Hearn confirms the offer was made for fight Stevens vs. Schofield

Promoter Eddie Hearn has confirmed that an offer was sent to Floyd Schofield (18-0, 12 KOs) for a bout with WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson (22-0. 10 KOs), BoxingScene reports.

Stevenson was supposed to face mandatory challenger William Zepeda on February 22 in Riyadh. But Zepeda has confirmed that he injured the left forearm in split decision win over Tevin Farmer earlier this month and that he can’t face Stevenson.

Was rumored that Schofield could replace Zepeda. Hearn confirmed that the discussions with Golden Boy Promotion are under way.

 “We agreed to fight Zepeda, so did Golden Boy apparently,” Hearn told BoxingScene. “But apparently, he’s injured after a very lackluster performance. Schofield is a name that’s in the hat, we’ve been talking to Golden Boy, we’ve made them an offer and we’re trying to tie that up with His Excellency now.

“I think it’s a really good fight, two very good undefeated American fighters, a lot of chat, a lot of back and forth in that fight. It’s Thanksgiving today, which is difficult to do business on, but we’ll do our best tonight and see where it gets to.”
