The American lightweight world champion made an unexpected statement on his social network page.
WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson is retiring from his professional career. The American boxer himself announced it on his social network page.
At the same time, the famous boxer did not name a specific reason, only saying that he wanted to be a mentor for young boxers.
“I am officially retiring from boxing. I will be in the gym forever improving my craft and helping the next generation make it big and achieve their dreams. I do not support this weak boxing game,” Stevenson wrote.
I am officially retiring from the sport of boxing. I’m in the gym forever perfecting my craft and helping the next generation to excel and chase their dreams but I’m not fw in this poor boxing game 💪🏾
