Valenzuela targeting Stevenson
Valenzuela has made no secret of his desire to face Stevenson next.
After the retirement of Terence Crawford, Stevenson is widely regarded as the pound-for-pound best boxer America has. That’s why he’s such an appealing target for Valenzuela.
“I can’t help but think about Shakur Stevenson. That’s a guy I’ve always wanted to fight, he’s a hell of a fighter,” Valenzuela told Sky Sports.
“I’d love a fight with him. That’s a fight that really moves me.
“That’s what boxing’s about. Competing with each other,” he continued. “Styles make fights and I think I’m a perfect style for Stevenson.”
