His father Brian was a big name in the sport and his grandfather Winston ‘Buddy’ Shaw is a well-known trainer with years of experience. His grandfather even helped train former unified welterweight champion, Cory Spinks. This left a lasting impact on Shaw’s aspirations to become a boxer.

“That was really one of the reasons why I got into boxing. I remember at one point in time Cory Spinks was living with my grandfather.

“That kind of stuff motivated me to really do what I’m doing now,” said Shaw.

Stephen Shaw is also a sparring partner to some of the biggest names in the heavyweight division- Andy Ruiz Jr., Charles Martin, and Deontay Wilder. In the past, Shaw has talked about how sparring Deontay Wilder has helped him build confidence. He believes he now understands what it takes to go toe-to-toe with a real former heavyweight world champion.

“It definitely helped my confidence knowing that I can contend with arguably the best puncher of this era, it definitely let me know where I was at in my career, and it helped me measure myself up against the former champion in Deontay. It just helped me understand what it was to be a champion,” said Stephen Shaw.
