Stevenson faces Fonfara rematch

By Daily Sports on June 2, 2017

Adonis Stevenson views himself as the king of the light heavyweight division by virtue of him holding the WBC 175 pound title, which he’ll be defending this Saturday night on June 3 in a rematch with Andrzej Fonfara at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Canada.

A big crowd is expected to turn out to see Stevenson (28-1, 23 KOs) beat up Fonfara (29-4, 17 KOs) for a second time in what is arguably a needless rematch.

Stevenson already beat Fonfara by a 12 round unanimous decision in 2014 after knocking him down two times.

The rematch is part of the gripes that some boxing fans have with Stevenson, who hasn’t gone out of his way to fight better opposition.

Stevenson, 39, is sending mixed messages. On one hand, Stevenson says he’s interested in fighting the winner of the June 17 fight between Andre Ward and Sergey Kovalev, but on the other hand, he says he can only fight who his management puts in front of him for him, “what is in front of me is Andrzej Fonfara,” he said.
