assessments the market, he’ll come again to us,” stated Arum.
