Eddie Hearn once again said that Shakur Stevenson’s three-match plan is in 2025 to run the Gauntlet against Floyd Schofield, William Zepeda and Gervonta Davis.

Tank’s claims
Hearn has Shakur (22-0, 10 COs) as a ‘Wonderful fighter‘And is open to putting the Gevonta Davis struggle where’ the best opportunity ‘is for the collision. It will cost a lot of money to make Tank Davis agree to fight Stevenson because he doesn’t want to face the track star unless he paid $ 100 million, as he said.
This could mean that the fight will be on Amazon Prime PPV. However, it is too early to start talking about a tank-shakur battle, as Shakur can be undone on February 22 against the young Lion Schofield (18-0, 12 COs) in their fight on the bottom map of Artur Betterbiev against Dmitri Bivol 2 in Riyadh.
If Stevenson wins the battle, he still has to beat the number 1 ranking of lightweight William Zepeda (32-0, 27 COs), and it will not be easy. With the high volume of Zepeda, body sponge and the ability to cut the ring against runners, he will come to Stevenson, no matter how much movement he uses.
Shakur does not have the power or work rate to fit Zepeda. If the Newark, New Jersey native, runs Stevenson all night like against Edwin de Los Santos, Jeremiah Nakathilia and Joet Gonzales, his stock will fall lower than ever.
Even if Shakur conquered against Zepeda, it would be seen as a defeat by fans because He would be attackedAnd the boxing world would see the battle on Dazn. I foresee that 2025 ends badly for Stevenson, with his runner reputation ruining Hearn’s best plans, making him a laughing stock and the equivalent of a leper.
Hearn’s plan
“The plan for Shakur Stevenson is Schofield, Zepeda, Gervonta. It’s 2025, and that fight is going to be one of the biggest battles in the world, because Gervonta Davis is an incredible fighter, and so is Shakur. He is just a wonderful fighter. Let’s get there first. And where it is is where the best opportunity for the fight is. That’s how it should work, ”says Eddie Hearn @Sean_Zittel.
