Shakur Stevenson Faces Threat to Undefeated Streak

2026-06-25 · Shakur Stevenson · Player Focus

Shakur Stevenson's undefeated streak is under threat, according to David Benavidez, who thinks Ryan Garcia can beat him. Stevenson recently won the WBO super-lightweight world title.

David Benavidez named Ryan Garcia as the fighter who can hand Shakur Stevenson his first career defeat. Benavidez expressed interest in a fight between Stevenson and Garcia.

Stevenson's future at super-lightweight is uncertain, with fans eager for him to move up to welterweight and attempt to become a four-division champion. Benavidez suggested that Stevenson should fight Garcia at 147lb.

Garcia is currently linked to a defence of his title against WBC mandatory challenger Conor Benn, but legalities may cause the proposed event to collapse. Benavidez believes that Garcia can beat Stevenson, saying 'Ryan beats him'.

Stevenson has been linked to fights against super-featherweight champion O'Shaquie Foster, lightweight champion Raymond Muratalla, and welterweight champion Devin Haney. Benavidez thinks that Stevenson's defence is good, but Garcia can still win.

Benavidez said that the difference between 144lb and 147lb is minimal, and Stevenson should fight Garcia if he is ready. The potential fight between Stevenson and Garcia would be a huge event, selling many pay-per-views.

Stevenson captured the WBO super-lightweight world title with a decisive points victory over Teofimo Lopez at the beginning of the year. His unbeaten streak is still intact, but Benavidez thinks that Garcia can change that.

The WBO has other ideas about Stevenson's future, but fans are eager to see him move up to welterweight. Benavidez's comments have added fuel to the speculation about Stevenson's next fight.

Garcia is a skilled fighter, and his potential fight against Stevenson would be highly anticipated. Benavidez's prediction that Garcia can beat Stevenson has sparked interest in the boxing world.

Stevenson's future is uncertain, but one thing is clear - his next fight will be highly anticipated. Will he move up to welterweight, or will he stay at super-lightweight? Only time will tell.

Benavidez's comments have added to the speculation about Stevenson's future. The boxing world is waiting to see what happens next in the career of Shakur Stevenson.
