"He’s Incredible": Hearn Names the Most Talented Boxer at Matchroom

Matchroom Boxing head Eddie Hearn shared his thoughts on the most talented boxer he has worked with.

“We only recently signed him, but I’d say Shakur Stevenson. I think he’s incredible.

We also have other great pound-for-pound fighters— Jaron Ennis and Jesse Rodriguez. Talent-wise, it might be ‘Boots,’ but I’ll give the edge to Shakur Stevenson,” Hearn said.

Stevenson (22-0, 10 KOs) was previously signed with Bob Arum’s Top Rank, but after his fight with Artem Harutyunyan (12-2, 7 KOs) in July, Shakur declined to extend his contract and joined Matchroom. Arum recently commented on the loss of his star client.

Stevenson was scheduled to face Joe Cordina (17-1, 9 KOs) on October 12, but the fight was canceled due to an injury sustained by the American.
