Floyd Schofield continued to move up the lightweight rankings earlier this month as he moved to 17-0 with a win over Esteuri Suero.
The Texan is seen as one of America’s emerging talents and he’s quickly approaching the title class following his latest victory that took place on the undercard of William Zepeda vs. Maxi Hughes.
Although not quite ready to cut it with the elite names in boxing, Schofield believes he is closing in on them and he’s ready to step up again.
The Texan has spent time sparring Shakur Stevenson and he’s provided details on what it was like sharing the ring with the three-weight world champion.
“I learned that he is a thinker,” said Schofield when speaking KO Artist Sports, “But that sparring gave me confidence and showed me I could do this.
“That is what gives me the confidence to keep pushing. If I could keep up with a champion at the time, maybe I could become a champion.”
