Shakur Stevenson thinks Turki Al-Shiekh will match up with Gervonta ‘The Tank’ David in 2025 once he meets Baltimore There was a big battle between Gervonta Davis. Tanks will be very expensive in this battle. He has said he wants $150 million to fight Ryan Garcia. He’ll likely need a similar amount against a non-involved Stevenson.
Can Al Sheikh deliver on his promise?
Stevenson believes Al-Sheikh will make Tank (30-0, 28 KOs) worth fighting him. The decision will hinder Shakur (22-0, 10 KOs) from winning his next fight next month in Riyadh on February 22 against Floyd Schofield.
Another poor performance from Stevenson could hurt his chances against Davis, as the last thing he wants to face is a runner unwilling to stand and engage.
Shakur is just trying to use his hit-and-run style to win points, assuming the judges give him the decision. He almost lost to Edwin de los Santos, and we saw him get chased and defeated in the ring by Robesy Ramirez at the Olympics.
“He’s a good guy. I’m glad I had the opportunity to meet him. I thank him for giving me this opportunity and now I can show who I am,” Shakur Stevenson said professional boxing fan Regarding Turki Al Sheikh’s inclusion in the squad for the match against Floyd Schofield in Riyadh on February 22.
“Tell him, ‘Don’t run,'” Stevenson said of his message that he hopes Schofield will play next month. “He’ll probably try to look for the knockout early on. Once he realizes he’s not going to get it, then he’ll be in trouble.
“I think it’s going to be a tough fight. I think he (Turkish) is saving the sport of boxing. So once Tank is with him, I think the fight will happen,” Shakur said of his belief that Turki Once Erkie Al-Sheikh meets the Baltimore native, it will be a battle between him and Gervonta Davis.
“He sounds like a businessman. I think he wants to make as much money as possible in the sport of boxing. Good for him.” Shakur on learning Tank wanted $150 million for a rematch with Ryan Garcia said.
Stevenson’s injury concerns
In recent training, WBC lightweight champion Shakur has been using only his left hand, tapping carefully with his surgically repaired right hand.
Once Floyd pressured him in the first round, his fragile-looking right leg looked like it would collapse almost immediately. Stevenson had no choice but to use it to prevent the ambitious Golden Boy from advancing to Schofield.
If he fights the 22-year-old Schofield (18-0, 12 KOs) with just one weapon, he’ll be forced to run all night long to avoid getting knocked down by the youngster’s powerful shots.
