The junior lightweight sensation is ready for his latest test in Las Vegas on Saturday night
The problem isn't a lack of want to match himself against the best fighters on the planet. For unbeaten Shakur Stevenson, the issue has become more about his opposition's unwillingness to do the same. Stevenson (15-0, 8 KOs), the sensational 23-year-old native of Newark, New Jersey, returns Saturday for what best can be summed up as his third straight stay-busy fight over the last 12 months, largely against anyone willing to step up. Yes, the former WBO featherweight titleholder and 2016 Olympic silver medalist will be competing for the WBO's interim belt at his new weight of 130 pounds, which could put him in line for a shot at full WBO junior lightweight champion (and good friend) Jamel Herring with a win. But Stevenson is fighting anything but a household name when he headlines an ESPN card against unheralded Jeremiah Nakathila (21-1, 17 KOs) at Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas.
