Tank demands

Hearn described Shakur (22-0, 10 KOs) as a “A great fighter“And he’s open to putting the Gervonta Davis fight where the ‘best chance’ is a clash. It’s going to take a lot of money to get Tank Davis to agree to fight Stevenson because he won’t want to face the track star unless he’s paid $100 million,” he said.

This could mean that the fight will be on Amazon Prime PPV. However, it’s too early to start talking about a tanking Shakur fight because Shakur may be coming down the line against young Lion Schofield (18-0, 12 KOs) on February 22 in his fight on the Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol 2 card in Riyadh.

If Stevenson wins that fight, he still has to beat lightweight contender William Zepeda (32-0, 27 KOs), and it won’t be easy. With Zepeda’s large size, body punch, and ability to cut corners against challengers, he will get to Stevenson, no matter how much movement he uses.

Shakur doesn’t have the energy or work rate to match Zepeda. If Stevenson, the New Jersey native, runs all night like he did against Edwin De Los Santos, Jeremiah Nakathelia, and Joet Gonzales, his stock will drop ever further.

Even if Shakur is victorious against Zepeda, it will be viewed as a defeat by fans because He will be yelled atThe boxing world will witness the fight over Dazin. I predict 2025 will end badly for Stevenson, with his feuding reputation ruining Hearn’s best plans, making him a laughing stock and a rewarding bodyweight.

Hearn’s plan

“Shakur Stevenson’s plan is Schofield, Zepeda, Gervonta. This is 2025, and that fight will be one of the biggest fights in the world because Gervonta Davis is a great fighter, and so is Shakur. He’s just a great fighter. Let’s get there first. And where he is, that’s where the best lies.” A chance to fight, said Eddie Hearn sean_zittel: “That’s how it should work.”
