The boxing world is always interesting, and from former champions becoming government officials to Floyd Mayweather ironically and allegedly scamming a bunch of Nigerians, this week was no different. Here are the important boxing stories you need to know from this week.
Young featherweight and former Olympic silver medalist Shakur Stevenson was arrested and charged with misdemeanor battery for his involvement in a Miami parking lot brawl. This will likely be nothing (does anyone remember Terence Crawford’s incident with a mechanic?) but for a young man who was developing an all-American boy persona complete with a winning smile and boyish charm, using your elite fistic prowess on some guys in a parking lot is not a good look.
