Is Badou Jack the man to end the long reign of WBC light-heavyweight champ Adonis Stevenson? The fight to go ahead early next year

12/17/201712/16/2017 James Slater

The knock on knockout artist and long-reigning WBC light-heavyweight king Adonis Stevenson is the quality of challengers he has faced since winning the title by shocking Chad Dawson in a round back in the summer of 2013. “Superman” has retained his belt eight times – an impressive number on paper – but none of these challengers were what you could call elite-level operators.

Adonis Stevenson-Badou Jack: A light-heavyweight rumble we need to see

09/04/201709/04/2017 James Slater

Badou Jack: 1-0(1) as a light-heavyweight. Adonis Stevenson: 29-1(24) at 175. It might seem a mismatch, but it could also be viewed as one of the most exciting light-heavyweight fights that could be made today.

Jack, a former super-middleweight champ, jumped up seven-pounds and ripped the WBA light-heavy belt from tough and capable Welshman Nathan Cleverly on the huge Mayweather-McGregor “Money Fight” of August 26. Now, the Swedish-born two-weight champ wants all the gold at 175 – Andre Ward and Adonis Stevenson; but not particularly in that order.

Badou Jack makes light-heavyweight statement with stoppage of Cleverly, wants Adonis Stevenson next

08/27/2017 James Slater

Sweden’s Badou Jack made quite a statement last night on the big Mayweather-McGregor card in Las Vegas. Now a two-weight ruler, Jack ripped the WBA light-heavyweight title from a possibly weight drained Nathan Cleverly. Stopping a busted up Cleverly in the 5th round, Jack proved he had what it took to be able to move up from 168 (where he also held a world title).
