In the video, “TBE” was seen lacing the gloves of the Featherweight champion. In addition, he shared some nuances of the ‘sweet science,’ that he has learned over the years. A couple of days later, Stevenson dives deep into being trained by the undefeated legend. In addition, Stevenson reveals that he is wasting no time to implement the tips given by Mayweather into his training regime.

Shakur Stevenson finds his training session with Floyd Mayweather prolific

Mayweather, during his time, competed in the Featherweight and Lightweight divisions, just like Stevenson. In many regards, the retired boxer was passing the knowledge from one generation to another. In a recent interview with FightHype.com, Stevenson shares his experience. Amongst other things, he revealed that Mayweather paid close attention to minor details that have stuck with him and continued to work on them.

He stated, “Yea for sure, it was a lot of new things he saying like it would be little small things that kinda stuck me. When I got to where I am now, I went back to the gym and worked on a lot of stuff he was saying.”

However, Stevenson is not keen on revealing Mayweather’s teachings. On those lines, he added, “I can’t put it out there because I do not want to tell nobody because they’re gonna steal my game.” It would be safe to say Stevenson looks up to Mayweather and is grateful to be taught by him. Intriguingly, there are many similarities between Stevenson and Mayweather. At least that is what Jeff Mayweather would say.

Jeff Mayweather draws a comparison between Stevenson and Floyd Mayweather

Jeff Mayweather is the uncle of the 50-0 boxer and also his manager. In an interview, while considering their defensive styles of fighting, he asserted that the 26-year-old closely resembles Mayweather. Stevenson is not a knockout artist but a boxer with precision and impeccable defence. On the other hand, Mayweather was also a boxer known for his defence more than anything else. Apart from that, the two are also great counterpunchers with fluid footwork. On those lines, he stated, “I would probably say, Shakur Stevenson. In terms of his ability to not get hit.” 

Not to mention, as of yet, both boxers have never been defeated in a professional bout and transitioned to professional boxing after successful Olympic careers. In many regards, Mayweather’s assessment stands coherent. But would you find yourself in agreement with Jeff Mayweather’s assessment?
