Shakur Stevenson says he’s not looking past his next opponent, Floyd Schofield, for February 22nd towards the two big fights that Turki Alalashikh and promoter Eddie Hearn have planned for him in 2025 against William Zepeda and Gervonta Davis.

Given what’s at stake in 2025, Shakur doesn’t overlook the 22-year-old Schofield because he knows that if he loses this fight, it will wreck his chances for the Zepeda and Tank bouts next year. Regardless of how great he looks against Floyd Jr., it’s still questionable whether Stevenson will get a chance to fight Gervonta.
Stevenson (22-0, 10 KOs) will defend his WBC lightweight title against challenger Schofield (18-0, 12 KOs) on Turki’s loaded February 22nd card in Riyadh. Interestingly, Shakur’s fight against Schofield is the fifth fight on the undercard, down from four other contests.
Schofield is going to be coming for an upset, looking to knock out the finesse…
