Boxer Shakur Stevenson aims to become a triple champion as he faces Edwin De Los Santos Thursday November 16th in the vacant WBC Lightweight title bout. With an impressive 20-0 record and 10 KOs, Shakur is a proven champion, winning a WBO featherweight title, WBO junior lightweight and the WBC 130 pound title and looks to add to his next belt in a Thursday Night Las Vegas bout on ESPN.
Although young in age, Shakur's story starts long ago as he represented USA boxing in the Olympics and felt his first heartbreak as an athlete, a feeling he carries with him today to guide his approach to the sport he loves. He opens up to Ryan, Channing and Fred on how that experience shaped him and something he considers the biggest pivot in his life because it taught him what he never wanted to experience again. Extremely confident and outspoken, Shakur has chosen to allow his work in the ring to do the talking for him and lives by a motto of never backing down from anyone.
Being mentored by some of the sport's greatest to fight, Andre Ward, Bud Crawford and Floyd Mayweather...Shakur has his sights set on becoming a legend and enshrined in boxing history as one of the best to ever do it. Understanding and prioritizing that training is all year round and being disciplined all the time, not just fight time, is one major takeaway Shakur has modeled his career after from his mentors. Having a marketing component is also his edge as he continues to build his super star status in the sport, recently signing a mega deal with Adidas, amassing a large social media following and working with entertainment A-listers Drake and managed by J Prince.
His upcoming championship fight is a defining one, but it's also necessary for Shakur to dominate his opponent in order to attract the bigger name fights of Gervontaa Davis and Devin Haney's of the sport, Shakur is not shy on speaking up that he is ready for these mega fights and believes he is the best fighter in the sport.
As a young father, Shakur talks about how having a daughter has changed him and motivated him even more, pushing him to be a winner but also a good man. Shakur's title bout vs De Los Santos kicks of F1 week in Las Vegas and is set for Thursday November 16, 2023 on ESPN, The Pivot Podcast releases premiere episodes every Tuesday with audio available at 9AMest and streaming on KZbin at 12PMest.

@hugh_jazznuts

That Seahawks/Patriots Superbowl had me feeling the same way.

@tyecharessewhite7831

Y’all doing better than top rank promoting this fight for him 🔥

@kynix3532

One of the few young boxers that can really take the sport to the next level. Just waiting to see him against one of the other top undefeated boxers! Salute to The Pivot for spotlighting this Young Bull!!!!

@_jaynola_

Let’s talk about it…..Ryan’s sweatshirt game is unmatched 🔥🔥🔥

@G4status

Did Ryan Clark just really asked the pivot question after Fred confirmed with him already that Rio was Shakurs biggest pivot??? Two many hits

@ItsAnEndlessWorld

I been saying no one was seeing Shakur at 130 when he was rising now at 135 he got that division on lock. He's a different breed, generational fighter. Can't wait to see him fight this month it's going to be special.

@zsutton6687

This young man seems thoughtful and real, he isnt afraid to be himself. Too often young men in the sports world are afraid to truly show their personality. He isnt afraid to speak on his negative moments as well as his positive moments. Hope to see more young men who aren't afraid to be themselves and media who isnt there to judge them.

@Antdaboxer215

There will be another Floyd , Tyson, Ali , Shakur, tank …these are generationally god gifted

@jesusperez1957
