Can you deliver Eddie Hearn? The challenges of doing Gervonta Davis vs. Shakur Stevenson

WBC light champion, Shakur Stevenson, won the first struggle for his two struggles with Eddie Hearn out of his way last Saturday, stopping the electrician Josh Padley (15-1, 4 kos) in the ninth round. Now it is up to Hearn to deliver the money struggle to Shakur (23-0, 11 kos) against WBA 135 LB champion Gervonta Davis.

Investment of Hearn

If Eddie cannot deliver the tank struggle for Shakur, it will be interesting to see who is fighting. Shakur has only fought a decent name since he moved to 135, Edwin de los Santos and seemed horrible in this fight. Andy Cruz is the number 1 classified The WBC contestant for Shakur’s belt, and Hearn has been very calm about how to fight with each other. You can guess why. Shakur is more beneficial for money for a battle against the Davis tank than Cuba -born Cuba, which is not yet well known and is not given a strong promotional push for Matchroom.

Built for the exit of tank money

If Hearn let Cruz fight against Stevenson, he probably hit him and ruin his dreams to fight Davis tank. He knows that Shakur is well baptized, and he was so interested in combining him against Joe Cordina last October, Floyd Schofield, and then to the electrician Josh Padley. An opposition pattern is offered to Shakur, and it is clear that Is protected So Hearn can make the tank Davis fight.

Hearn needs Turki Alshikh to interest the tank’s fight against Stevenson because it is impossible without him. It would be too much financial risk because Shakur is not a PPV draw. All purchases would come from Gervonta’s side and their PPV numbers have always been on the bottom of the spectrum, except for their fight against Ryan Garcia.

The title of three Shakur Divisions Earn

-Leuger: Edwin de los Santos for WBC Belt 135-B
-Super Featherweight: Jamel Herring for 130 LB WBO title
-Heavy: Joet Gonzalez, winning 126 lb Wbo strap

A star is manufactured

The three wins of the World Title of the Stevenson Division have been against a little opposition, which devalues ​​their belts. The World Champion status of three Shakur Divisions would mean more if he surpassed high -level fighters, but the three that he has been beaten are not boys at level A. This is the same as we saw of Adrien Broner, who goes Win four World Division titles overcoming minor fighters. For naive fans born yesterday, all this is Promotional maneuver Made for fighters like Shakur and Broner. How to make a star 101.

“He is 27 years old, at the beginning, is a world champion of three divisions, he is a very talented fighter. He has his background as an amateur and he has fought very well as a professional,” said Dan Rafael a Ring Magazine. Now, it’s about going after bigger and better struggles. Hopefully they can do these coincidences, anything they are against. “

You can launch the world titles of three Shakur divisions as important, as it is not special enough to win these belts.

“Obviously, he spoke after the struggle that Tank Davis wants. He is in the same schedule as Shakur. The tank fights in a few days (against Lamong Roach this Saturday, March 1 in Brooklyn, New York). Obviously, it would be a huge struggle.

“Shakur against the tank is the biggest and most prominent struggle you can do right now among American champions. I think with the money available through the Saudis, any struggle can happen.

“Remember, it did not spend too much time when Canelo Alvarez said,” No, thank you. I’m not interested in doing anything with the Saudis. Did you do your thing and guess what? Now, he has a four -fights agreement with Turki, and he is fighting in one of his letters in May (against IBF Super Medium Champion, William Scull), a September struggle planned against Terence Crawford and two further fights by 2026. .

“In boxing, it is usually the money and if the money is there, I’m sure you can gather Gervonta Davis and Shakur Stevenson together. If there is money, some struggle can be made,” said Rafael.
