Eddie Hearn Shoots Down Shakur Stevenson's Retirement Drama
In a classic Eddie Hearn fashion, the Matchroom promoter has bluntly dismissed Shakur Stevenson's supposed retirement announcement, advising him to quit the tantrums and focus on the fight game. Hearn, not one to mince words, labeled Stevenson's situation as ridiculous, questioning why such matters get airtime. The boxing mogul reminded everyone that Stevenson, at 26, is far from retirement and suggested Stevenson should take a break from Twitter and concentrate on his promising career. According to Hearn, Stevenson's complaints about the politics of boxing and sulking on social media won't endear him to fans. Instead, Hearn emphasized that the WBC world champion should be patient, as his time will come. Hearn speculated on potential matchups, highlighting the likelihood of a unification bout between Stevenson and the winner of Navarrete vs. Baranchyk. In essence, Hearn's message to Stevenson is clear: Cut the drama, embrace the opportunities, and let the fans see the top-tier fighter he truly is. #EddieHearn #ShakurStevenson #BoxingDrama #Matchroom #WBCChampion #UnificationFight
