William Zepeda today told a press conference in New York to want to see if Shakur Stevenson would support his words that from 12. July in Louis Armstrong in Queens. Unoriented Zepeda (33-0, 27 Kos) says Stevenson (23-0, 11 KOS) to resort to box as if he always works, not standing and crawling.
Shakur’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, said he wanted a light ring title to fight Stevenson-Zeped, which defeated the “King of Division”.
“If this man in Great Britain would be an absolute superstar,” Eddie Hearn said during today’s press conference, as he was talking about Shakur Stevenson. “I know the ring belt is free. This belt should be on the Shakur and William Zepe line. You will see why Shakur Stevenson is one of the biggest fighters. It’s two fighters deserving to be king 12. July.
Zepeda: Stand and fight
“I think 12. July will know who William Zepeda is,” Zepeda said. “I don’t care what Eddie says. I hope that Shakur will do what he says he will also fight. Shakur will stand and fight. We have a plan. We will oppose and fight.
“I’m coming to the performance. I come there to put my career’s best performance,” Shakur said. “It can’t do anything differently. He enters to throw as many punches as possible and to get me tired. He will have the best version of Shakur Stevenson.
“I’m not sleeping at William Zepedy. I have to lock and step on him. That’s what I have to do,” Shakur said.
“I want to be known as a Mexican legend,” Zepeda said.
“It can’t be. Of course, I want a tank to fight, but if I don’t cross the zepeda, there’s no tank fight,” Shakur said.
