Tim Bradley, a former boxer and boxing analyst, has made a bold prediction that WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson will be the one to dethrone the unbeaten WBA champ Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis in a potential unification fight. According to Bradley, Stevenson (21-0, 10 KOs) is more than capable of defeating Davis and doing so with ease. Despite Davis receiving all the praise from fans and the media for his highlight reel knockouts, Stevenson remains unfazed and focused on his ultimate goal of becoming the best in the 135-pound division.
In a recent interview, Bradley expressed his unwavering belief in Stevenson’s abilities, stating, “Shakur don’t need me to give him any wisdom. Shakur is the guy.” He emphasized that Stevenson is fully aware of what needs to be done to achieve his goals and is prepared to face any challenges that come his way. Bradley also pointed out that Stevenson’s lack of attention from fans and media does not deter him from his mission to prove himself as the best in his weight class.
Stevenson’s upcoming title defense against Artem Harutyunyan is crucial for his future as he approaches free agency. Despite his lackluster performance in his last fight against Edwin De Los Santos, Stevenson remains determined to showcase his skills and secure the best opportunities for himself. Bradley believes that Stevenson will be open to offers from major promoters and will choose the one that offers him the most enticing fights, including potential matchups with Davis, Lomachenko, Garcia, and Lopez.
When asked if Shakur Stevenson is the one to defeat Gervonta Davis, Bradley responded confidently, “He beats Tank; he outboxes him very easy with no problem whatsoever.” While acknowledging that Stevenson will need to be more aggressive against Davis than in his previous fights, Bradley is convinced that Stevenson has what it takes to come out on top. With the right strategy and mindset, Stevenson could potentially end Davis’s reign of terror in the lightweight division.
Tim Bradley’s prediction regarding Shakur Stevenson’s future in boxing is bold and optimistic. Stevenson’s unwavering determination and skill set make him a formidable opponent for any fighter in the lightweight division, including top contenders like Gervonta Davis. As Stevenson prepares for his upcoming title defense and evaluates his future options, his focus remains on becoming the best in his weight class and proving his worth in the ring. Only time will tell if Stevenson can live up to the expectations set by Bradley and emerge victorious in potential future matchups against boxing’s elite.
