WBC Lightweight Champion Shakur Stevenson announces retirement, potentially due to unfulfilled matches against top contenders Lomachenko and Navarrete.
WPC Lightweight Champion Shakur Stevenson has announced his retirement from boxing at the age of 26 through a post on social media. The former US Olympic silver medallist Stevenson (21-0, 10 KOs), who has also won belts in the featherweight and super featherweight categories, is not giving reasons for his exit from the sport. The announcement led to speculation about whether Stevenson will stay retired or not, considering recent events including Vasily Lomachenko fighting George Kambosos Jr. and Emanuel Navarrete being scheduled to fight Denys Berinchyk.
