“The American has to negotiate with William Sepeda about fees”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
World Champion Shakur Stevenson (23-0, 11 KO) from the US will go to the ring against the Mexican William Sepedi (33-0, 27 KO), which has a Temporary WBC title. The boxers have to agree on the distribution of the prize fund by May 6, otherwise they will have to participate in promotional auctions.
Stevenson requires 70%, while the seped is ready to give the opponent no more than 55% of the fund. Because of this, the American quarreled with the influential leader of Riyadh Season Turkey Al-Sheikh, who was ready to organize a title battle, but as a result refused.
“Turkey promised me some conditions, but then sent his boys with other documents. Mr. de La Hoya, let’s talk to you. I am still a champion and I am not going to give up fight. It is necessary to negotiate on finances, ”Stevenson said.
The American last went to the ring on February 22 in Riyadh, when he knocked out in the ninth round of British Josh Pedley. Sepeda overcame this year by the decision of most Tevin Farmer from the United States.
