Eddie Hearn’s determined push for Shakur Stevenson vs. Gervonta Davis even when Stevenson seems to grant defeat

Promoter Eddie Hearn has not yet renounced the hopes that Shakur Stevenson will fight against Gervonta Davis. In an interview, the light champion of WBC Shakur (23-0, 11 kos) had the appearance of a fighter who granted a match against the tank will never happen.

A lost cause?

Matchroom promoter, Hearn, had a first giving Shakur a soft opponent, who has done, and then set up a fight against William Zepeda to prepare for Gervonta Davis. However, Zepeda and his Golden Boy promoters have not shown an interest in fighting with Shakur.

As for tank, he has his own problems, treating the mess of Lamont Roach. If this is done, Davis means Vasily Lomachenko, Ryan Garcia and even Jake Paul. Shakur is not on your meal list.

When Gervonta exposed the conditions for Shakur to fight him, saying he needs to face his “brother” Keyshawn Davis, he basically left him and everyone knows that there will never be a struggle between. Shakur got the suggestion, and that’s why he seems defeated now. He realizes now that he was a fool to pursue this mirage for so long without see things as they really are.

Hearn resolution

Eddie does not give up and it is understandable why. The WBA champion champion Davis is the only money struggle for Shakur at the age of 135. If Hearn can’t make this fight, he will have signed Shakur for nothing.

In addition, the way he acted in his fight against his replacing opponent Josh Padley On February 22, he is unable to keep in the WBC belt and the unbeaten record if Hearn throws him with the general population with the murderers at the age of 135

Fights against Padley and Edwin de los Santos showed that Shakur is not good enough to be with any of the contestants with light skill. You have put Stevenson with Andy Cruz, Abdullah Mason, Ernesto Mercado, Raymond Muratalla or Frank Martin, it’s over. But Hearn cannot continue to provide a special treatment to Shakur to keep it sectioned, isolated from predatory sharks.

Shakur Stevenson: “Eddie, I’m not going to lie. I am ready to fight anyone and everyone. “”

Eddie Hearn: “(William) Zepeda will fight you? Obviously, there is the struggle of the tank, that is, this is the struggle. The tanks will really run out of adversaries. “”

“We have a struggle and then some options and we want Shakur to be with us for the rest of his career,” said Eddie Hearn to TV IFLreacting to say -that Shakur Stevenson says that he only struggles in his or her boxing contract in the Matchs room, and wants this struggle to be against Gervonta Davis.

“I think Shakur is the best of 135 pounds. Just because Tank had a bad performance last Saturday, people now say,” Yes, I think Shakur beat Tank “, while before last Saturday,” Oh, you never exceeded the tank. “The boxing is like that.

“It’s (Tanc-Shakur) a great struggle. I really want to make this struggle and I think that in my heart, Shakur Stevenson surpasses Gervonta Davis,” said Hearn.
