Shakur will fight his next fight on July 6 against Harutyunyan
WBC Lightweight Champion Shakur Stevenson commented on the possible holding of a fight against the IBF and IBO lightweight champion Vasily Lomachenko and WBA belt holder Gervonta “Tank” Davis.
“I know my time will come. “Tank” Davis has nowhere else to go but fight me. We’ll have to fight him eventually, I’m looking forward to that opportunity. But now I’m focused on the fight with Artem Harutyunyan.”
“Lomachenko? I think that our fight with him should also be next. Honestly, a lot of people don’t know that Lomachenko is one of my favorite fighters. It would be great to share the ring with him. I think he is an amazing fighter and this fight should happen. Although I think that everything depends on Lomachenko himself. His team must take the fight.”
Shakur Stevenson will have his next fight against Artem Arutyunyan on July 6 in New Jersey.
Earlier, promoter Bob Arum said that representatives of Lomachenko and Davis have been negotiating for several weeks about a head-to-head confrontation between the two champions. According to preliminary information, the Lomachenko-Davis fight could take place in November 2024.
On the night of June 16, Gervonta defended his championship title, knocking out compatriot Frank Martin. The 29-year-old boxer remains undefeated, and he won 28 of his thirty victories ahead of schedule.
On May 12, Lomachenko defeated Australian George Kambosos by technical knockout in his last fight. The Ukrainian won the vacant IBF lightweight belt, which was previously vacated by his previous opponent Devin Haney. Vasily also took away the IBO belt, which Kambosos owned.
