Shakur Stevenson has welcomed a fight against a former rival of Gervonta Davis.
Stevenson is currently planning his next move after defeating Teofimo Lopez at Madison Square Garden in January to win the WBO super-lightweight title.
That victory saw the American become a four-weight world champion, having also previously reigned at featherweight, super featherweight and lightweight in his career.
It’s currently unknown if Stevenson’s next fight will be at 135lbs or 140lbs, but one potential fight could come against a man who has competed in both of those weight classes.
Lamont Roach is the fighter in question, who gained prominence last year after a controversial majority decision draw against Gervonta Davis, with a lot of people believing he had done enough to win that fight.
Stevenson is one of them, after he revealed on the Nightcap Show that he thinks Roach should have beaten Davis, even without the controversy in round nine where ‘Tank’ voluntarily took a knee but no knockdown was scored.
“Yeah, I do [think Roach beat him]. I thought without the knee he won that fight.”
Stevenson also explained his willingness to share the ring with Roach.
“I would love to fight Lamont Roach. Me and Lamont Roach is an amazing fight. The best vs the best.”
Roach’s last fight came in December when he was held to another draw, this time against Isaac Cruz, and he has recently been ordered for a fight against William Zepeda for the vacant WBC lightweight title, which was recently stripped from Stevenson.
