Floyd Schofield, Vasiliy Lomachenko and Gervonta Davis — Shakur Stevenson has set his wishlist for 2025.

Stevenson hasn't fought thrice in a calendar year since 2019, and boxing so frequently is rare at the elite level of the sport, but the WBC lightweight champion confirmed to Uncrowned's "The Ariel Helwani Show" on Monday that he plans to fight three times this year after managing just one bout in 2024.

The fight Stevenson most wants is a WBA/WBC lightweight unification bout with Gervonta "Tank" Davis, although that bout means much more than just that. Stevenson and Davis are natural rivals for each other — two accomplished, undefeated, American lightweight world champions who sit on the bottom portion of the pound-for-pound list. Such a fight is among the biggest that can be made in the sport.

Davis doesn't seem as keen on the matchup, though, publicly dismissing Stevenson as having done nothing to warrant the fight.

“For what? What has Shakur done?" Davis asked rhetorically after his press conference in December. "What has he done in the sport? He hasn't done nothing."

Stevenson, a three-division world champion, believes Tank is reluctant to mention his name because it would draw attention off of himself.

"I think he's a guy that, he [doesn't] want to share the spotlight," Stevenson told Uncrowned. "When my name is asked, it seems like he gets very frustrated, in his feelings. He's just got to live with it until he fights me. If he feels that way, I think we should fight. Get it off your chest."

Adding further weight to Stevenson's claims are a series of posts Davis made Sunday criticizing Turki Alalshikh's work in the sport and labeling people who praise him as "d*** eaters." Davis' rant was met with ample pushback that he was merely upset at not being invited to Saturday's Ring Magazine award ceremony set up by Alalshikh.

Alalshikh stated a desire to have Davis box on one of his events in 2024, however, Davis replying that the Saudi fight financier would need to send him two Ferraris to even consider the proposal. Alalshikh answered by saying that he would send Davis two pairs of boxing gloves instead.

"I'll be very upset if that fight don't happen, just because of the fact that this is the fight that I know [has] been my dream fight for a long time," Stevenson said of Davis. "I've been ready to prove who I am to the world by beating him. So I'd be kind of upset. I don't need him either, so it's a two-way street."

Stevenson is also eager to face IBF lightweight champion Lomachenko in a separate unification bout in 2025, but he isn't as confident that fight will be made.

"I sparred him a while back," Stevenson said of Lomachenko. "And I think he's been scared ever since."

Stevenson and Lomachenko previously shared a promoter, Top Rank, but a unification bout wasn't made at the time and Top Rank's Arum explored a failed Lomachenko vs. Davis fight instead.

"They would definitely get in the way of the fight too," Stevenson said of Top Rank. "My hopes are very low for [a Lomachenko fight], but with Turki, he can make a lot of things happen. So hopefully he can."

A fight that is perhaps more likely for Stevenson's second bout of 2025 is his WBC mandatory challenger, William Zepeda.

Stevenson is open to the bout but isn't positive it'll come to fruition either.

"He's a good fighter, so I'd love to beat him up too." Stevenson said of Zepeda. "He's been running from me for a minute, so I'm kind of skeptical about that fight too."

Before any of those potential matchups can be made, however, Stevenson must first get past the undefeated Floyd Schofield on the Feb. 22 undercard of Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol 2. Schofield serves as Stevenson's debut with Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing and Alalshikh's Riyadh Season.

"I was very surprised [Schofield accepted the fight]. I'm the one who pushed for it, I'm the one who made this fight happen," Stevenson insisted. "I told them that if Zepeda didn't want me, I'll fight [Schofield]. He's been talking a lot of crap and now he's got to stand on everything he said.

"When somebody calls you a phony, a lot of people could ignore it. Somebody of my stature, somebody in my shoes, could've ignored it, keep it moving, and go fight bigger and better fights. But when everybody don't want to fight you, I'd rather just answer the phone call and show people that they're not who they say they are."

Schofield was the only fighter not present at Monday's launch press conference in London for the Feb. 22 card.

"I think he's getting a little bit scared.," Stevenson said of Schofield's absence. "I think that butterflies are hitting him right now. He's having the biggest fight of his career, he's trying to find any way out, and I just pray he comes to the fight and shows up on February 22."

Stevenson has been subject to plenty of criticism after his past couple bouts, partially because he fights in the same division as a knockout artist like "Tank," yet Stevenson's style is the polar opposite.

"People just pick their favorites, and when they got a favorite, they feel like they can't like other fighters," Stevenson said. "If my style is not the same as the style that they like, they're going to try and talk bad on my style and act like I'm not the guy. And I'm too dominant. I'm very dominant in the boxing ring."

Stevenson used the analogy of a basketball game to describe his style and why people might struggle to stay entertained in the later portion of his fights.

"When you're watching basketball and the team goes up 30 [points]," Stevenson explained, "it's exciting to watch them go up 30, but after 30 you turn off the TV, you turn off the channel because it's not exciting to watch somebody be so dominant.

"It's the same thing with me. I go up 30 [points] in my fights, and all you're going to see [after that] is the knockout, and if the knockout don't happen, it's not entertaining. ... I just make it look too easy."

Stevenson's opponents' difficulty in having success against the WBC champ, as described by Stevenson himself, has made it difficult for the American to land the career-defining fights he so badly covets.

"People don't want to go into fights where they knew that they're going to lose," Stevenson said. "And I think a lot of people know — when they sign up to me, they are going to lose. There's no ifs, ands, buts, so they don't feel like they have a chance.

"Embarrass them is the word. Hit, not get hit. Embarrass."
