Oscar de la Hoya revealed that William Zepeda is “on” against Shakur Stevenson. The Zepeda-Shakur match will take place on July 12 in New York, benefiting New Jersey native Shakur. It’s a ring magazine card.
It has not yet been confirmed whether Shakur’s struggle with the challenger Zepeda will be the most important event. If buried on the bottom map, it will be surprising. There is too much interest in this struggle to put it below the headline.
Earlier today, the Golden Boy promoter de la Hoya told the media during the Ryan Garcia workout that he was “finalizing” the battle between Zepeda (33-0, 27 COs) and WBC lightweight champion Stevenson (23-0, 11 COs).
On Wednesday night, Shakur posted a big excuse to Turki Alalshikh on X and tried to solve things between them after he said a few things about him in response to his wallet lowered for the Zepeda fight.
Fight confirm
It is unclear whether Turki played a role in line the Zepeda against Shakur match. If so, he would be the one who would choose where and when the fight would be performed.
Shakur, 27, gets his wish, because the fight against Zepeda is now a ready -made agreement. He believes he will defeat 100% Zepeda, which will open the door for him to ensure a profitable fight against Gervonta Davis. Shakur’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, shares the same faith. There are several problems with this dream vision they have.
- Victory for zepeda
- Boring decision by Shakur
- Gervonta steps out
Zepeda had extensive experience in fighting runners in his last three fights. So, Shakur’s fighting style will not be new to him, as he has already cracked the code twice against Tevin Farmer. That man is a stronger, more robust and entertaining version of Shakur.

“It’s a fight that the boxing world talked about, and Shakur talked about it. It is clear that William wants the fight. That’s what’s going to happen. ‘
