Breaking: The Hoya declares William Zepeda vs. Shakur Stevenson “On”

Oscar de la Hoya has revealed that William Zepeda vs Shakur Stevenson is “where”. At the beginning of today, Golden Boy’s promoter of La Hoya had told Ryan Garcia’s media in the media that the fight between Zepeda (33-0, 27 kos) and the light champion of WBC, Stevenson (23-0, 11 kos), was ending.

The confirmed struggle

It is not clear if Turki played a role in organizing the Zepeda vs struggle. Shakur. If so, it would be he who would choose where and when the struggle would be staged.

Shakur, 27, is achieving his desire, as the fight against Zepeda is now an agreement made. He thinks 100% will defeats Zepeda, who will open the door for a lucrative struggle against Gervonta Davis. Shakur’s promoter Eddie Hearn shares the same belief. There are several problems with this dream vision they have.

1. Victory by Zepeda
2. Shakur’s boring decision
3. Gervonta withdrawing –S

Zepeda has had extensive experience fighting the runners in their last three fights. Therefore, Shakur’s style of struggle will not be new to him, as the code has already cracked twice against Tevin Farmer. This guy is a stronger, more resistant and entertaining version of Shakur.

“We return to the court at the end of an agreement by William Zepeda-Shakur. Look, it’s a struggle we all want to see,” said Oscar de la Hoya to Fight Hub TV At the beginning of today, giving an update to the negotiations between the WBC Lightweight Interim champion, William Zepeda and the 135 LB WBC champion, Shakur Stevenson.

“It is a struggle that has spoken the world of boxing and Shakur has been talking about it. Obviously, William wants the struggle. So this is what will happen.”
