Shakur Stephenson has gone a light WBC champion with a safe choice with his alternative opponent, and the choice of a British local fighter Josh Badli (15-0, 4 KOS) Instead of Jadier Herrera to defend the title on Saturday, February 22, in Riyadh.

Turki Alalashikh revealed this morning news that Padeley #10, which is classified as WBC, 29, will be an alternative discount for Hakor (22-0, 10 KOS) to fight on Saturday in a 12-round match on UnderCard of the Artur Beerbiev VS. The event will be shown Live on Dazen.

Alalshikh did not say if it was the Battle of Stevenson vs. Padeley will move down on the card to Prelims, which will suit less battles on the Saturday card. The battle is 100 % non -identical, because Badli has no strength, and the speed of his hand is slow. I do not live in my world level.

Shakur strategy

I was never for an immediate thought, as the promoter of Shakur, Eddie Herne, would choose Herrera as a replacement for him because he was destroying a goal in hitting the mother load of golden wealth with the Battle of Gervonta Davis. To reach this huge fighting in the current decade with his fight, Shakur must look great in his first battle. This is where Badli comes. It is the ideal opponent of Stephenson to shine, seem to be unbearable, and may get a rare judge.

It is not surprising, that SouthPaw Jadier Herrera has not been chosen for Shakour because he has mono -sized power and is a killer for a fighter with glass hands. Herrera’s strength at the level of Gervonta Davis, and everything will be mistaken for Shekor because he will eventually descend.

Matchoom Hearn will stop taking on the final battle of Khakour on his contract. It will be a waste of time for him to re -sign a new contract and put him in an expensive reconstruction function as he did with Anthony Joshua. Shakur will not improve by rebuilding it

Badli is for display purposes, which makes Stephenson look better than it is. It is suitable for some of the least Shakur opponents, Artem Harutinian and Sueshiro Yoshino. Stevenson-Paley will not be able to compete because Padely is a weaker discount than any of the fighters that Shakur fought in his last seven battles.

Surprisingly, he got the green light as a substitute because it is not a battle that deserves to be placed on the Saturday card. I wanted to get It was a fly on the wall When Herne Josh Badli recommended his conversation with Turki.
