New York-Saturday Night demonstrated Shakur Stevenson (24-0, 11 COs) why he is one of the best in the sport by doing what many people believe he was unable to do, which is on the inside and fights with a volume puncher like William Zepeda (33-1, 27 COs).

With the highest output of any boxer at 92.2 strokes per round, Zepeda’s offense was minimally effective against a defensive genius like Shakur. Although he threw almost a thousand strokes, he landed only 27.8 percent of his blows, one of the lowest connection rates of his career.
Stevenson stood in the fire and survived. He now has eyes on one of the biggest battles in boxing, a show with Gervonta Davis (30-0-1, 28 COs). At the press conference after the fight, Shakur was asked what the next is. He said, “I told you who I want to fight against. I can’t … I can’t keep saying the same, I’ve told you who I want to fight against. The best versus the best. ‘ A fight that can definitely be made with the support of Turki Alalshikh. Money and Promotion -Kicking is no longer a deterrent to why a fight cannot be made. Turki, Shakur and Eddie Hearn all showed interest in fighting.
“Shakur Stevenson against Gervonta Davis is the best battle in boxing. Two young fighters in their excellent, tremendous fighters. He wants to test himself (Shakur) and prove to everyone that he is the best,” Eddie Hearn said of the potential match. Gervonta Davis was to be again on August 16 Lamont Roach again, but the fight was delayed due to Gervonta’s out-of-the-ring issues. He has many options for big fights. If the Roach battle was different, he would prepare for a fight against Jake Paul; They would announce it after Davis Roach, but because of the draw it wasn’t. Davis-Paul can still be made in the future if Gevonta decides to go on that route instead of a Shakur fight.
Turki showed a willingness to work with everyone and everyone. He wants to make the biggest and best battles in boxing. Davis to Shakur would be it, and it seems that the acceptance by Gervonta is already needed to make the fight happen, as all other parties have shown an interest in it. Shakur wants to prove that he is one of the biggest to a box, but he needs a top-level competition to test himself. “My opponent was a hella of an opponent. He came here
and pushed me to another level. He made my adjustments. He made me think a little. I have to show you everything that I’m a dog too. You all say that I am a runner -up, I’m pillow. So I sometimes stood there in the bag and let you all know that I could get busy too, “says Shakur van Zepeda and push him to greatness Gervonta must have the same for his legacy.
The defensive brain defeated one of the best boxers in boxing; Now he wants a shot at one of the boxes’ big ones.
