Adonis Stevenson is gearing up for the biggest fight of his career. He is taking on his sternest test in a long time.

He will lock horns with TMT fighter and former WBC super-middleweight champion of the world, Badou Jack.

Stevenson has been somewhat targeted for what is perceived to have been cherry picking and not taking on the best possible opposition.

He silenced a lot of those making the claims by coming to an agreement with Badou Jack. The Canadian shared that he intends to use this fight to “make everybody shut their mouth.”

“I hope that this will make everybody shut their mouth. I accepted his challenge.” Stevenson said

“Everybody knows Badou Jack is a good boxer.”

“This is a big, big fight. I think this is one of the biggest fights of the year.”

“I am not the only guy who decides if I am going to fight and who I am going to fight you know. Now it is Badou Jack.”

“It is no problem. So now I expect all the people to stop trash talking and hating.”

“Everybody sees I am fighting Bad Jack and this is a big fight at 175,” Stevenson told BoxingScene.com.

Additionally, Stevenson shared his belief that his upcoming fight is the best on Showtime’s schedule.

“This is the best fight on the schedule.”

“I don’t think people expected that and when Showtime announced it people were very surprised,” Stevenson commented.

“This is the fight that the fans want. I am always giving the fans what they want but like I said I am not the one who decides that.”

“It was easy to make the fight happen because Badou Jack is with Floyd Mayweather and I am with Al Haymon so the fight is very easy to negotiate,” Stevenson added.
