LIFIID SCHOFIELD disease forces Shakur Stevenson in the last moment to replace

Floid Schofield pulled his fight against VBC light Champion Shakur Stevenson on Saturday night in Riyadh. Schofield (18-0, 12 Kos) is ill, and Stevens team quickly seeks replacement.

I was afraid of that. When Shakur was chosen by Schofield based on his ability to think about the social media garbage, he overlooked the experience factor. Floyd was never on a large stage and it was stupid to put an unproven fighter under the spotlight in a high pressure situation when he never fought at this level.

Last-minute scramble

Stevenson (22-0, 10 KOS) will remain on the card, but the two replacement opponents are considered more satisfactory. Toward RingThese are two:

-Moussa Gholam (22-1, 13 Kos)
– Josh Padley (15-0, 4 Kos)

The two, Padley has a better resume. He recently defeated Mark Chamberlain 10-round unanimous decision 21. September at Vembley Stadium in London.

If Shakur and his promoter, Eddie Hearn, choose one of these two fighters as a replacement, Turki Alalshikh needs to fight at the top of the event away from the main card. Putting him on YouTube would be nice gesture because boxing fans will not be angry with shakur fighting another fighter that has no job in the ring.

Shakur did not fight the great opposition during his professional career, especially the topping in a light department in 2023. It is difficult to understand him seriously when he says he deserves the fight against Gervonta Davis and is one of the best fighters in sports. Shakur’s weak resume does not bear that

“I’m ready to catch a moment. I’m focused. I put a great training and that’s my time,” Shakur Stevenson said Top Rank Boxing At today’s major arrivals in Riyadh for his fight on Saturday night.

“I’m ready to show the world I’m a superstar. I think I’m one of the best fighters in the boxing. February,” Stevenson said, praised himself.
