UNDEFEATED boxer Shakur Stevenson has announced he is retiring from the sport.
The 26-year-old took to social media to make the shock announcement.
Stevenson has won each and every one of his 21 bouts since he made his professional debut in 2017.
But despite his young age and impressive record, the WBC World Lightweight champion appears to have decided to hang up his gloves.
On X (formerly Twitter), he wrote: "I’m officially retiring from the sport of boxing.

And the southpaw has certainly impressed in his seven years as a pro since the games in Rio.
Some fans are unsure if Stevenson, named Shakur after rap icon Tupac, is truly heading for retirement or not.

The former WBC World Super Featherweight champ wouldn't be the first to threaten to retire before going back on their decision.

Stevenson's win over Oscar Valdez back in 2022 was perhaps his biggest with Valdez undefeated before the clash.
Stevenson won by unanimous decision, earning himself Valdez's WBC belt in the process to become the unified super-featherweight champion.
