let's make the fight happen I'm tired of tweeting I'm tired of talking about it stop ducking me and let's make the fight happen I want to fight you javante tank Davis let's make the fight happened hence Mayweather has always had the belief that javant was ducking Shakur because of his fear of Shakur's boxing skills however with his latest comments Floyd Mayweather just proved that he has nothing against Shakur Stevenson after Shakur recently signed to become a matchroom boxing promotions fighter man I'm tired of tweeting I'm tired of talking about it Floyd Mayweather and Oscar De La Hoya tried wooing him into joining Mayweather promotions and Golden Boy promotions respectively but Shakur Stevenson eventually shunned the two fighters and chose Eddie Hearn Shakur Stevenson is now officially part of the matchroom boxing team a press release from matchroom boxing and social media posts confirmed that the lightweight champion has signed with them it did not specify the length of the deal however the first fight of this partnership is official on the undercard of the Undisputed light heavyweight clash between Ur BBV and Dimitri bival Stevenson faced Joe Cordina I know how good this kid is he may be unbeatable I know he's a pound-for-pound star I am ready to start this next chapter of my career and it begins on October 12th with Joe Cordina on the Stacked Riad season card in Saudi Arabia said Stevenson in the press release I've made it clear that I want the biggest names and the biggest fights in the sport bring on William AA at the top of 2025 and I'm ready for anyone who is brave enough to step in the ring with me there have been few willing to take on that challenge in recent years there's something about Shakur Stevenson's mentality that with match room and Riad season I am teaming up with a promotional force that matches my worldclass talent we will be unstoppable in and out of the ring and I will continue to show my dominance for many years to come in the sport of boxing gives me confidence that he beat everybody I think he's been massively undersold I am delighted to welcome what I believe is a pound-for-pound great to the matchroom team said Eddie Hearn cor Stevenson is 27 and already a three Division World Champion and might be unbeatable in the sport of boxing I think he should be not just an American Superstar but a global Superstar this young man should be a global Superstar and I believe with our machine behind him he will land all the big fights and receive all the credit that he deserves the Journey Begins on October 12th in Riad on a huge card and we cannot wait for the future together after the recent official news of Stevenson signing with matchroom its promoter Eddie Hearn discusses his plans for Stevenson while also touching on his ideas for jiren Enis and others I think he's edgy I think he's bsy on signing Shakur Stevenson he said I feel like I promoted Shakur Stevenson for years really because I've talked about him for years I know my boxing and I know how good this kid is he may be unbeatable I know he's a pound-for-pound star there's something about Shakur Stevenson's mentality that gives me confidence that he beats every Budd I think he's unbelievably talented and I'm going to do everything I can to give him the platform he continued I think he's been massively undersold I think he should be not just an American Superstar but a global Superstar I think he's edgy I think he's ballsy I think he's unbelievably talented and I'm going to do everything I can to give him the platform and the promotional push that his ability deserves I know how good this kid is he may be unbeatable I know he's a pound-for-pound star for Shak the plan is this two-fight plan of Joe Cordina and if he's triumphant into the zapa fight and we'll show him during that period our value we'll work together closely dvon Davis everybody I hope these are two fights that lead to the rest of Shakur Stevenson's career with matchroom the platform and the promotional push that his ability deserves on Stevenson's fight with Cordina not getting the greatest reception from fans Hearn said I think this is a really really good fight stylistically this is a a great matchup for Joe Cordina and actually a great matchup for boxing two really skillful Fighters I think it's going to be a brilliant fight and Shakur is a big favorite going into the fight but Joe coming off the back of the kakachi loss having the extra weight at lightweight as well it's a proper fight not being funny the last gezer that Shakur Stevenson boxed Joe would beat him easily and probably the ones before that so Joe's a serious Fighter for me what we do is we go Joe Cordina William zapa javant Davis for me once we've done our work over that six-month period dvon Davis versus Shakur Stevenson will be the biggest fight in boxing but we make our own moves we're not chasing tank we're chasing greatness but that comes with tank because he's an unbelievable fighter Stevenson began his professional boxing career in April 2017 after signing with top rank all 22 of his bouts have been with the American promotional outfit with them he won World titles at featherweight super featherweight and lightweight the last fight of his top ranked Deal saw him win a unanimous decision against ardam harutunian this year since then the lightweight champion has been in talks with matchroom but the two have just made things official from what he said in the press release Stevenson is looking to fight zapa in 2025 at present however such a fight is far from official additional details regarding the promotional deal between Stevenson and matchroom boxing will be revealed at a press conference during the last week of August in Los [Music] Angeles the Floyd Mayweather Junior exhibition Road show is set to recommence on Saturday night as he rematches John Gotti theii 14 months on from their last controversial meeting in Florida 181 181 ahead of their scrap Mayweather has made some surprise comments regarding Mexico given all that has occurred during the buildup Mayweather has made a second career out of fighting and exhibition since hanging up the gloves taking part in seven boxing events since hanging up the gloves in 2017 ironically remaining more active than some current fighters in champions in the [Music] sport however this weekend's opponent may be the most meaningful of all his post-professional dance Partners after what went down when the duo last stepped into the ring together after bossing the early exchanges Mayweather saw his contest against Gotti waved off by the referee due to excessive trash talking from both parties although it was the brawl that followed shortly afterwards that made head lines as the teams of both men collided in the ring in one of the most viral moments of boxing in 2023 Mayweather this time around Mayweather has been taunted by fans who chanted for Canelo Alvarez during the open workout over a decade since be outpointed the national superstar in Las Vegas at the press conference Gotti III made it clear that he believed himself to be the home fighter in the Mexico City [Music] rematch all of the preparation is done we did all of the work I am ready to fight I am excited to be here I am blessed to be here from the minute that we landed we have been blessed with open arms everywhere that we have been restaurants and in the street all of the hardworking Mexicans have pledged their loyalty to the Gottis and king Gotti also Floyd honored his word he gave me the rematch they didn't have to could have moved on and did his thing and and I appreciate that Gotti also added Floyd honored his word and gave me the rematch he didn't have to he could have moved on and did his thing and I appreciate that we're going to put on a good show we're going to fight it's going to be exciting I know what to expect I felt Floyd's punches I've seen him move he still got it at 47 years old and mentally for a year I've been preparing for that style we have to get in the trenches here and fight there is no other way if he has to get knocked out if I have to get knocked out so be it it has to happen whatever is going to happen is going to happen the fight we had in Florida you know that was my first time on a on a stage that big against Floyd yet to the surprise of many Mayweather seemed unbothered by the chanting or by the support for Gotti instead paying his respects to the proud boxing history of Mexico as well as to Jose sulaman the former president of the WBC who passed away in 2014 the country of Mexico the boxing pedigree in the whole country since I have been a little kid has been truly truly unbelievable so many Legendary Champions so many legendary Fighters but the WBC is by far the best boxing organization in the world of boxing Jose sulaman was a great great guy my prayers go out to Mauricio sulaman and all of his family the boxing pedigree in the whole country since I've been a little kid he then continued I want to say thank you to my team in the Gottis let's go out there and put on a show one thing about me is that I've heard it all I've been around the world and competed against the best when you talk about the Olympics I've competed against the best whether it was the world champion in the Olympics or professionally the pedigree of Mexico boxing is truly unbelievable you talk about the legendary Julio Cesar Chavez my uncle Roger Mayweather fought him twice he came up short but he fought him twice it is always about competing and going up against the best so Saturday it is what it is I've already faced the best has been truly truly unbelievable closing his speech he said I'm happy to be here and to come out here and display my talent so on Saturday it is what it is I'm Floyd Mayweather I have already faced the best I'm here and I'm here to show up and show out and do what I do I'm a fighter until the day that I die the rematch of Mayweather Gotti 3 takes place this Saturday at Arena cdmx in Mexico City and tops an impressive pay-per-view card that can be purchased to watch live on dazin your response was in that gym that day you said tank is a different Beast oh he is that that was your response oh he is that let but as for his next fight Davis claims he is certainly not scared of the high-profile names so it's no surprise to hear the recent rumors about him potentially fighting Shakur Stevenson While most expect a very even fight Davis's team doesn't believe that will be the case tanks trainer Kenny Ellis recently spoke about the potential fight and is adamant that Davis has something that Stevenson simply doesn't Plan B I ain't getting no success with Plan B either plan C oh [ __ ] power they can't be 50 50 if tank can punch and Shakur can't punch let's say tank is behind and he's got to get himself out of trouble and that mother f kinghammer is going to get him out of trouble now let's say Shakur's behind and he's got to get himself out of trouble how's he going to get himself out of trouble he doesn't have a hammer via cigar talk on YouTube Ellis does concede that Stevenson can box and has great IQ but he claims Davis does too Tank's trump card is his incredible power which Stevenson simply doesn't have or hasn't shown it to this point so far doubt that that that man Mr javante tank Davis is gonna fight oh yeah Ellis ended up taking it a step further really laying into Stevenson and giving him no chance tank is faster he's bigger he's stronger he's smarter hard he ain't got nothing on tank if it goes 12 rounds I'm walking away from boxing Shakur Stevenson however will defend His World Boxing Council lightweight World title against Joe Cordina on October 12th in Riyad Saudi Arabia as part of the main event featuring Ur BBV versus Dimitri bival don't do don't do that cuz he not gonna let you fight tank whoa whoa whoa see you see in a mocking attempt to make fun of the fight dant Davis's co-trainer Kenny Ellis tweeted on Instagram saying get your tickets now as soon as Stevenson learned of the comment he took to social media to respond to Ellis posting a screenshot of Ellis's daughter's seven three record and teasingly saying seon at the rate coach Kenny Ellis stay focused Stevenson expressed his belief that three defeats in 10 fights are too many is not going let Bill Kenny you contradicting yourself Bill Shakur is trying to rise to fame and prepare for a potential matchup with tank Davis his stock has fallen as a result of his recent poor performances against artam harut yunion and Edwin Deo Santos thus he wants to boost his popularity due to a recent eighth round knockout loss to Anthony kakachi on May 18th Shakur will not benefit in any way from defeating the 32-year-old former ibf super featherweight Champion Cordina boxing fans have already harshly criticized Shakur for selecting Cordina for several reasons why why does bud leave him whatever level of dominance Shakur achieves over Cordina it will never compare to that of kkat who is all over him in that fight punching and beating the live Daylights out of him Shakur doesn't fight in that manner and he will probably use boxing to win in 12 rounds since Cordina hits too hard Shakur can't risk battling the way Anthony kakachi did he lacks bravery Shakur is too risk averse to fight in that manner while kakach took some heavy hits in that fight in exchange for knocking down Cordina in the eighth that's cool why cuz he couldn't make the big fights so why why yall able to make the big fights Stevenson who is 22-0 and has 10 Knockouts will try to win the title for the second time last month he successfully defended it via a unanimous decision over artam harutunian coming off his first career defeat Cordina lost the international boxing Federation super featherweight World title to Anthony kkat via technical knockout in the eighth round in May I was more surprised like I said he he went in there he jumped on me just like he knew he would but I was just sleeping as for dvon Davis after vas lomachenko canceled on him it's been said that he would take on Shakur Stevenson instead although there are several conditions that must be met before we witness the pair come together in the ring the fight between dant Davis and Shakur Stevenson pits two world champions with extremely different approaches to boxing against each other it is without doubt one of the highest level fights to be made in the sport back and forth but they grown man they know if they want to fight or not you know what I mean all that back and forth [ __ ] tank Davis has knocked out all but two men who stepped through the ropes with him often giving away rounds early in order to close the distance and unleash when the time comes Stevenson does not give away rounds in fact he makes it his business to win comfortably without taking much back at all according to comp box opponents land on him on average just five three times per round Ain with that [ __ ] it is what it is you know Davis holds the world boxing Association lightweight World title and Stevenson the world boxing Council so the fact that it's a unification makes it all the more intriguing when the latter split from Top Rank after a long promotional deal fans thought there would be no obstacles in the way of making the bout happen while Stevenson hasn't announced his next business move he has been pictured with Riad season's turkey Alik who is fast becoming the most influential man in the the sport and will likely end up on his next event perhaps through Eddie hearn's matchroom there no but us I mean listen like I tell people before as Fighters those two you know going at it throwing you know they want to however in an interview with mil city boxing tanks co-trainer Kenny Ellis said linking up with the man from Saudi Arabia makes the fight less likely for Shakur turkey Alik is more like protective custody because Shakur doesn't need him to make that fight and if he does go with him he is not going to fight tank so it's like PBC for real you know my opinion asked for the details as to why the fight wouldn't happen especially given alal shik expressing that he is Keen to work with tank is um until recently he was the second best lightweight Ellis wouldn't elaborate I don't want to go all into it that's just a way out man I wish Shakur the best with his next move if he should fight tank next year or this year whenever they fight I hope he's still undefeated keep the value of the fight I believe we would still fight him if he loses but is it still the same but I just put um D Mason in the second I bumped him down in third that's very big congratulations Stevenson is expected to return later this year with former super featherweight world champion Joe Cordina now the front runner to take the opposite corner Davis's next dance partner is unknown but he could be back in the ring in November and that's all for now for the very best updates on news moments events and actions in the world of boxing stay connected with us by subscribing
