Unbeaten WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson is out of action after undergoing hand surgery. As a result, Stevenson’s scheduled October 12 defense against former champion Joe Cordina is off. That bout was to take place October 12 as the co-feature for the Beterbiev-Bivol clash in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Stevenson said on social media “…unfortunately my hand gave out on me, but [in] 2025 let’s bounce back and take over boxing.”
Now, he is going to be even more feather fisted.
Could be the reason as to why he was feather fisted.
The yawner
They’re saying this means that the Cordina fight is permanently off and when he comes back it’s directly to Zepeda early next year. Works for me.
Injuries happen, sure, but I don’t think of Stevenson when I think “champion”. He needs to fight more often, against much higher caliber of opponents than he has been fighting. He will be fighting again sometime next year, and I for one won’t miss him while he’s gone.
How about feather duster.
he only fights once a year anyway, down side is this may affect his Duran like punching power.
I guess he is still fighting
I hope he fights Zepeda after surgery and he forget the taxi driver Córdina
Man, you guys are brutal. Don’t cut any slack to Stevenson.
