Shakur Stevenson’s next defense of his lightweight world title – his first fight as part of the Matchroom Boxing roster – will no longer be taking place on Oct. 12 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Shakur Stevenson is on a two-fight plan which is targeted at landing a mega-fight with Gervonta “Tank” Davis next year, Eddie Hearn, chairman of Matchroom Boxing and Stevenson’s promoter said
This week, BoxingScene reported that Welsh star Joe Cordina and trainer Tony Sims had amicably parted ways ahead of Cordina’s October 12 clash with Shakur Stevenson.
