Shakur Stevenson stubbornly insists that the fight with William Zepeda will still perform despite his comments on the Turki Alashikh “going up the amount of money he had previously offered him in the past.
The native of New Jersey wants this fight with the undefeated Zepeda, believing that it is easy and will put the table for a unification match against the WBA champion Lightweight Gervonta Davis. The promoter of Matchroom Eddie Hearn translated it with his vision of Zepeda leading to the mega-combat with Tank.
Shakur’s value?
Stevenson says that WBC has “ordered” the fight with Zepeda (33-0, 27 ko), and he will go hand in hand if they cannot conclude an agreement. We expect Shakur to do not reach an agreement with the promoters of Zepeda in Golden Boy because it is priced from the Zepeda fight. If Shakur takes him to a bag offer, he may not like what he finds.
He will discover his true value. Turki will not dive and will not pay Shakur the kind of dough he hopes to get. It would be interesting to know what Stevenson hoped to get for the Zepeda fight. If it is the range of $ 5 to 10 million, it is crazy. He is a Undercard fighter, not a headliner.
Degrees
It will also be a difficult fight for Stevenson, and he could lose against Zepeda. The only way that Shakur can win is to run as he did against Edwin de Los Santos, and if he fights like that, he will be hooked constantly by fans, and his marketing will fall further than she is still.
WBC Champion Lightweight Shakur claims that the Saudis are trying to “Take advantage of me” offering “Much less” that he obtained for his last defense of the title against Josh Padley on February 22.
“The fight is controlled by WBC. I am still champion and I do not withdraw anything. If we cannot conclude an agreement, then the scholarship is the case. See you soon,” said Shakur Stevenson on X He is convinced that his fight with compulsory WBC William Zepeda will always perform.
“I would cook the guy so much that he is a gap,” said Shakur about his hoped for Zepeda.
According to rumors, Shakur was very well paid by Turki for the fight against the electrician Padley and looked horrible, fighting to mark a ninth round against the light replacement opponent. After this dull performance of Shakur, who could blame the Saudis if they do not offer him the same money as before?
There is no market for a boring fighter like Shakur on PPV, and Zepeda has his own problems with his consecutive consecutive victories on Tevin Farmer. The way Stevenson is fighting, it belongs to the preliminary cards because he does not entertain. Boxing is part of the entertainment industry, and he is a horror with the way he fights.
Negotiating unit
“I want this fight so much that these guys want to take advantage of me by giving me much less than I have [Josh] Padley just because they know how much I want! Shakur said about his claims that Turki Alashikh had promised him a sum of money for Zepeda’s fight in the past and is now “Let’s go back to this issue.“”
“Oh yeah, and I’m not finished negotiating because one thing to the other is that I am the champion. So if the fight is made with these people [the Saudis] Or not, I walk on guy [William Zepeda]But the fight will be done then !!!!
“Oscar Delahoya, keep your line open. Let’s take this fight,” said Stevenson.
