Robert Garcia Ready To Pursue Shakur Stevenson Mandatory Position For Raymond Muratalla

Raymond Muratalla’s camp reacted immediately after WBO president Gustavo Olivieri identified the IBF lightweight champion as a leading candidate for Shakur Stevenson’s mandatory challenger position at light welterweight.

Olivieri explained on Monday that the sanctioning body has yet to name an opponent for Stevenson’s proposed November defense. Emiliano Vargas holds the No. 1 ranking at light welterweight, but Muratalla becomes eligible by changing divisions and submitting an official petition.

“We’ll get on it asap. See you soon @ShakurStevenson @WorldBoxingOrg @OlivieriLaw,” said Robert Garcia on X.
