Boxing Star Shakur Stevenson Shocks Fans with Abrupt Retirement Announcement

Shakur Stevenson shocked the boxing community with a surprise retirement announcement on ‘X’. The 26 years old who competed across three weight classes expressed disillusionment with the sport stating he has other priorities in life. Stevenson, undefeated in 21 bouts with 10 knockouts had recently claimed the WBC world lightweight title by defeating Edwin De Los Santos.

Frustrations over potential matchups and perceived snubs from other boxers such as Vasiliy Lomachenko and the WBO’s decision regarding the lightweight division likely influenced his decision. Despite missed opportunities for high-profile fights against Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia, Stevenson’s departure leaves uncertainties in the division’s future.
