Shakur Stevenson has opened up about the two fighters in the running to be his next opponent.
On July 12, the American produced an impressive display, defeating William Zepeda via unanimous decision.
Even Mike Tyson praised Stevenson’s performance.
Now, attention has firmly switched to whom he may share the ring with next.
Sheesh: Shakur Stevenson dominated one of the toughest fighters in boxing
Shakur Stevenson says he’ll probably fight Lamont Roach Jr., but could face Teofimo Lopez
Shakur Stevenson is likely to spend the rest of the year out of action before returning in early 2026 to face Lamont Roach Jr., who’s just missed out on a Gervonta Davis rematch.
Instead of running things back with the man many thought beat him, ‘Tank’ will instead take on Jake Paul.
However, Roach isn’t the only person in the mix, with Stevenson hopeful that he could still secure a mega fight with Teofimo Lopez.
The 28-year-old tweeted: “Lamont was getting ready for the rematch, so he gone have an in-between fight and then fight me top of the year. But it’s only if Teo doesn’t accept the fight, though.”
Shakur Stevenson got ‘ran out of the ring’ during sparring
While Roach and Lopez would undoubtedly give Stevenson tough tests, he’d likely go in as the favorite.
The gifted athlete is always defensively brilliant on fight night. And that’s because of all the hard work he puts in inside the gym.
However, things don’t always go his way.
Interestingly, a world champion claims he ‘ran’ Stevenson out of the ring during sparring.
