at what weight division will Shakur Stevenson fight at in the pro level...

[El Tejano]

I think he is like 5'6....so maybe featherweight 126 pounds????

Follow the weight:

-He's been fighting at the Olympics at 123lbs (a weight that he can sit and maintain for a full amateur tournament).

-With the professional pressure of only having to make weight once, he'll be able to fight well below his Olympics weight.

-Stevenson is all of 19 years old.

My guess is that, as a pro, he'll settle into fighting at 118lbs (bantamweight) and go up the weight classes as his body fills out, possibly peaking out at 135 when all's said and done.

118 or 122

I think 118 would be good for him right now.

IMO, few fighters started their pro careers at a weight class higher than their amateur fighting weight. so he'll probably a bantamweight first then inevitably move up.
