Shakur Stevenson is one eye-catchy prospect in the super-featherweight landscape. In just a brief span of time, he has made his way to super-stardom coupled with vast fan attention.

The undefeated boxer is all set to make his return to the ring on June 12 against an undisclosed opponent. This bout will be extremely special as it’ll be held on the Puerto Rican Day Parade Weekend.

Mike Coppinger took it to his official Twitter handle and rolled out this news.

He wrote, “Sources: Shakur Stevenson slated to return June 12 on ESPN in New York on Puerto Rican Day Parade Weekend. The rising star has been demanding a tough challenge, so hopefully Top Rank delivers for him as he chases a title at 130 pounds.”

Stevenson last fought in December 2020 against Toka Clary. Being a favorite in this fight, ‘fearless’ stood tall on his fans’ expectations, thus claiming a comfortable unanimous decision win.

With this, he solidified his pro-boxing resume to 15-0. Stevenson not only possesses enthralling power, but he also has an exuberant gas tank to take the fight to distance.

‘Fearless’ is just 23, and he’s accrued fame and attention like a bigwig of his division. He feels he’s ready for a title shot and none of the other fights excite him more than that at the moment.
