Shakur Stevenson may be “unbeatable,” according to Eddie Hearn. The WBC lightweight champion Shakur (22-0, 10 KOs) is eager to join the Matchroom promoter’s stable so he can use his matchmaking skills to make him a star.
If Hearn can work out a deal to sign Shakur, he hasn’t stated with whom he wants to start arranging fights. However, Andy Cruz, the 2020 Olympic gold medallist, is in Shakur’s stable at 135 and is expected to defeat him. Shakur isn’t imagining facing that kind of opposition, and they wouldn’t want to lose the first round of a non-PPV match.
“Shakur Stevenson may be unbeatable. Shakur is brilliant. Sometimes, his style is not all-out aggressive, Arturo Gatti, but guess what? He’s winning these fights, fighting them the way he wants to fight,” said Eddie Hearn to Secondsout.
