Claressa Shields Comes To The Defence Of Shakur Stevenson

Claressa Shields Comes To The Defence Of Shakur Stevenson

Pound for pound star Shakur Stevenson won again recently but had some critics in the win – not from Claressa Shields however.

Stevenson did the job inside of nine rounds against Padley last weekend and boxed well against a previously unbeaten opponent.

Shields said on X of Stevenson:

“Don’t nothing make y’all happy @ShakurStevenson gets a 9th Rd KO & y’all still crying. Oh he should’ve Ko’d him sooner” I just can’t deal with the fake hate. Listen it’s ok to love Shakur! Great Fight! Who next!?”

Stevenson is a pure boxer and is improving all the time.

Boxing is not just about knockouts, big bombs and trench battles all the time.

Stevenson represents the art of boxing — hitting and not getting hit.
