Shakur Stevenson Set to Make Statement in July 6 Return
Shakur Stevenson, the WBC lightweight champion, is set to return to the ring on July 6th at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. After facing criticism for his uneventful victory last November, Stevenson is determined to prove his worth and silence his doubters.
In his last bout, Stevenson's strategic prowess led him to victory over Edwin De Los Santos, but the lack of action in the fight drew boos from the crowd. Despite his defensive brilliance, Stevenson received backlash for his performance. However, he remains confident in his abilities, declaring himself as the best fighter in boxing.
Following discussions with mentors like Terence 'Bud' Crawford and Andre Ward, Stevenson is approaching his upcoming bout with renewed vigor. He aims to showcase his skills and secure a string of high-profile fights in the future.
Stevenson's return date and venue were first reported by Dan Rafael on Substack's "Fight Freaks Unite." With his eyes set on bigger challenges, Stevenson is determined to make a statement in his next fight and continue his ascent in the boxing world.
