Just a few days before the upper radio, the WBC World Championship Lightweight Shakur Stevenson has encountered a bad problem. His expected opponent, Floyd Schofield, did not appear at the press conference 3 days before the match. Floyd Schofield said the boxer had food poisoning.
“From the beginning, I felt that this match was wrong. I was afraid of Floyd Schofield would not play. Everything happened as if his training team tried to make an excuse to withdraw from the match,” Shakur Stevenson shared at the press conference, and implicitly criticized the opponent.
The fact that Floyd Schofield fleeing from this top -notch has caused the organizers to find another fighter instead. Josh Padley will become the confrontation Shakur Stevenson. Both Josh Padley and Floyd Schofield own the winning record table in the professional boxing arena.
However, Padley or Schofield cannot be compared to Shakur Stevenson, a very high -class boxer at Super Featherweight and Lightweight. Shakur Stevenson won the 2016 Rio Olympic Games in the age of 19. That created a springboard for him to go to the professional playground early.
Shakur Stevenson's professional performance is 22 wins (10 no). He used to win the world championship in 3 weight classes Featherweight, Super Featherweight and Lightweight. Stevenson is considered to be talented fighters commensurate with Gervonta Davis, Ryan Garcia or Devin Haney.
