Initiator Eddie Hearn hopes to make Shakur Stevenson with Gervonta Davis. Hearn is not sure what happened to Tank’s recent legal issues in August. He said if he couldn’t do the tank, there would be Andy Cruz with Raymond Muratalla and Abdullah Mason vs. Sam Noakes champions, who could choose Shakur to go ahead.
Hearn still needs to re-sign with Stevenson as his 2-time battle contract with Matchroom ended with his fight last Saturday night with William Zepeda, Queens, New York.
What is Hearn’s plan for Shakur?
“He has two battles. We’re going to talk about it now (about the extension to the match room). Hopefully we can continue this relationship. We’re happy. IFL TV About hope to re-sign Shakur Stevenson after two battle contracts with Matchroom.
Hearn counts on Turki Alalshikh to ship Gervonta Davis to Shakur. This is the only way the battle takes place. Tank Davis will want Turkish-type money, and Hearn will not be able to afford it. Shakur’s two battles against Matchroom are fighting these fighters:
– William Zepeda
– Josh Padley
The two battle deals between Hearn and Shakur are not worth enough due to the battle with Floyd Schofield. If better fighters are used as a replacement, you can say that Hearn’s two combat agreements with Shakur are good for his Matchroom Company.
How does Shakur unify lightweight?
“I think he has to unify the department. In fact, the department is evolving. Sam Noakes is fighting for the Vacant (WBO Lightweight) title for Abdullah Mason. Andy Cruz is fighting with Muratalla for the IBF title. There will be some chances there. He will be hard to beat.”
Hearn may have gone too far for his praise for Stevenson. The battle between Stevenson and William Zepeda last night was one of the toughest fights of Stevenson’s career. Even when he runs, he struggles with Zepeda’s pressure.
If Shakur chooses to fight with the ceiling lights, Andy Cruz, Raymond Muratalla or Abdullah Mason, it would be easy to watch the fight and think he will be a bit tougher for Shakor. Cruz’s strength, speed and technical ability will be Shakur’s nightmare.
When asked if he could see the battle between Shakur and Goldonda Davis, Hearn said, “We don’t know what’s going on now.” “But for me, it’s one of the biggest fights in boxing. It’s two great warriors who represent it.”
Tank Davis still had a rematch with Lamont Roach, which should be held on August 16. However, the battle has not been officially announced and people are questioning whether the battle will happen on that date. If delayed, Shakur would have to go in the other direction for the next battle. He can’t just wait for Davis.
