Shakur Stevenson, arrested and charged, following Miami brawl.

Just days after his 21st birthday, Olympic silver medalist Shakur Stevenson was arrested and apparently charged with misdemeanour battery, following his alleged role in a Miami parking garage brawl.. Apparently Stevenson and fellow fighter, David Grayton, a 31 year old, 15-2-1 (11 Ko’s) welterweight from DC, we’re caught on Closed Circuit surveillance, brawling with a group of individuals next to a parking garage pay booth.. According to statements made to Miami police, both fighters made comments to the group whilst inside the garage, a group which included two females, to whom explicit sexual references were directed at, igniting the incident..
According to the police report, one Male and one female were treated by medical staff at the scene, both described as visibly injured.. Stevenson and Grayton had fled the scene by the time police had arrived, but were both apprehended an hour later at a South Beach Hotel, where both fighters had superficial injuries to suggest their involvement.. (Stevenson having a cut lip, and Grayton grazed knuckles.)
Authorities later checked CCTV footage, which has since been publicly released, and the outcome looks quite ominous for the pair..
Stevenson (7-0, 4 KO) has been extremely active, fighting eight weeks since December, Grayton is coming off a loss to Miguel Cruz back in November.
Prior to this incident, Stevenson was scheduled to meet Carlos Ruiz on August 18th as part of the Bryant Jennings-Alexander Dimitrenko undercard, but having viewed the footage, that appearance may be is a degree of doubt..
Shakur up to this point has never shown any particular history of this type of nature and had previously been publicly admired for his exemplary conduct as a rising young Olympian..
Fame and fortune really hasn’t reached Stevenson as of yet, let’s hope this incident isn’t a prelude to what we could expect from him as his popularity heightens.. Previous recent examples set by Adrien Broner should have acted as a deterrent for young fighters in their position, but sometimes just like the saying goes.. “Youth is wasted on the young.”
