Promoter Eddie Hearn is confident that Shakur Stevenson will get the next battle against Gerrvonta Davis if he will overcome against William Zepeda on July 12. Hearn believes that the WBA lightweight champion tank (30-0-1, 28 COs) has no other options in the division other than Shakur. He wants tank and fans to believe that his only option is Shakur, but that is not the reality.
Unused lightweight wealth
As the king of the 135 pound division, Tank has unlimited fighting options. What Hearn is talking about is that Davis has limited options for well -paid battles. However, Tank plans to fight against Jake Paul, which would be a big money fight. There is also the possibility of a re -broadcast with Ryan Garcia, and it is a much bigger struggle than Shakur.
Tank’s true options
– Abdullah Mason
– Raymond Muratalla
– Keyshawn Davis
– William Zepeda
– Vasily Lomachenko: *When he comes back
– Andy Cruz
– Floyd Schofield
– Ryan Garcia
– Tevin Farmer
‘Who else will he (Tank Davis) fight?‘Tell Eddie Hearn to Seconds When asked if he thought that a fight between Gervonta Davis and Shakur Stevenson is realistic. “If he beats Lamont Roach, it’s the only battle for him (tank). But Shakur has to go out and look good against (William) Zepeda, who I believe he will do it, and it’s his chance to back up all the hype. Yes, “Hearn said when asked if Gervonta Roach would beat in the rematch.
Shakur’s limited options
The reality is that Shakur has no options for him to fight to make big money as a tank. For Stevenson to get anywhere in the vicinity of the same kind of money as he could get fighting tank, he will have to move to 147 and fight against Conor Benn. If he stays at 135, his only option is Gervonta, which may not happen.
Stevenson will eventually be beaten if he stays at 135 because he has Andy Cruz on the WBC rankings. Abdullah Mason and Jadier Herrera are also arranged in the top -10. Shakur will eventually have to fight against them, and they are bigger, younger and stronger than him.
