Shakur Stevenson reveals how he spent his first $1 million earning

While speaking to GQ Sports, Stevenson revealed that he got his first seven-figure paycheck following his victory over Joet Gonzalez for the vacant WBO featherweight championship. The 26-year-old spoke about how he spent money on buying a house for his mom and siblings while spoiling himself with expensive watches and a car. He said:

"The first thing that I did was buy my mother a house, and that was like 550,000. It was a big house; six bedrooms, with a movie room, a little office in the front. It was a nice big house... Next big purchase; I spent like 85K on some jewelry. I really only bought a watch and chain; around 50 or 60 on the Rolex and then like 20 or 30 on the chain."

He added:

"Next will be my Maybach [vehicle]. 150K on a Maybach, man... And the rest [$215,000] went to my family. The rest of that money just went to my everyday spending; and also just making sure my family's straight, my little brothers and sisters. It's seven boys and two girls."
