VIDEO: Mike Tyson Gave the Ultimate Compliment to Shakur Stevenson

Shakur Stevenson is one of the top-notch young guns of the modern boxing era. In the past few years, the young gun has seen a steep rise in his career and he only got better with time. But tonight, the prodigy will face his ultimate boxing test by facing the established icon, and WBO super-featherweight champ, Jamel Herring.

A lot of fans consider Stevenson as an underdog for this fight, as Herring holds some sound experience compared to him. However, many fans and purists are backing the young force to win this fight, and move ahead to have a stellar career ahead.

‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ Mike Tyson pinned himself on that list who feels ‘Fearless’ will have a successful stint.

Earlier, this year, ‘Fearless’ appeared on the Hotboxin podcast. Here, the heavyweight icon had some words of encouragement for Stevenson.

He said, “I think you’ll be very successful.” 

“Thank you. That means a lot, coming from you.” Stevenson responded.

Stevenson, until now, has kept a supremely active boxing stint. He has 16 fights under the belt, and he’s won all of them. Moreover, 8 of his wins arrived via T/KO.

The New Jersey native adapts an aggressive fight style, and he likes going toe to toe with his opponents. Furthermore, Stevenson begins his assault right from the first bell, thus putting his adversaries on the back foot. This strategy has worked wonders for him and ‘Fearless’ only looks to capitalize on the same.

Jamel Herring vs Shakur Stevenson – What to expect?

The champ Herring will have an advantage of his lanky super-featherweight frame in this fight. However, Stevenson might look for body shots first to break into ‘Semper Fi’s defense.

Moreover, the pair might engage in a sublime exchange of punches in the first few rounds itself.

This is because both of them will look for big openings in the fight, and the one who initiates it might have an advantage. It’ll be interesting to see how things go ahead in this encounter.
