In the realm of boxing, few names resonate with the promise of the future as strongly as Shakur Stevenson. The unified Featherweight world champion’s rapid rise and undeniable talent have positioned him as one of the hottest prospects in the sport, capturing the attention of both fans and fellow fighters alike.

As anticipation grew for an intriguing clash between Shakur Stevenson and Lightweight champion Devin Haney, the boxing world braced for a potentially explosive showdown. However, the prospects of this eagerly awaited matchup began to unravel as reports surfaced about significant disagreements over purse split. In the uncertainty surrounding his future opponents, Stevenson found himself in the company of a boxing legend – Floyd Mayweather. A video surfaced, capturing a moment where ‘Money’, was seen lacing Stevenson’s gloves, embodying a mentorship role that holds immense value for the young fighter. Moreover, ‘Sugar’ recently revealed what it was like training with ‘TBE’.

Shakur Stevenson’s insight into training with the boxing icon

In a recent interview with FightHype.com, Shakur offers a unique perspective on his experience training with Mayweather. His voice resonates with a blend of admiration and amazement, underscoring the privilege he felt while sharing the ring with a boxing luminary of Mayweather’s stature. Moreover, Stevenson keenly observed Mayweather’s remarkable reflexes and claimed that he helped him reignite forgotten techniques showcasing the timeless wisdom Money imparted.

“It was amazing working with Floyd, you know? It was amazing to see his reflexes still sharp. I was testing his conditioning while we were on the mitts. I kept trying to step to him and work on the inside, just to gauge his condition and see where he’s at right now. But, it was amazing. He was teaching me a lot of stuff that I haven’t been taught before. I’ve been taught certain stuff, but it’s like he reminded me of old things. Stuff that I used to do when I was younger” he said

Stevenson’s unyielding determination to pave his way is further exemplified in his recent training sessions. As he sharpens his skills and hones his craft, he also looks to leave the same legacy as the former champion. Moreover, the undefeated youngster revealed how he could also possibly get paychecks similar to that of the boxing legend.

Shakur Stevenson makes a bold multi-million-dollar prediction

In another interview, Stevenson draws a parallel between himself and Mayweather. In addition, his conviction is unwavering emphasizing his focus on the journey ahead. Refusing to be bound by conventional expectations, he boldly diverges from the belief that Mayweather’s financial achievements are unattainable. He also predicts that he would replicate ‘TBE’s’ financial success with the next few years.

“They say ‘Floyd did that and nobody else would do that again’ and people are so sure. But, Floyd didn’t even know he was gonna do that when he was doing that. Honestly, I just know my path and where I’m going. I’m focused, I’m excited. In a few years I can make 200 to 300 million dollars,” he said

With his sights set on the future and the determination to break barriers, Stevenson’s narrative seamlessly flows from his ambitions to his training regimen. His tenacity, evident in both his words and actions, positions him as a fighter destined to make his mark in the boxing world.
