Shakur Stevenson Pictured With Bob Arum? A Photo Surfaces as the WBO Clock Ticks on Muratalla 📸
A photo posted Thursday by the X account @Hassanwellss shows what it describes as "Shakur Stevenson meeting with Bob Arum who has Raymond Muratalla the WBO MANDATORY on his stable". BoxingNews24 reports the meeting was in Houston. Boxbid couldn't find Shakur's original post, and the meeting hasn't been confirmed by anyone involved.
Why it matters: the WBO has ordered Shakur to defend his 140-pound title against Raymond Muratalla, and Muratalla fights under Arum's Top Rank. If the sides don't make a deal, it goes to a purse bid, so a sit-down with Arum would be worth noticing, if that's what it was.
That's all it is so far: a photo. Neither Shakur, Arum nor Top Rank has said anything about it that we could find, and no deal has been reported. Shakur is still a free agent.
