Speaking in the post-fight press conference, Stevenson paid homage to his rival’s ‘thump’ after being caught with over 200 shots – the most of any opponent he has faced. Post-fight, he admitted it was ‘too much punishment’ for his liking and may revert back to more movement in the future.

Shakur Stevenson picked up one of the biggest wins of his career on Saturday night, earning a unanimous decision win over William Zepeda at Louis Armstrong Stadium in New York.

Boxing legend “Iron” Mike Tyson was sure to get his opinions across after watching Stevenson defend his title against Zepeda.
