Shakur Stevenson: record, next fight and profile →

Bob Arum does not think it will be a Herculean task to get perhaps the most talented fighter in his promotional stable to take on a rival company’s star draw.
Shakur Stevenson believes he is in a class of his own. The crafty 130-pound southpaw from Newark, New Jersey, does not think that any of his upperclassmen in the talent-rich 135-pound division have a win on their records as impressive as the one he picked up in his most recent ring outing.

LAS VEGAS – Full title unification in the 130-pound division isn’t nearly as important to Bob Arum as it is to Shakur Stevenson. Stevenson’s 90-year-old promoter adamantly dismissed the possibility of Stevenson fighting WBA champ Roger Gutierrez or IBF champ Kenichi Ogawa next during a post-fight interview with BoxingScene.com on Saturday night at MGM Grand. Arum seemed open to Stevenson defending his WBC super featherweight and WBO junior lightweight titles in his next bout, but he wants the talented southpaw to face opponents with more commercial appeal.
