“Shakur Stevenson agreed to spend a duel against the compatriot Theophimo Lopez”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
Both boxers have successful negotiations with an influential functionar from Saudi Arabia Turkey Al-Sheikh. At the moment, neither the exact date nor the venue of this battle is unknown, but it is assumed that boxers will enter the ring in January next year.
On the eve of Stevenson shocked boxing fans with his plans – he intends to select a WBO belt from Lopez, make it vacant and give it to his friend, Kayson Davis.
We will remind, in February Kayshon knocked out Ukrainian Denis Berinchyk in the duel of light weight and took away the title of WBO, but did not have time to carry out at least one protection. In the summer, the American failed weighing, fought with his opponent and remained without the title of World Champion.
Shakur plans to overcome Theophimo in the category up to 63.5 kg so that his friend Keyshon continue his career in this division. Stevenson will remain in the light category.
