We are a little 24 hours from both Shakur Stevenson and Oscar Valdez’ most important fight of their career.
Saturday can’t get here soon enough considering the bad blood that has developed between the two.
Stevenson has called out Valdez for some time now.
“I speak the truth every time I talk,” said Stevenson. “I felt like he didn’t want to fight me at 126. Now we’re here at 130. He was trying to fight [Emanuel] Navarrete before fighting me. But we’re here now. We can’t keep talking about that. The fight is Saturday, and I’m ready to fight.”
Fight coverage starts at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT on ESPN+.
