In a bold prediction, Derek Chisora foresees a one-sided victory for Shakur Stevenson in a potential welterweight showdown against Conor Benn. But is this the fight fans truly want to see?
After Stevenson's impressive performance against Teofimo Lopez, claiming the WBO super-lightweight title, he's now eyeing a move to welterweight. This decision comes as a surprise to many, as Stevenson had previously expressed his intention to return to the lightweight division for title unification bouts.
However, in a twist, Stevenson called out Benn, who is preparing for a comeback to the welterweight division after a four-year hiatus. Chisora, in an interview with FightHype.com, enthusiastically supports the matchup but predicts a lopsided outcome. He believes Stevenson's southpaw stance and skill will be too much for Benn to handle, stating, 'Your legs need to be in the right place against a southpaw, or you'll get messed up.'
Chisora's prediction raises questions: Is this the fight that excites boxing enthusiasts the most? With Benn aiming for a world title shot against either Mario Barrios or Ryan Garcia, or even WBA champion Rolando Romero, is the Stevenson fight a distraction? And what about Stevenson's lightweight ambitions?
The boxing world is buzzing with speculation, but what's your take on this potential matchup?
