Shakur Stevenson is arguably one of the most hardworking boxers from the active roster. The 23-year-old has been boxing since he was a child, winning an Olympic silver medal in 2016. While he turned into a professional in the next year, it has been a flamboyant journey for ‘Fearless’ so far. He reflects a 15-0 record as of now and has already held a world title at the 125 lbs division.
