Shakur Stevenson’s performance has been expected from the day he turned pro. He’s the type of fighter who can reign supreme in the ring for a decade or more. He has a deep understanding of the game that few others have. He’s lightning fast, tremendously well-trained, and unnaturally quiet. Oscar Valdez had little chance against Stevenson in their fight for the WBC and WBO super featherweight titles, which took place in front of a boisterous, frequently loud audience of 10,102 at the MGM Grand Garden on Saturday. Stevenson won a unanimous decision with scores of 118-109 twice and 117-110 the third time, which was even easier for him than the wide cards suggest.
Valdez was dumped in the sixth, and he was able to negate Valdez’s feared power. Valdez entered the fight with a 30-0 record and 23 knockouts, but he barely landed clean punches on Stevenson. Shakur Stevenson is a professional boxer from the United States. In two weight divisions, the WBO Junior Lightweight and the WBO Featherweight, he has won world titles. He represented the United States at the 2016 Summer Olympics, winning a silver medal in the bantamweight event as an amateur.
He is presently a resident of Newark, New Jersey, and was born on June 28, 1997, making him 25 years old. He is the oldest of his mother’s nine children, and some of his possessions are shared with his biological father, who played no role in Shakur’s childhood. Stevenson began his professional career in 2017 when he signed a promotional contract with Top Rank and a contractual agreement with Andre Ward, who became his manager. When Shakur defeated American boxer, Edgar Brito, for the title of his debut fight, he displayed his eccentricity, punching skills, and rapid actions.
Shakur’s debut super featherweight fight was on December 12, 2020, against Toka Khan Clary. He overcame Clary and won the fight by a large margin on the scorecards, with a total score of 100-90 in his favor. Shakur went on to win the WBO junior lightweight championship in Atlanta, Georgia on October 23, 2021.
He’s on a one-man show with a spectacular triumph and tremendous hand speed. Shakur became a two-division world champion with this effort, and he went on to win the technical knockout in the tenth round after being ahead of Herring in all three judges’ judgments.
His net worth is reported to be approximately $3 million, with boxing accounting for the majority of his earnings. He fought with Felix Caraballo, which he won and took home $450,000 in prize money. Shakur’s other earnings include $150,000 from his fight with Joet Gonzalez. His net worth has fluctuated between $3 million and $970,000.
