NEW YORK — Shakur Stevenson has plenty of time left in his career, but in terms of reaching his potential,he believes he isn’t even close.

At 27, Stevenson’s resume speaks for itself. He has held belts in three separate classes, including the lightweight division’s WBC title currently and being a former a unified champion at 130 pounds.

The accolades are impressive, and some performances he’s put on have been breathtaking. Do you remember the damage he dished out against Jamel Herring in 2021?

How about the one-sided beating he delivered to Oscar Valdez one year later?

Of course, no one will forget the flawless victory he scored over Josh Padley earlier this year, either. But while those outings were practically perfect, Stevenson (23-0, 11 KOs) is confident that he’ll put those showings to shame on July 12 when he takes on William Zepeda at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens as the co-main event for The Ring’s on DAZN pay-per-view.

“I’m coming in there to put on the best performance of my career,” Stevenson said during their press conference Thursday.

For years now, the Olympic silver medalist has wanted to get his hands on Zepeda. It was never anything personal, but the Mexican has been highly regarded for quite some time and Stevenson wanted to prove that he isn’t close to his level.

Ostensibly, Zepeda (33-0, 27 KOs) has been preparing for this moment. In three of his last four fights, including back-to-back matchups against Tevin Farmer, Zepeda’s team threw him in the ring with fighters who had pure boxing ability. Everything has worked out for him.

Stevenson is certain that he’ll become the first fighter to hand him an L. But winning isn’t enough. For the rest of his life, when Zepeda lays his head at night, Stevenson wants him to wake up in a cold sweat.

“On July 12, Zepeda’s gonna remember my name.”
