The former world champion in two categories, American Shakur Stevenson (19-0, 9 KOs), after he lost all three primary options with the next opponent, is inclined to fight against compatriot Jemaine Ortiz (16-1-1, 8 KOs). ), whom the bulk of the public recognized in October of the outgoing year by a worthy fight with the Ukrainian Vasily Lomachenko.
Shakur has no doubt that Ortiz will definitely accept his challenge, but Jemaine will not be able to resist as desperately as the Ukrainian.
“Jamaine Ortiz is on the list,” Stevenon said. I know him personally and he won’t say no. He’s not afraid of anyone.”
“He boxed well with Lomachenko,” recalls Shakur, “and in the first six rounds he was hot. And then, in the second half of the battle, it began to fade. But I don’t want to take anything away from him and I know that he will give a tough fight to anyone. He’s a big lightweight.”
“The public will like our fight with him, just on the basis of how he boxed with Lomachenko,” the American is sure. But Lomachenko is older, he is slowly losing. I’m like a young killer, and if we meet, the fight will be completely different.
By the way, recently Ortiz said that only he can beat Stevenson, while Shakur himself admitted that after Lomachenko he wants to fight Tank.
