Former two division champion Shakur Stevenson is hunting for big fights in 2023 - and his eyes are firmly set on top names Vasiliy Lomachenko and Gervonta Davis.

Stevenson is now player in the lightweight division after making a jump in weight to pursue a third division title.

In 2022, Stevenson picked up two big wins - with dominant decisions over Oscar Valdez and Robson Conceicao.

Stevenson is currently on the hunt for his next opponent, after several names turned down the opportunity to face him in a final WBC eliminator.

"We already looked for some top guys at lightweight and actually they turned me down already," Stevenson said. "Guys like Isaac Cruz turned me down, that's a top guy that fought 'Tank' [Gervonta Davis]. It's real weird that they would turn down a guy that never fought one fight at 135lbs. It is what it is, we're not tripping.

"I don't have to wait too long. Maybe one fight then fight for the title. I'd fight for the title next if I could. The top people are all busy right now. Devin [Haney] is going to fight [Vasiliy] Lomachenko. 'Tank' has got two fights coming up. So obviously we can't make those fights right now so I'll go for the next available option.

At the moment, Lomachenko is being lined to fight Devin Haney for the undisputed crown.

Win or lose, Haney is likely heading up to junior welterweight in the aftermath of that contest.

Haney's departure will leave four vacant titles - and Stevenson believes that he will face Lomachenko for one of those belts.

"I'll probably fight Lomachenko," Stevenson explained. "That could be after he fights Haney I think that me and him could fight. I know Devin plans on going to 140lbs. I'll probably fight him for a vacant title. After [Lomachenko] I want to fight 'Tank. I want to fight 'Tank,' that's who I would fight after Lomachenko, if I could pick my year."
