Also, the American wants to meet Jemaine Ortiz if the fight with the Ukrainian cannot be held in the near future.
Former featherweight and super featherweight champion Shakur Stevenson wants to fight next fight against ex-world champion in three divisions Vasily Lomachenko. If the duel cannot be arranged soon, Shakur is ready to fight with Jemaine Ortiz.
“If I get a chance, I want to fight Lomachenko next time, he is clearly not finished yet. He is clearly not an old abandoned fighter.”
“I don’t want to wait another year. I don’t know how old he was, 36 or 37. He will age in another year. I would prefer not to wait. I wish he was fresh while he just fought Dev so he can face me now.
“If he insists that he needs another interim fight, I am definitely ready to smoke Jermain Ortiz because I will beat the crap out of him. He himself does not understand what he is talking about. I would like to put him in his place.”
Previously, Stevenson said that Lomachenko should have become the undisputed champion following the fight with Haney. Shakur challenged Devin to a fight and also expressed his desire to fight Vasily.
Lomachenko lost to Haney by unanimous decision – 112:116, 113:115, 113:115. The sports community spoke out about the unfair decision of the judiciary.
After the fight, Egis Klimas, Lomachenko’s manager, sent out letters to the WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO asking him to appoint the Ukrainian as the mandatory contender for the lightweight belts held by Haney.
