RENO, Nevada – Josh Warrington can no longer contend that there’s not a fellow featherweight champion willing to fight him.

A showdown with Warrington is the only bout Shakur Stevenson wants next. The newly crowned WBO 126-pound champion continued calling out Warrington after beating Joet Gonzalez by unanimous decision in their 12-rounder Saturday night at Reno-Sparks Convention Center.

Now that Stevenson has won one of boxing’s four recognized featherweight titles, the Newark, New Jersey, native is more than willing to travel to the United Kingdom to square off against England’s Warrington in a championship unification fight.

“I wanna go straight to Josh Warrington,” Stevenson told a group of reporters right after defeating Gonzalez. “I want that to be my next fight.”

Bob Arum, Stevenson’s promoter, told BoxingScene.com that he’ll begin working immediately with Frank Warren, Warrington’s promoter, to bring that fight to the UK.

“I’m gonna call Frank and see if we can get the O2 Arena and do it over there,” Arum said. “I mean, there’s neutral officials. Lomachenko made a big hit over there with Campbell. The place was packed. The fans are great. I mean, where else am I gonna put [Stevenson], where we’re gonna do 18,000 people? The ring is the same, right?”

Arum referred to three-weight world champion Vasiliy Lomachenko’s 12-round, unanimous-decision defeat of England’s Luke Campbell in their fight for the then-vacant WBC lightweight title August 31 at O2 Arena in London. The card headlined by Lomachenko-Campbell drew a capacity crowd of roughly 18,000 to O2 Arena.

Warrington (30-0, 7 KOs) hails from Leeds, England, where 11 of Warrington’s past 13 fights have been held. He most recently defended his IBF featherweight title by stopping France’s Sofiane Takoucht (35-4-1, 13 KOs) in the second round October 12 at First Direct Arena in Leeds, approximately a three-hour drive from London.

Warren and Warrington complained prior to his optional defense against Takoucht that they couldn’t land title unification fights with Oscar Valdez or Leo Santa Cruz.

Mexico’s Valdez (26-0, 20 KOs) gave up the WBO featherweight title for which Stevenson (13-0, 7 KOs) and Gonzalez (23-1, 14 KOs) fought Saturday night. Valdez will make his 130-pound debut when he meets Mexico’s Andres Gutierrez (38-2-1, 25 KOs) on November 30 at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas.

Santa Cruz (36-1-1, 19 KOs) also vacated his WBA featherweight title. The former three-division champion is set to make his 130-pound debut against Houston’s Miguel Flores (24-2, 12 KOs) on November 23 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Warrington and Warren don’t think a fight with WBC champ Gary Russell Jr. (30-1, 18 KOs) is realistic because of their competing promotional and network affiliations.

Warrington’s fights are televised by BT Sport in the UK and streamed by ESPN+ in the United States.

Russell works with adviser Al Haymon. Showtime has televised each of Russell’s past seven fights.

Without another featherweight champion to fight, Arum is confident Warrington will agree to face Stevenson next.

“I think Warrington will fight him, because it’ll make for a big fight over in England,” Arum said. “Frank is looking for a big fight. His television people in England can do the fight on their pay-per-view channel. And we’ll do it over here in the afternoon on ESPN. It’s perfect, like what we did for Loma. It couldn’t have worked out better.”
