Shakur Stevenson, the undefeated lightweight king, has recently signed with Matchroom Boxing, marking a significant turning point in his career. In a press release, Stevenson expressed his eagerness to start this new chapter by taking on Joe Cordina on October 12th in Saudi Arabia. This move signifies Stevenson’s quest for the biggest names and fights in the boxing world.
Despite Stevenson’s undeniable talent and impressive record of 22-0, there are certain criticisms that follow him. Some argue that he is a boring fighter, lacking the excitement and flair of action-oriented athletes like Floyd Mayweather or Pernell Whitaker. However, Stevenson’s skills are not to be underestimated, and his signing with Matchroom Boxing opens up opportunities for him to prove his worth in the ring.
Eddie Hearn, the head of Matchroom Boxing, welcomed Stevenson to the team with great enthusiasm. He believes that Stevenson is a pound-for-pound great and has the potential to become a global superstar. With Matchroom’s support, Hearn is confident that Stevenson will secure big fights and receive the recognition he deserves.
Stevenson’s upcoming fight against Joe Cordina on the undercard of the highly anticipated Artur Beterbiev-Dmitry Bivol undisputed light heavyweight title bout in Riyadh presents a significant opportunity for him to showcase his skills. Stevenson is confident that by aligning with Matchroom and Riyadh Season, he will continue to dominate the sport of boxing for years to come.
Stevenson’s decision to join Matchroom Boxing opens up a world of possibilities for his career. With the support of a powerhouse promotional team behind him, he is poised to achieve great success and solidify his position as one of the top fighters in the world.
