Shakur Stevenson on Being Best Boxer in the World, Teofimo Fight, Floyd & Bud Crawford Mentorship

Shakur Stevenson joins 7PM in Brooklyn for a conversation about boxing, discipline, legacy, and why he believes nobody in the sport is on his level. He talks about his win over Teofimo Lopez at Madison Square Garden, whether a fight with Gervonta “Tank” Davis will ever happen, the rivalry with Devin Haney, and how he sees himself in the current boxing landscape. Shakur also opens up about the discipline it takes to prepare at the highest level, what he learned from mentors like Floyd Mayweather, Bud Crawford, and Andre Ward, and why he is already thinking about life after boxing. On top of that, he breaks down the politics of the sport, belt fees, why boxing needs a union, and what has to change for fans to get more of the fights they actually want. #ShakurStevenson #CarmeloAnthony #Boxing #TeofimoLopez #GervontaDavis #DevinHaney #BoxingInterview #7PMInBrooklyn . . .
