Shakur Stevenson<\/a> has earned widespread praise following his super-lightweight world title victory, but former two-division champion Timothy Bradley<\/a> says there\u2019s another 140lb contender he\u2019d steer clear of before facing the Newark southpaw.<\/p>\n

Two weeks ago, Stevenson dominated Teofimo Lopez to obtain the WBO super-lightweight crown<\/a> and, after being stripped of the WBC lightweight world title during the aftermath<\/a>, the 28-year-old looks like the man to beat in the division which he may now call home.<\/p>\n

However, there are lucrative opportunities on the horizon for Stevenson should he opt to move up to the welterweight scene, where the likes of Devin Haney<\/a>, Ryan Garcia<\/a> and Conor Benn<\/a> currently reside.<\/p>\n

Still, Stevenson may decide to remain at his new weight and attempt to become the undisputed super-lightweight champion, depending on how willing his fellow champions are to face him.<\/p>\n

Speaking on his YouTube channel<\/a>, Bradley explained why he believes one man is even more dangerous at 140 than Stevenson \u2013 Keyshawn Davis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would rather fight Shakur than fight Keyshawn Davis, and you know how much I love Shakur. Fantastic fighter, I say that he is next on the throne and he is, but Shakur is one of those guys that will humiliate you.<\/p>\n

\u201cKeyshawn will humiliate you and knock your a** out. That is the difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

Davis knocked out Jamaine Ortiz on the Lopez-Stevenson undercard<\/a> in his first fight since being stripped of the WBO lightweight world title.<\/p>\n

At present, \u2019The Businessman\u2019 sits as the number one contender in the WBO\u2019s super-lightweight division, but both Davis and Stevenson have stated they would never face each other due to their close friendship<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shakur Stevenson has earned widespread praise following his super-lightweight world title victory, but former two-division champion Timothy Bradley…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":433000,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-432999","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/432999","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=432999"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/432999\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/433000"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=432999"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=432999"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=432999"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
