Shakur Stevenson has been out of the ring since October 2021

Shakur Stevenson has long been hailed as one of the greatest prospects in all of boxing. The American captured silver at the 2016 Olympics and moved over into professional boxing the following year.

He quickly began to deliver on high expectations as he captured the WBO Featherweight Championship in only his thirteenth fight. He soon moved up to super featherweight and earned the interim WBO Championship following a unanimous decision win over Jeremiah Nakathila.

The win set him up for a showdown with Jamel Herring. 'Semper Fi' was seen as the biggest challenge of his career as he was coming off a knockout win over Carl Frampton just a few months prior. Despite the hype, Herring, too, got dominated by Stevenson and lost via 10th round TKO.

Stevenson now holds the WBO Super Featherweight Title and has the chance to secure his second belt on April 30th against Oscar Valdez.
