Emanuel Navarrete targets Shakur Stevenson and four-division world championship triumph | Boxing News – Canada Boosts

Emanuel Navarrete doesn’t do boring fights. He’s an all-action, high-octane attacker.

That method has seen him beat Oscar Valdez, stay undefeated for greater than a decade and, he hopes, will in the end result in a showdown with American star Shakur Stevenson.

WBO super-featherweight Navarrete bins Robson Conceicao in Las Vegas, on the identical invoice as Stevenson, reside on Sky Sports activities within the early hours of Friday morning.

Navarrete is already a three-weight world champion and he plans to proceed his massively spectacular successful streak towards Brazilian Olympic gold medallist Conceicao.

He places a lot of his success right down to a “weird style” of boxing.

“We all know it’s a weird style, it’s uncommon seeing a fighter throw irregular punches from different angles,” the Mexican instructed Sky Sports activities.

“However it has labored nicely for me. It has been very beneficiant to me and it has helped me rather a lot and it has been basic to successful fights as a result of my opponents do not know how you can determine it out.

“There are aspects of my style that I can’t explain how they’ve worked for me or how I’ve been able to do things and opponents are surprised by it because they can’t comprehend how I did that move, how I threw this punch, how I shifted this way and all that.”

His confidence is excessive after a career-best victory over Oscar Valdez final outing. As satisfying as all his victories have been for him, beating his Mexican rival “did leave a different taste”.

“Because of all that it represented – the rivalry between Mexicans, everything that came with the fight, left me with happiness that I was able to fight him and overcome a Valdez that really came with a lot of desire, a lot of momentum, gave me a lot of satisfaction. Maybe extra satisfaction,” Navarrete stated.

“It helped me because it opened new panoramas in my career. Good things are coming and I think the fight against Valdez influenced these things.”

Conceicao, who gave Valdez all types of issues in a contentious 2021 defeat, may very well be an excellent harder opponent for the defending WBO super-featherweight champion.

“It’s difficult to fight against an Olympic style like that, the kind of character of Robson Conceicao,” Navarrete stated.

“We’re going to have to work on closing the exits and forcing him to fight. That’s what I think I’m going to have to do, however if he comes out to brawl, that’s going to give us an advantage.”

Shakur Stevenson, who fights for the WBC light-weight title towards Edwin De Los Santos on the identical invoice on the T-Cellular Enviornment in Las Vegas, has crushed each Valdez and Conceicao beforehand.

Navarrete want to pursue a championship in a fourth weight division and in the end tackle Stevenson.

“I’ve been focusing on unifying in this division,” the Mexican stated. “It’s the perfect division to unify.

“I will proceed doing fights and making a legacy at 130lbs after which after that I will transfer up in weight and attempt to win one other title.

“Shakur will be a good fight. Personally I think it will be a difficult fight because of everything that Shakur represents. He has an Olympic style, he’s elusive. He’s very strong. He’s never been hurt, no one has ever seen him hurt so that’s going to be a big factor. Then with me fighting him it’ll be very interesting.

“We’ll have to attend and see how issues occur after this combat that I’ve and we’ll see what the following yr holds for me.”
