NEWARK, N.J. — Shakur Stevenson says he has a “chip on his shoulder” going into his fight this Saturday night against Artem Harutyunyan in Newark, New Jersey. He aims to silence critics who consider him dull and lacking courage.
WBC lightweight champion Stevenson (21-0, 10 KOs) is frustrated because fans no longer see him as “that guy” they once believed him to be after his performance against Edwin De Los Santos last November. Shakur, 27, wants to prove his doubters wrong by delivering an impressive show against Harutyunyan (13-1, 7 KOs) in their main event on ESPN at the Prudential Center in Newark on July 6th.
