RENO, Nevada – Shakur Stevenson couldn’t have been clearer Saturday night about what he wants next.

Facing England’s Josh Warrington would afford the 22-year-old Stevenson an opportunity to become a unified featherweight champion in just his 14th professional fight. That’s the fight, more than any other opportunity, that’ll motivate Stevenson to remain at the featherweight limit of 126 pounds.

If Stevenson (13-0, 7 KOs) can’t secure that fight with Warrington (30-0, 7 KOs), who owns the IBF featherweight title, the newly crowned WBO featherweight champion would like to move up one division. If that’s the path Stevenson takes, he would want to challenge WBC super featherweight champion Miguel Berchelt.

The skilled southpaw made sure to mention boxing Berchelt following his dominant, 12-round points win over Joet Gonzalez on Saturday night at Reno-Sparks Convention Center.

“I don’t know,” Stevenson said. “But if I do move up, I want Berchelt. I want Berchelt!”

Mexico’s Berchelt (36-1, 31 KOs) is scheduled to make the sixth defense of his WBC 130-pound crown Saturday night in Carson, California. Berchelt will face Jason Sosa (23-3-4, 16 KOs), of Camden, New Jersey, in a 12-round main event ESPN will televise from Dignity Health Sports Park.

Bob Arum, whose company promotes Stevenson, wants Stevenson to remain at featherweight, even if they can’t land that fight with Warrington.

“Well,” Arum said, “I want him to fight a couple more fights at featherweight, before he moves up.”

The 2016 Olympic silver medalist has fought at the featherweight limit, or just above it, since making his pro debut in April 2017. He weighed in at exactly 126 pounds Friday for his easy win against Gonzalez (23-1, 14 KOs).

Andre Ward, one of Stevenson’s managers, isn’t sure how much longer the 5-feet-8 Stevenson can make 126 pounds.

“We’ve gotta see, man,” Ward said. “We’ve just gotta talk as a team and we’ve gotta see. He’s getting bigger, though. I can see it. I don’t know how much longer he can be at this weight. But he accomplished his goal. He won a belt here, so right now I kind of agree – if we can’t get a big name, why stay here?”
