Conor Benn vs. Shakur Stevenson: Is it the heavy weight that everyone has been waiting for?

Promoter Eddie Hearn says he is interested in combining Conor Benn against Shakur Stevenson if Conor’s resale with Chris Eubank Jr. does not happen. Shakur’s Light WBC champion said he is open to moving to 147 to face the artist Knockout Benn in Welterweight. It would be from afar the biggest struggle in his career from Shakur.

Stevenson (24-0, 11 kos) has been pushing for a unification game against the Light WBA champion Gervonta Davis. This struggle may not happen at any time because of the recent legal problems of Tank. Benn is a more realistic struggle for Shakur, given his interest in dealing with Welterweight. It could even be a greater struggle for conor than his confrontation against Ebank Jr. earlier this year.

Benn vs. Stevenson: heavy struggle?

“The whole world wants to fight against Conor Benn. You have Shakur Stevenson, Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney and Teophimo Lopez. All called them,” said promoter Eddie Hearn Talksport Boxing. “Conor and Shakur joined. Shakur is a light. It would be like conor by moving two divisions like him. It would be like Shakur doing the same.”

It is safe to scratch Teophimo, Haney and Ryan Garcia off the list of possible opponents near Conor Benn if his resale with Eubank Jr. falls. These will not want to enter the ring with a murderer punch like Benn.

Haney is likely to be eliminated in his next fight against Wbo heavy weight champion Brian Norman Jr., on November 22. Therefore, the last thing he and his father, Bill Haney, want to look at another huge punch. This would cause what is left of Devin’s career.

Ryan Garcia is already incredibly rich now with his Fortune of $ 50 millionAnd it was a shameful loss to Rolando “Rolly” Romero last May. It will make a tough pass in an offer of struggle to face Conor. This would be a dumb struggle for Ryan to take after his defeat against Rolly. To attract Ryan a fight with Conor Benn, you may require a $ 30 million purse. Anything less than this, he would like to do it and be locked up in his new mansion in Los Angeles.

Eddie Hearn: Why don’t Shakur?

“Pound-For-Pound, is a phenomenal fighter, but in Welterweight, Conor feels that he will give him a career for his money. If we fail to get Ebank and decide to get out of the fight, why not Shakur Stevenson later the year?” Hearn said.

Shakur seemed confident when he spoke to Benn during the Ariel Helwani program. However, the only possibility that Stevenson takes this fight is if Turki Alshikh offers him a huge purse to advance in weight to face Conor in 147.

It will not willingly accept the struggle if it is for the same money he obtained for his defense of the title against William Zepeda on Saturday night in Queens, New York. Unlike Zepeda, Benn can hit and have a power of a punch that would make it difficult for life to Shakur inside the ring against him.
