The prospect seems like he�s prepared for top featherweights.
After creating it look simple tonight against Viorel Simion in a first-round stoppage win, Shakur Stevenson created some bold callouts in his post-fight interview with Bernardo Osuna of ESPN.
�Y�all can give me Lee Selby next, I desire,� he said. �I feel I�ve been calling Lee Selby out since forever. I�ll attend England and fight Lee Selby, and when I fight Lee Selby, I�ll fight Josh Warrington, too.�
Stevenson, 21, is making some big challenges here for a guy at his level. He�s 9-0 (5 KO) and has looked good so far, however, the gulf in class between Simion and therefore the likes of Warrington or Selby is fairly big.
Warrington (27-0, 6 KO) holds the IBF featherweight title, that he won from Selby (26-2, 9 KO) in May of this year. Warrington is about to defend against Carl Frampton on Dec 22 in Manchester, thus clearly he�s busy, that Selby isn�t, however, I doubt Selby is next for Stevenson. the kid has a lot of confidence in himself, and he should to, he�s clearly got skills, however, I simply can�t imagine his team going with Selby next, not once Stevenson is thus young then promising. Maybe by the tip of 2019 at the soonest, however certainly not next.
