Shakur Stevenson (24-0, 11 KOs) has said he’s ready to “lock back in” following his win over William Zepeda in July, however it’s unclear who that opponent will be as his opponent options are becoming limited.

Shakur retained his WBC world lightweight championship with a unanimous decision win for his third successful title defense. He had been eying a fight with Teofimo Lopez after the pair exchanged words on social media, with Shakur saying, “send the contract”, however since then Teofimo Lopez has gone silent indicating he may not have been serious about the possibility of facing Stevenson.

Shakur has also wanted to secure a unification fight with Gervonta Davis for some time, but Tank seems to have no interest in that fight, leaving Shakur with just a few options for his next opponent, including Lamont Roach Jr., unless Davis decides to go through with their rematch, or with the 2020 Olympic Gold Medalist and current WBC number 1 ranked Andy Cruz, however that would be a tough fight for Stevenson.
