“Bet the House on Ya”: Training Camp Pictures of Shakur Stevenson Weeks Ahead of Edwin De Los Santos Fight Sent Spark in the Boxing World

At long last, Shakur Stevenson got an opponent to step inside the square ring with him. The former Olympic silver medalist tried his hardest to arrange fights against the likes of Devin Haney, Vasiliy Lomachenko, William Zepeda, Frank Martin, and Isaac Cruz. But all those efforts fell flat on the face. However, at the end of it all, 16-1, Edwin De Los Santos stepped up to face the two-time world champion.

De Los Santos might not be the biggest name in the division. But reviewing his past performances, Shakur was convinced that Santos was the best available option. Moreover, Shakur is hard at work in his training camp, preparing for the upcoming fight. But what took the internet by storm are the pictures Stevenson shared on Instagram recently. Alongside the pictures, Stevenson wrote, “Less then 4 weeks away.. I promise u I’m standing on business Dude should of been careful what he asked for see y’all soon I can’t wait to show out for y’all.” When fans got their hands on the picture, they quickly took to the comment section.
