Hearn is in a hurry to fight, which would be the final battle of Shakur’s two-fold agreement with match room box. Saturday is Shakur’s first battle on his contract. For Hearn to push so hard for the tank fight to happen next, only one thing can mean: He is not interested in signing Shakur again to a new contract.

Hearn’s Tank Focus

You can only see that he is watching the last two fights from Shakur that he will not beat one of the top fighters at 135. Therefore, there is such a rabbit to fight the tank Davis. The fight must take place before Shakur is exposed. He is not robust enough to fight against the killers at 135 at 135, and he knows it. The way Hearn urgently wants to fight to the Davis battle tank in the second match of Shakur of his duel contract with Matchoom Contract indicates that he also knows it. It’s like, ‘Let me download this lemon Before everyone discovers that it is forged. ‘

Shakur is too fragile to defeat the top fighters in the lightweight section, and he is still unbeaten because he did not fight anyone in 135. He almost lost to Edwin de Los Santos and blamed his poor performance on his hand problems.

Padley is not exactly the type of opponent to set up a mega fight against the ‘Face of Boxing’ Tank Davis. This is the type of man who will match a bad, cunning promoter to a hype work to create the illusion of greatness to move in a cash. This is the old trick if you try to make a flawed fighter look good. You fit them against something much worse, and they look good.

If Hearn wanted to build the tank fight in a right way, he would match Shakur next to one of these fighters:

– Andy Cruz
– Abdullah Mason
– Ernesto Mercado

“Shakur Stevenson, pound-by-pound best fighter in the world, and congratulations to Josh Padley. He will come with (courage), and he will go well, ‘Eddie Hearn told ifl tvAnd the celebration of Josh Padley is selected by him as the substitute to challenge WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson on Saturday night in Riyadh.

“I believe he (Padley) will beat, but good luck to him. He is a good boy of Yorkshire is going to make a nice few pounds, change his life and fight for the (WBC lightweight) world title. He is for that. He doesn’t look himself anywhere.

‘So don’t waste our time, especially when it comes to Shakur Stevenson, because this child is one of the best fighters in boxing. I do not allow anyone to disrupt his career. We handle Saturday night, Then put on the tank. We don’t need these battles. Schofield, tank fights Lamont Roach. We don’t. Tank fights Shakur Stevenson. Shakur, show us how wonderful you are Saturday night. End of the topic, ”says Hearn.
