Bob Arum named the reason for Stevenson's poor performance in the fight against De Los Santos

Bob Arum, promoter of the WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson, stated that his ward was unable to show a strong performance in the fight against Edwina De Los Santos due to health problems.

“You know, in his last fight, Shakur made a far from enthusiastic impression. This happened, but during the preparation for that fight he had a number of injuries. People took him to the doctor every day to take care of the illnesses he was facing.

We believe Stevenson will be amazing in his next fight. I think Shakur is a great talent. I don’t think his last fight shows how good and entertaining he really is,” Arum said.

Let us remember that in November Stevenson defeated De Los Santos by unanimous decision.
