Benn exclaims Shakur: “Do it next!” – Potential mega-ridding over weight classes

Conor Benn cried out the lightweight belt holder Shakur Stevenson on social media today and asked him if he would like “Do it next.” The former world champion of three divisions and Olympic silver medalist Stevenson in 2016 (23-0, 11 COs) recently expressed interest in fighting him at 154.

Benn (23-1, 14 costs) now challenges Shakur to back up his words and vote to meet him. He does not say whether he wants Newark, New Jersey native, Stevenson to come to battle for the fight or meet him at 147. After rehydrating for his fights at lightweight, he looks like a welter weight in the ring. So, he must be able to fight Conor at 147 fairly easily.

“Do you want to do this next, Shakur Stevenson? Let’s manage it. No cheap talk,‘Say Conor Benn to social mediaCall out the WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson for a fight.

“Tank” Davis next? Or instead?

The unbeaten Shakur has a fight scheduled against William Zepeda in New York on July 12. This is a fight that Stevenson hopes the gate will be to get him a profitable unification against the WBA lightweight champion Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis. It may not be.

If Shakur can’t get the tank fight, he has few options for big pay days at 135. To keep getting good money, he will be expected to fight against someone who wants to see fans fighting. In that case, Conor Benn is possibly the best option of Shakur. He can withdraw Benn to 147 or arrive at a catch of 143 or 144 to give himself a slight disability such as the one that Conor received because he against middleweight Chris Eubank Jr. on April 26.

If Shakur does not take the fight with Benn, he can be trapped to defend his WBC lightweight title against one of these risky contenders:

– Andy Cruz – Ranks #1 with the WBC
– Abdullah Mason
– Raymond Muratalla
– Herrera Cores
– Floyd Schofield

It’s all difficult outs for Shakur because they have strength and or skills. His stock will fall badly if he is afraid of the guys. Stevenson can’t afford it, and he can’t adopt another one Josh Padley-Tik opponent without it that he is ruining his career. It was a stupid move by Shakur to agree to the idea of ​​fighting the electrician Padley in his last fight on February 22. He and his promoter, Eddie Hearn, did not consider the setback to fight a part -time fighter like Padley.
