Muratalla outdid himself The boxing public is unhappy with the selection, feeling that the 22-year-old Schofield has no chance against Shakur. It’s another example of New Jersey native Stevenson picking an opponent to avoid defeat and keep her hopes alive for a big-money payday against Gervoda Davis in 2025. “We made a huge offer to Muratalla. He asked for $3 million (to fight Shakur Stevesnon),” Eddie Hearn said KO Artist Sports about Raymond Muratalla wanting $3 million to fight WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson on February 22nd. “People don’t see that.
