Shakur Stevenson calls out Carl Frampton: "I want to retire you in Northern Ireland"

Shakur Stevenson takes on Toka Khan Clary on Saturday night live on ESPN and Premier Sports

Undefeated American prospect Shakur Stevenson has called for a clash with Carl Frampton and believes that he has what it takes to end the Northern Irish fighter's career after he takes on Jamel Herring.

'Fearless' believes that Frampton has been avoiding the clash, and is confident that Jamel Herring will defeat 'The Jackal' when the pair meet in a proposed world title clash in January 2021.

Stevenson said in an interview with Marc Gatford via the MyBettingSites.co.uk blog: "His punk a** doesn't want to fight me, that dude, I think he's scared to fight me. If he comes through [against] Herring I'm going to f** him up.

“I don't think he'll fight me, I think even if he wins he was talking about retiring, I don't think he really wants to fight me.

“I would love to come to the lions den in Belfast and beat-up on Frampton. I'd love to be the person to retire Frampton.

“Frampton has got the perfect style for me, the sit back and box, looking for hard, big punches - that s**t won't work. Over the course of the fight, I'll stop him.

The southpaw also revealed his eagerness to fight undefeated Josh Warrington in the future, but insists his focus remains on the present and is promising a big show on December 12th in the main event.

“I think Jamel will beat Frampton, I think Frampton is too small. I think Jamel will out box him and use his reach and range against Frampton, I can't see him finding a way to hit or reach Jamel. Herring is a really big 130-pounder.

“I haven't forgotten about [Josh] Warrington, I don't think he'll be at 126 for too much longer. I think Warrington is a decent fighter, better than people give him credit for. He's a pressure fighter but he’s made for me as a boxer.

“Tune in December 12, i’m going to put on an amazing performance and i’m going to show why everybody believes why I’m one of the best young fighters in the sports. It’s going to be fireworks.”
