Could Shakur Stevenson Fight Gervonta Davis Or Emanuel Navarrete & Unify The Lightweight Division In 2025?
As previously alluded to, Shakur Stevenson’s next fight sees him face Floyd Schofield on February 22 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This fight is one of the main attractions, alongside Hamzah Sheeraz‘s maiden world title shot and Daniel Dubois‘ IBF World Heavyweight Title defence.
Depending on what happens on fight night will have a huge bearing on Shakur Stevenson’s career going forward. Having only recently signed with Matchroom Boxing, promoter Eddie Hearn will undoubtedly have huge plans for the three-division world champion going forward in 2025 and beyond.
Some fights that have been mentioned for Shakur are absolutely gigantic ones. One of which is the all-American clash against Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis. Both fighters are unbeaten, and should they both come through their next fights unscathed, that fight could be a real possibility before the end of the year.
However, the William Zepeda fight seems the most likely for Stevenson if he beats Kid Austin on February 22nd. Win against Schofield and Zepeda, then we can get giddy about the potential ‘Tank’ fight, or even the Emanuel Navarrete unification bout before the end of the year.
The best boxing betting sites in the UK will likely favour Shakur Stevenson, no matter who stands in the opposite corner. He is an elite fight and undoubtedly one of the biggest talents in world boxing today.
One thing that cannot be denied is the fact that Stevenson is a modern great and has plenty of options going forward in 2025 and beyond!
