Shakur Stevenson, the 27-year-old three-weight champion, has made a bold declaration regarding his future in boxing. Currently holding the WBC Lightweight World Title after defeating Edwin De Los Santos for the vacant belt left by Devin Haney, Stevenson is confident as ever. With one successful defense against Artem Harutyunyan, Stevenson’s promotional deal with Top Rank has ended, and he is exploring new opportunities.

Stevenson is eyeing potential bouts with fellow champions Gervonta Davis and Vasiliy Lomachenko, who are currently in talks for a unification fight. Meanwhile, his next opponent remains uncertain. Although Stevenson has called out number one challenger William Zepeda, promoter Oscar De La Hoya insists Stevenson must sign with Golden Boy Promotions to secure the fight.

Another potential opponent for Stevenson is former unified champion George Kambosos Jr., who recently lost to Lomachenko for the vacant IBF belt. Kambosos criticized Stevenson’s latest performance on social media, prompting a heated exchange between the two fighters. Kambosos even wagered $5 million on the outcome of a potential match, to which Stevenson responded with a bold promise: “Me vs You. That s**t will be a massacre. I’ll retire from boxing if I don’t stop you.”

Stevenson’s last stoppage victory was against Shuichiro Yoshino in the sixth round of his first fight at 135lbs. Out of 22 wins, Stevenson has 10 early finishes. Kambosos, on the other hand, has won only one of his last four fights, a controversial victory against Maxi Hughes, framed by two losses to Devin Haney and a defeat to Lomachenko. Kambosos is currently ranked 15th with the WBC.

As Stevenson navigates his next career move, his declaration to retire if he fails to KO Kambosos adds an intense layer of intrigue to the potential matchup.
