The boxing world is buzzing as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jake-paul">Jake Paul</a> prepares to face Gervonta Davis on November 14. While the spotlight is on the main event, an unexpected twist has grabbed attention: Shakur Stevenson has confirmed he will be involved in Paul’s camp ahead of the bout.



The upcoming clash is framed as a battle of contrasting styles. Paul, the larger fighter, boasts raw power and size, while Davis is the more experienced WBA lightweight champion, carrying an impressive 30-0-1 record with 28 knockouts.



Paul recently shared details about his training strategy, emphasizing speed over power. “We have world champions, Raymond Ford at 130 lbs, Montana Love, and Shakur Stevenson coming in this week. So, just sparring against guys on their level and people who have been doing this their entire lives. But, we are really focusing on speed, not as much on power,” he said, via TMZ.



<h2>Stevenson’s role confirmed</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shakur-stevenson">Stevenson</a> acknowledged the opportunity, posting on X: “Fire, Get a chance to pick a great business mind brain and help give some game in the process I’m down.”

<h2>How Stevenson’s involvement changes the preparation</h2>



Stevenson’s participation adds both credibility and strategic advantage for Paul. Although Stevenson has been critical of the Paul vs Davis matchup in the past, he seems ready to play a role in shaping the fight’s dynamics. “They be so mad at me every day,” he teased online.

<h2>Davis vs Roach 2 context</h2>



Before this exhibition bout, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/gervonta-davis">Davis</a> was expected to pursue a rematch with Lamont Roach Jr. after their controversial draw earlier this year. Stevenson commented on the situation, telling AK &amp; Barak: “As a business, I understand. I ain’t going to hate on the decision, but as a man, your pride will get in the way.”

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jake-paul">Jake Paul</a> is stepping up his preparation for his highly anticipated bout against Gervonta Davis, and he’s bringing in a surprising ally. The YouTuber-turned-boxer confirmed that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shakur-stevenson">Shakur Stevenson</a>, one of boxing’s most technically gifted fighters, will join his camp for sparring sessions ahead of the November 14 fight.



Paul, who has built a polarizing but successful career in the ring, is aware that Davis represents a different level of danger. To face that challenge, he’s adding high-level training partners — including Raymond Ford and Montana Love — to help fine-tune his timing and defensive skills.



Despite his confidence, Paul admits the pressure is unlike anything he has faced before. “Internally, I’m the most scared going into a fight that I’ve actually ever been,” he confessed to TMZ Sports. “Being vulnerable for a second, this is crazy. This is scary. It’s kind of keeping me up at night.”



<h2>Can Paul’s strategy against Davis actually work?</h2>



According to Paul, fear is now a motivator. He revealed he’s shedding muscle to gain speed, aiming to match <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/gervonta-davis">Davis</a>’s explosiveness. “The plan is to walk Tank into a knockout like I’ve done with other opponents,” he said, emphasizing that his training camp is centered on agility and counterpunching rather than power.

The fight will take place November 14 at Kaseya Center in Miami, where Paul will look to silence his critics once again. “I’m going to prove a lot of people wrong,” he declared. Whether Stevenson’s technical influence will be enough remains one of the most intriguing questions heading into the bout.

The long-speculated bout between <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/gervonta-davis">Gervonta Davis</a> and Shakur Stevenson continues to capture the imagination of boxing fans worldwide. While the two lightweight stars have yet to share the ring, the possibility of a showdown seems closer than ever amid recent developments in the division.



Davis, who has made a name for himself with highlight-reel knockouts and electrifying performances, appeared vulnerable in his most recent outing. Meanwhile, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shakur-stevenson">Stevenson</a> delivered what many are calling the most complete performance of his career. With both men holding titles and momentum, the debate over who would emerge victorious has intensified—and now, one of boxing’s most iconic voices has weighed in.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/oscar-de-la-hoya">Oscar De La Hoya</a>, speaking to Ring Champs with Ak &amp; Barak, shared his bold prediction for the hypothetical clash, and he didn’t hold back. “They’re different styles obviously. Shakur fights more on his back foot and fights tall. Throws one, two punches. Tank takes more risk. He goes forward more and has more power. I’m going to pick Tank by brutal knockout.” 



De La Hoya’s take is notable, especially given Stevenson’s reputation as one of the sport’s most technically sound defensive fighters. But the promoter believes that Davis’ aggressive style and punching power would ultimately be too much.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="572" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250730_BUS_451175_Oscar-de-la-Hoya-1-1024x572_04a1b30b.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=572" alt="Oscar De La Hoya" class="wp-image-341533" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/21141848/Oscar-de-la-Hoya-1-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/21141848/Oscar-de-la-Hoya-1-300x168.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/21141848/Oscar-de-la-Hoya-1-768x429.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/21141848/Oscar-de-la-Hoya-1-1536x858.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/21141848/Oscar-de-la-Hoya-1-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/21141848/Oscar-de-la-Hoya-1-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/21141848/Oscar-de-la-Hoya-1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Oscar De La Hoya, former world champion and boxing promoter, weighs in on a potential showdown between Gervonta Davis and Shakur Stevenson, predicting a brutal knockout outcome.

<h2>Which fighter’s style has the edge?</h2>



Stevenson’s tall, technical, back-foot approach frustrates opponents with distance control and precision. Davis, in contrast, pushes forward with explosive power and unrelenting aggression. Oscar’s pick implies Davis’s power could overwhelm Stevenson — especially if he lands clean.

<h2>What’s next in potential Davis vs. Stevenson fight?</h2>



No fight has been confirmed — but speculation is mounting. De La Hoya’s prediction adds to the pressure to make the bout happen. As boxing fans wait, the hype continues to build around what could become one of the defining fights of the lightweight division.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shakur-stevenson">Shakur Stevenson</a>, the talented world champion in three weight divisions, has revealed his desire to seek advice from boxing legend&nbsp;Floyd Mayweather Jr., recognizing the need for crucial guidance to navigate the next phase of his career.



Stevenson, who has risen rapidly in the boxing world, sees Mayweather not only as a role model but also as an invaluable source of knowledge, particularly when it comes to injury management and longevity in the sport.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/floyd-mayweather">Floyd Mayweather Jr.</a>, known as&nbsp;“Money,”&nbsp;left an indelible mark on professional boxing, retiring undefeated with a&nbsp;50-0 record. His career was defined by victories against legends such as&nbsp;Oscar De La Hoya,&nbsp;Manny Pacquiao,&nbsp;Canelo Alvarez, and&nbsp;Miguel Cotto, cementing his status as one of the greatest boxers of all time.



After retiring in 2017, Mayweather has dedicated himself to promoting fighters through his company,&nbsp;Mayweather Promotions, working with talents like&nbsp;Gervonta Davis. Now, his experience and expertise are being sought by Shakur Stevenson, who faces challenges similar to those Mayweather overcame during his storied career.

<h2>Stevenson seeks solutions for injuries and longevity</h2>



In an interview with&nbsp;Seconds Out, Shakur Stevenson expressed his intention to reach out to Floyd Mayweather Jr. for advice on managing hand injuries, a topic Mayweather has extensive experience with.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/boxing/foyd-mayweather-sets-final-condition-to-face-jake-paul-in-a-boxing-match"></div>


“Yeah, I had a conversation with him a long time ago, but I think we need to revisit the conversation. Not only revisit it, but I need to get more detail, more in-depth about everything that he did with his hands that helped him prevail through all the issues he had to deal with coming up,”&nbsp;Stevenson explained.



Stevenson’s concern for his hands is crucial to his career, as injuries in this area can be devastating for a boxer. “I’m definitely gonna call him, probably when I get back and settle down a little bit more. But I’m gonna call him and ask him exactly what he did, what I need to do, how do I help myself, how do I save my career,”&nbsp;Stevenson said.



<h2>The value of Mayweather’s experience</h2>



Shakur Stevenson’s decision to seek advice from Floyd Mayweather Jr. highlights the importance of mentorship and the value of experience in boxing. Mayweather, with his vast knowledge and proven track record, can offer Stevenson unique insights into managing injuries, maintaining longevity, and achieving sustained success in the sport.

Anticipation for a potential showdown between&nbsp;Terence Crawford&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/canelo-alvarez">Canelo Alvarez</a>&nbsp;continues to grow, with much of the debate centered on Crawford’s ability to carry his power up to&nbsp;168 pounds. 



Crawford, who has been calling out Canelo since his undisputed welterweight victory over&nbsp;Errol Spence Jr.&nbsp;in 2023, took a step toward that goal by moving up to&nbsp;154 pounds&nbsp;and defeating&nbsp;Israil Madrimov&nbsp;last year. However, that decision victory raised questions about whether Crawford’s power remains as impactful in higher weight classes.



Facing Canelo, a fighter who has never been knocked down or stopped, at 168 pounds poses a monumental challenge for Crawford.&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shakur-stevenson">Shakur Stevenson</a>, Crawford’s training partner and friend, has weighed in on the issue, warning that Canelo should be cautious, as he has witnessed Crawford&nbsp;“hurt heavyweights.”



<h2>Shakur Stevenson on Crawford’s power</h2>



In an interview with&nbsp;The Ring Magazine, Stevenson emphasized Crawford’s power, noting that it goes beyond just his right hand.&nbsp;“How does Canelo handle the power of Bud? It ain’t just the right [hand]. I get [he has a great chin], but when Bud hits him, is he just gonna walk forward and take the punches? I just don’t know. I done seen Bud hurt heavyweights,”&nbsp;Stevenson said.

Stevenson, a three-division world champion, revealed that he has always believed Crawford has the tools to defeat Canelo, particularly because of his style.&nbsp;“I just feel as though with Canelo’s style – and this was before [Dmitry] Bivol did it – I thought Terence Crawford was the only guy who could beat Canelo with his style.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/boxing/former-heavyweight-champion-makes-surprising-prediction-on-canelo-alvarez-vs-terence-crawford-fight"></div>


<h2>Crawford: The southpaw advantage</h2>



Stevenson also highlighted <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/terence-crawford">Crawford’s</a> southpaw stance as a potential key factor in the matchup. Crawford’s ability to adapt and his ring intelligence could prove decisive against Canelo.&nbsp;“Bud is a southpaw. I think that’s underestimated about the fight. It makes it harder for Canelo. I think Canelo has some type of trouble with southpaws,”&nbsp;Stevenson added.



<h2>Expectation and uncertainty in the boxing world</h2>



Stevenson’s warning about Crawford’s power adds an extra layer of intrigue to what could be a historic fight. The question remains: Can Crawford carry his power and skill up to 168 pounds and overcome Canelo, or will the Mexican superstar’s experience and power prevail? The answer will be revealed this September in&nbsp;Las Vegas, where the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing">boxing</a> world will be watching closely.

Terence Crawford, a master of adaptation, faces the ultimate challenge of his career as he moves up two weight divisions to take on Canelo Alvarez. Despite his impeccable track record, many view him as the underdog in this fight. However, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shakur-stevenson">Shakur Stevenson</a>, his close friend and confidant, firmly believes Crawford has the tools to defeat Canelo with relative ease.



The highly anticipated matchup, scheduled for September 13 in Las Vegas, has sparked intense debate about Crawford’s chances. While Canelo prepares for his upcoming bout against William Scull, Crawford remains laser-focused on his preparation for the September showdown. In a recent interview, Stevenson dismissed Canelo’s abilities, confidently stating that Crawford holds the key to a decisive victory.



“Beat[s] him easy,”&nbsp;Stevenson declared, summarizing his prediction in three words during an appearance on the&nbsp;All The Smoke Fight&nbsp;podcast. He downplayed the threat posed by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing">Canelo</a>, emphasizing Crawford’s superior skills.



When pressed for details on the strategy, Stevenson pointed to Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s victory over Canelo as a blueprint for success.&nbsp;“For me, it’s a blueprint already. Floyd was a lot smaller than Canelo when he fought him. You keep Canelo on the outside. I ain’t gonna say too much, but you keep him on the outside and make it an easy night,”&nbsp;Stevenson explained.

<h2>Crawford’s aspiration for legendary status</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/terence-crawford">Terence Crawford’s</a> recent performance against Israil Madrimov at junior middleweight has raised questions about his ability to compete at super middleweight. While Crawford outpointed Madrimov, his performance was not considered dominant. Vergil Ortiz Jr.’s recent victory over Madrimov has further fueled the debate over Crawford’s chances against Canelo.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/boxing/lamont-roachs-bold-10-word-challenge-to-gervonta-davis-ahead-of-showdown"></div>


Despite the skepticism, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/terence-crawford-leaves-no-doubt-about-his-place-in-boxing-history-with-a-win-over-canelo-alvarez">Crawford remains focused on achieving greatness</a>. He sees the fight against Canelo as an opportunity to cement his legacy as one of the best in boxing history.&nbsp;“I would definitely rank top 5,”&nbsp;Crawford told Naji from&nbsp;Cigar Talk, showing his ambition to achieve immortality.



<h2>Is Stevenson overconfident in Crawford?</h2>



As Crawford prepares for the fight, Stevenson’s bold predictions stand in stark contrast to the widespread doubts surrounding Crawford’s chances. Stevenson’s unwavering confidence adds an intriguing layer to the buildup for the September clash. Only time will tell if Stevenson’s prediction holds true or if Crawford will face a tougher reality than anticipated.

The boxing world is eager to witness a showdown between two of the brightest stars in the lightweight division: <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/gervonta-davis">Gervonta “Tank” Davis</a> and Shakur Stevenson. Both world champions have had each other in their sights for years, yet a fight between them has yet to materialize. While negotiations and circumstances have kept them apart, an authoritative voice has weighed in on the potential matchup—Terence Crawford, widely regarded as one of the best pound-for-pound boxers today.



Davis currently holds the WBA title, while Stevenson reigns as the WBC champion. Davis is set to return to the ring on March 1 against Lamont Roach Jr. in New York, while <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shakur-stevenson">Shakur Stevenson</a> will defend his title against Josh Padley this weekend in Riyadh. With both fighters at the peak of their careers, a clash between them would be a defining moment in boxing, a stylistic battle that could shape the legacy of the lightweight division.



In an interview on the Cigar Talk Podcast, Crawford voiced his support for Stevenson in a hypothetical showdown against Davis. He emphasized that his stance is based purely on boxing analysis, not personal bias, citing Stevenson’s intelligence and technical skills as the key factors that would give him the edge over Davis’ power.



<h2>Crawford’s prediction: Davis vs. Stevenson</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/terence-crawford">Terence Crawford</a> acknowledged Davis’ explosiveness and knockout ability but expressed confidence that Stevenson possesses the tools to neutralize those strengths, particularly through his ability to control the pace and distance of a fight.

“I got Shakur,” Crawford said. “Like I said, I respect Tank. In boxing, he’s one of the ones. We gonna take his personality and personal things out of it. Boxing-wise, he’s definitely talented, he’s definitely respected, but Shakur’s a different fighter. Shakur’s different, you know.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/boxing/roy-jones-jr-issues-warning-to-gervonta-davis-about-a-dangerous-new-rival-in-the-lightweight-division"></div>


Crawford also addressed the criticism Stevenson often faces for being a defensive fighter without a high knockout rate. “People may call him boring, people may say he can’t punch, but they said the same thing about Floyd because they’re defensive fighters,” Crawford argued. He added that Davis would struggle to land clean shots on Stevenson as easily as he has against past opponents.



“Tank is not going to be able to hit Shakur like he hit everybody else, and he knows that,” Crawford stated, reinforcing the idea that Stevenson’s defensive mastery and counterpunching ability would make him an extremely difficult challenge for Davis.



<h2>The future of Davis vs. Stevenson: Will it happen?</h2>



Boxing is currently experiencing a golden era of high-profile matchups, and a Davis vs. Stevenson fight seems more possible than ever. However, one potential roadblock looms—Davis recently announced his intention to retire later this year, casting doubt on whether the fight will materialize.



Despite this uncertainty, fans remain hopeful that the matchup will take place before Davis steps away from the sport. The prospect of two elite champions facing off in their prime is too enticing to ignore, and if the right decisions are made, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing">boxing</a> world could soon witness one of the most anticipated fights in recent memory.

<h2>Tim Bradley breaks down Valdez vs Stevenson and says upset could happen</h2>

The retired Desert Storm took the time to analyze what can happen in this clash of undefeated fighters at 130 pounds, where he opts not to pay attention to the odds.
“Valdez has 10 championship fights, Stevenson has four. He has experience over Shakur and you can’t buy experience. If Shakur comes in too safe and I don’t think he does, but if he does because he wants to give a spectacular performance. That’s in his mind, ‘I want to become a star.’ He can get caught.“, said Bradley to Fight Hub TV.

“Oscar can set him up while allowing him to hit him. ‘Hit me’and then he can connect from anywhere. That left hook is very good, accurate, on point and does damage. We don’t know how Shakur is going to react. We know how Oscar will. This guy fought with a broken jaw for 10 rounds, but we don’t know how Shakur will react.“, said the former Super lightweight and Welterweight titlist.

This makes him an authoritative voice and a great mentor for those who can learn from him, such as Oscar Valdez, his stablemate, who will clash with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/canelo-Alvarez-on-target-shakur-stevenson-said-what-would-happen-if-he-fights-him-20220315-0031.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shakur Stevenson</a> on April 30, in one of the most anticipated fights of 2022.
The MGM Grand Garden Arena will not miss the thousands of high-quality fights it has hosted when Valdez and Stevenson trade blows in its ring. These are <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/boxing-all-current-world-champions-in-the-17-divisions-of-the-4-top-organizations-20211215-0041.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">two undefeated World Champions</a>, at a great age to display their best boxing and, moreover, with a latent animosity that will make their fight even more heated.

The Mexican superstar made this clear by revealing what advice he gave Oscar Valdez so he can come out on top in his tough fight against Shakur Stevenson on April 30 in Las Vegas.
“It’s gonna be a difficult fight for both fighters… So, I say, ‘Oscar, this fight is gonna be different. You need to keep focus and win the fight, not to put on a show for the people. Because (Shakur)a really good, skilled fighter, moves around. So, if you go forward, he’s gonna do his fight. You’re gonna (fight) his fight“, revealed Alvarez during one of the media day he usually has prior to his fights.
Almost all oddsmakers have <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-bob-arum-predicts-oscar-valdez-vs-shakur-stevenson-can-resemble-this-thrilling-boxing-trilogy-20220309-0032.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oscar Valdez below Shakur Stevenson</a>, who is five years younger and has 13 fewer fights. However, Canelo Alvarez will be betting on an upset:“I’m surprised about that because Oscar can do many things in the ring. He always try to, ‘Oh, I’m gonna put on a show for the people and go forward and try to [go] in and out and take punches and throw punches…But Oscar have a lot of experience, have a really good training camp, so it’s gonna be a really good fight.“

As a recapitulation, the year started with fantastic clashes, such as Julio Cesar Martinez vs RomanChocolatitoGonzalez, Josh Taylor vs Jack Catterall, Keith Thurman vs Mario Barrios, Claressa Shields vs Ema Kozin, and Amir Khan vs Kell Brook.
However, with due respect,the second trimester of 2022, April, May, and June, has the potential to become one of the best of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-eddie-hearn-brutal-reason-to-want-to-represent-gervonta-davis-rather-than-ryan-garcia-20220614-0039.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boxing</a> in years, given that the scheduled fights include not only top boxers but also world titles. Fasten your belts, the best is yet to come.
<h2>Which boxers are starring in the main events of the upcoming boxing fights?</h2>
It could be almost impossible to have a better lineup in a boxing schedule. Amazing prospects, fierce contenders, consolidated champions, and many of the best Pound for Pound fighters: all of them will step in the ring from April to June 2022.

A Lightweight prospect, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/ryan-garcia-out-of-the-shot-for-a-world-title-devin-haney-reveals-lapidary-reason-not-to-face-him-20220609-0015.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ryan Garcia</a>, comes back to action after a long pause with the intention to become a serious contender in one of the current most competitive weight classes.

Although, on April 30,the Fearless(17-0-0, 11 KOs) has a huge challengeto overcome to start thinking on bigger leagues: <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-oscar-valdez-emotional-confession-ahead-of-his-upcoming-fight-against-shakur-stevenson-20220312-0022.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oscar Valdez</a> in a unification fight.

Between Valdez (30-0-0, 23 KOs) and Stevenson, bad blood can be felt. They do not like each other, and, fortunately for boxing fans, they are also young, skilled, and successful, which can turn their fight into a real war. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-bob-arum-predicts-oscar-valdez-vs-shakur-stevenson-can-resemble-this-thrilling-boxing-trilogy-20220309-0032.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bob Arum has compared the fight with the classic trilogy Erik Morales and Marco Barrera </a>starred at the peak of their careers.
<h2>Shakur Stevenson vs Canelo Alvarez: who would win this fight?</h2>
Oscar Valdez is one of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-kamaru-usman-could-beat-canelo-alvarez-the-ufc-champion-manager-says-how-20220312-0016.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canelo Alvarez’s</a> stable mates. They train together usually as social media has proven along these years. It is obvious that Valdez takes advantage of being close tothe Pound for Pound king and asks him for advice to succeed. However, this does not worry Shakur Stevenson as he might not considerAlvarez as the fighter everybody says he is.
“It’s cool that he (Oscar Valdez) hasgot Canelo there, but Canelo can get in the ring to fight for him, and even if he could I feel like, if me and Canelo were at the same weight, I feel like I would beat him” shared a very confident Shakur Stevenson for Fight Hub TV.
There is a very specific reason that makes Shakur thinks that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-the-ukrainian-boxer-who-opposes-the-fight-between-canelo-alvarez-and-dmitry-bivol-20220309-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canelo Alvarez</a> will not be a problem in the ring for him: “I am a great boxer. I saw what Floyd did to him. I feel like Floyd picked him apart, and I feel like me personally I would do the same“.

Boxing: Canelo Alvarez on target? Shakur Stevenson said what would happen if he fights him - Bolavip US

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-bob-arum-predicts-oscar-valdez-vs-shakur-stevenson-can-resemble-this-thrilling-boxing-trilogy-20220309-0032.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oscar Valdez vs Shakur Stevenson</a> is a true dream come true for<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/offside/rocky-the-real-boxers-that-acted-in-the-boxing-saga-of-films-20220311-0040.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> boxing fans</a>. There are many reasons why this fight was expected and it will finally take place on April 30 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Being part of one of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/the-top-25-greatest-boxing-matches-of-all-time-20210416-0020.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the biggest showdowns</a> of 2022 might have excited the Mexican warrior, who has made an emotional confession about the big problem he faced in his last fight.
One of the main reasons that turn Valdez vs Stevenson into a must-watch fight is the style of both fighters. Even though Oscar has been training his defense with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-canelo-alvarez-unbeatable-abel-sanchez-points-out-3-fighters-that-could-defeat-him-20220310-0023.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canelo Alvarez’s</a> coach, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-oscar-de-la-hoya-justifies-ryan-garcia-decision-to-split-from-eddy-reynoso-and-canelo-team-20220226-0029.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eddy Reynoso</a>, he only is him when he assaults his rivals. On the other side, Shakur does not walk away from any trouble cause he trusts in his boxing IQ to solve anything.
Both fighters are <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/boxing-all-current-world-champions-in-the-17-divisions-of-the-4-top-organizations-20211215-0041.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">current World Super featherweight Champions</a> at a very proper age to show their best physical and boxing skills. Also, they are undefeated (30-0-0 vs 17-0-0) and two-division World Champions, and maybe, the most important of all reasons to expect this bout,they do not like each other.
<h2>Oscar Valdez opens his heart ahead of his upcoming fight against Shakur Stevenson</h2>
Valdez was in the eye of the storm on his last fight. He defeated Brazilian contender Robson Conceicao with a very controversial UD on September 2021. Four weeks beforethis clash, he was involved in<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/Winter-Olympics-2022-Is-Russia-competing-in-Beijing-20220205-0026.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> a doping scandal</a> after testing positive for Phentermine, a banned substance for the VADA, in both his A and B samples.
When it was expected that Oscar Valdez was sanctioned and dropped off of what was going to be the first defense of his WBC 130 pounds World title, his license application was approved thanks tolegal loopholes that allowed him to fight.
Despite the Mexican fighter continues claiming his innocence his pride and reputation were tarnished after this dark episode of his boxing career:”I was affected [by] the comments of people calling me a cheater, who said that I’m using something that’s prohibited. That’s not the case. I’ve always worked hard. I’ve always been a clean fighter. And the fact that they were pointing me out, without saying the facts, without saying what this substance was, that it was a clear mistake. And it never should’ve come up positive because different rules for organizations call it different.”, stated in an interview for Boxing Scene.
“And the fact that I was called a cheater broke my heart, broke me down. I was a kid once who looked up to all these great fighters. And when I would hear stories about fighters using banned substances, PEDs, it would change my mind completely about fighters. So, the fact that was happening to me, that they were saying I was cheating in the sport of boxing, which I would never do, it brought me down. I really lost focus because I worked so hard my whole career, and to be criticized for that one thing, which shouldn’t be considered a banned substance, it just brought me down.”, added Oscar Valdez.

<h2>The reason why Oscar Valdez claims his innocence</h2>
<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-shakur-stevenson-heats-his-possible-super-featherweight-unification-fight-against-oscar-valdez-20220120-0024.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shakur Stevenson</a> loves to make fun of everybody on social media. He has in mind that Valdez had the above-mentioneddoping trouble, and has used it to attack him: “He got caught cheating, so he’s just gotta deal with everything that come with it. VADA’s about to make sure that they test him a lot more. We’re just trying to make sure he don’t cheat or nothing like that.”, sharedthe FearlesstoBoxing Scene.

</div>
Nevertheless, Oscar Valdez continues pointing out every time he can that he is a clean fighter. Here is his argument according to the aforementioned media: “If people were to look at the details or educate themselves to what this really was, they would realize, ‘Oh, it’s not a banned substance,’ … It’s not something that’s actually helping me in any way. It’s not a performance-enhancing drug is what I’m trying to say. It’s more of a diuretic. The only difference was this banned substance was if this banned substance would’ve come up 24 hours before the weigh-in, it would’ve been positive for the WADA. But through the VADA, if you’re on vacation or training camp, it doesn’t matter when, it’s prohibited. So, the only thing it would help with was losing weight, which didn’t make sense for me using that because it was three weeks away from the weigh-in.”

April 2022 will be a real treat for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-the-ukrainian-boxer-who-opposes-the-fight-between-canelo-alvarez-and-dmitry-bivol-20220309-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boxing</a> fans. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-oscar-de-la-hoya-justifies-ryan-garcia-decision-to-split-from-eddy-reynoso-and-canelo-team-20220226-0029.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ryan Garcia</a>, Errol Spence vs Yordenis Ugas, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-tyson-fury-controversial-request-for-his-fight-with-dillian-whyte-20220309-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte</a>, Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano, and one of the most anticipated bouts: the Super featherweight division unification fight between Oscar Valdez and Shakur Stevenson. Expectations are so high that Bob Arum, the promoter of the clash, mentions that it could be similar to one of the most successful trilogies in recent boxing history.
In addition to putting <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/boxing-all-current-world-champions-in-the-17-divisions-of-the-4-top-organizations-20211215-0041.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the WBC and WBA Super featherweight World titles</a> on the table, Valdez vs Stevenson will see two real trains collide. On the one hand, the 31-year-old Mexican (30-0-0, 23 KOs) is a two-division World Champion, having already won the WBO featherweight title.
On the other hand, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-shakur-stevenson-heats-his-possible-super-featherweight-unification-fight-against-oscar-valdez-20220120-0024.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shakur Stevenson is also a two-division World Champion</a> at just 24 years of age. Like his April 30 opponent at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, Shakur is undefeated and has a record of 17-0-0 with 9 knockouts so far.
<h2>Bob Arum compares Valdez vs Stevenson to a legendary boxing trilogy</h2>
At 90 years old, Bob Arum can boast of having seen the best of boxing. The longtime promoter is an authoritative voice when it comes to making comparisons, which is why his comparison of the Super featherweight unification fight between Oscar Valdez and Shakur Stevenson to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/the-top-25-greatest-boxing-matches-of-all-time-20210416-0020.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">one of the sport’s bloodiest and most exciting trilogies, like Erik Morales vs Marco Barrera</a>, is a harbinger of an epic bout to come.
“This looks to me a lot like the old MarcoBarrera and ErikMorales fights that we have enjoyed so many years ago. These guys are really terrific fighters. It is gonna be a very exciting fight. These guys have become skills and professionals, they have great corners, and how the fight is going to unfold is hard to predict.“, said Arum to Fight Hub TV Youtube Channel.
The explanation of whyTop Rank’s owner believes Oscar Valdez vs Shakur Stevenson could become a boxing classic like Morales vs Barrera was is the reason both boxers have to make this fight: “Both of these guys are very prideful, and have taken the fight not because they had to, but because they wanted to. Those kinds of fights are very intense and joyful to watch.“
