“Everyone wants a fight”: Stevenson vs Stevenson’s optimistic Haanzepeda summer fight

Eddie Hearn, promoter of WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson, says he is in negotiations with Golden Boy Promotion to host a fight with interim champion William Zepeda over the summer. Hearn said he was optimistic that he could reach the deal. “Everyone wants a fight.”

Focus on the “tank”

Hearn says Stevenson is planning to “treat the tanks” by Zepeda’s collision. It’s the fight that Hahn has been paying attention to since Hahn signed Shakur to the Matchroom Company in August 2024. In fact, I believe that is the only reason why Hearn signed him.

Eddie doesn’t say Stephenson’s plan if the Tank fight fails. Hahn tries to get Ryan Garcia or Devin Haney to fight, but that’s nearly impossible.

There are rumours that Shakur (23-0, 11 Kos) is no longer there after the money he thought he would get from Saudi Arabia for Zepeda (33-0, 27 Kos). He believes he thinks this will be a career-high payday, but that’s not the case.

Zepeda won’t go Accept lowball offers Because for this battle, he does not need Shaquil to have a high-paid battle. He is a must-see fighter that the network loves. He will need to give Zepeda a lowball offer to get the fabric that Shakur wanted to get from Saudi Arabia.

Stevenson complained on social media, saying he was being offered less than he got in defense against Josh Padley. Zepeda is a dangerous battle for Shakur, so if he gets beaten and rolls up for just a small amount, he can lose a lot.

“Everyone wants that.”

“So now, by the WBC, Shakur is ordered by the WBC to fight (interim lightweight champion William) Zepeda. We’re talking to the teams of Eric Gomez, Oscar de la Jolla and Golden Boy. Everyone wants to fight.” Dozen Boxing About the battle between WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson and interim champion William Zepeda.

“It’s the perfect fight for everyone. We’ll get to the deal with Dazen and see if we can have a big fight on our summer schedule. It’s an incredible battle between two great fighters. I think Shakur Stephenson is the best lightweight in the world.
