Shakur Stevenson is now pushing the WBO champion 140-Funting Teofimo Lopez for fighting, saying that he will follow a lithe welterweight weight to challenge him by his belt.

This seems quite obvious for fans of WBC Lightweight Champion Stevenson (23-0, 11 KO) does this to avoid your compulsory No. 1, Andy Cruzwho breathes to his neck, and the artist #10 knockout Herrera Core.
Both of these Cuban talents want a shot against Shakur at the age of 135, but tries to run to the league 140 pounds to fight the WBO Teofimo Lopez welterweight champion. What does this say about Newark, from Modern Jersey Stevenson? It seems that Shakur does not like the heat, which is applied on it by these were Cuban amateur talents and wants to escape.
“What are you fighting with me, teo? Let’s assume that we both do business with the same people 🤫 I’m going 140 for it,” said Shakur Stevenson X.
Physical mismatch
Teofimo is too substantial and powerful for Shakur Stevenson. We just saw him struggling with an electrician Josh Padley Last month, not showing any power and barely able to bring out a part -time boxer in the ninth round of February 22.
Shakura’s opposition was embarrassing since his fight against Edwin de Los Santos in 2023. In the previous fight of Stevenson before Padley he fought Arty Harutyunyan, a warrior who lost Frank Martin and a one -year release.
Physically, Shakur is not built to fight such guys such as Teofimo Lopez or anyone with decent power at the age of 140. If you put him with Teo, Gary Antuanne Russell or Richardson Hitchins, it’s bad for him.
Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearna’s dreams Apply a great fight with Gervont Davis. He would have no other choice but to drop Shakur, because he does not intend to sign him again for high-priced Anthony Joshu in four fights. It won’t work anyway, because boxing The audience is not complete fools.
If Shakur moves to 140, his problems are solved. He does not have to worry about Cruz and Herrera, because the 15 best WBO rankings at 140 are delicate when you go outside Teofimo and Arnold Barboza Jr.
Alycia Baumgardner, the undisputed junior women’s champion, signed a contract with Jake Paul’s MVP promotions. “MVP joyfully announces that we have signed Alycia Baumgardner,” said the shop, “The undisputed master with a capacity of 130 pounds.” For his part, the thirty -year -old Baumgardner seems to be willing to be part of the Paul team. “MVP proved that they are leaders in women’s boxing, creating the greatest opportunities for fighters like me,” said Baumgardner. “This partnership is natural – not only for my career, but for influence on sport. The future has become even greater.”
Undoubtedly, the decision about the team from MVP promises that even greater interest in the distinctive Baumgardner. Also Paul is clearly excited about this latest development. “MVP strategically builds a list of fighters who deliver in both the ring and outside the ring,” said Paul and the partner of Nakisa Bidarian “And we are glad that we can welcome Alycia in the family as our latest world champion”, the MVP team is certainly one of the more colorful entities in the current fighting game. Together with Paul and Baumgardner, MVP is also home to the legendary Amanda Serrano. “Welcome to the future”, the popular Serrano said on Tuesday Baumgardner in social media.
With Serrano on the way to the third fight with the rival of Arch, Katie Taylor, there are now questions whether Baumgardner will appear on the undercard of this very anticipated card in Madison Square Garden this summer. Nothing has been announced at the moment. What is not mysterious is the fact that MVP works with a plan, a plan that clearly includes some of the biggest names in women’s boxing.
With a 15-1 record, Baumgardner is undoubtedly one of the biggest stars in women’s fists. To the side she had one loss with Christina Linardatou, she won a perfect record. And she avenged her loss from Linardatou in 2023. Considering this, Baumgardner is a person who puts things. “From modest beginnings to the largest stages in boxing,” Baumgardner published in social media. “Every lane, every battle, every blessing – this journey is greater than me. Grateful, focused and ready for more. Heritage in movement.”
The return of Tim Tziu from Joey Spencer will take place on Saturday, April 5 at Newcastle Entertainment Center in Newcastle, Australia. This is a must win for the former WBO Master Munior Medium weight Tisz (24-2, 17 KO) because he lost the last two fights with Bakhram Murtazaliev and Sebastian Fund. Some fans believe that the 29-year-old is washed.
The fight must win
Of course, if Tim loses to Spencer, that’s actually. You can give Tiszu to be known from the water Bakhram Murtazaliev In his last fight, when he faced the invincible IBF 154-LB champion, which other best fighters in the division avoided like a scourge.
Even Terenka Crawford decided not to mix him with him when he moved to 154 August last year. Tsyzyu didn’t know what to enter.
The event will be displayed live on the best film at 21:00 et/18:00 entitled
Spencer (19-1, 11 KO) is a talented warrior with one loss in his CV, losing to Jose Ramos about a knockout in the seventh round on March 25, 2023. Before this loss, Spencer looked great, winning his first 16 fights, appearing in order to gain a world title. It was too much a class jump.
Spencer is a good opponent that Tyu shows that he came back. It would not make his promoters throw him back in a deep end in relation to one of the killers, such as Serhii Bohachuk, Israil Madrimov or Charles Conwell.
“This is my redemption trip,” said Tsyzyu. “I come back a stronger, hungry and ready to prove a point. There is no softening inside-he doesn’t have tuning fights-just straight into fire with a very, very good warrior in Joey Spencer. He is a real warrior, this is what I live, and exactly that I want … I’m here to make a statement.
Edgar Berlanga seemed today to enjoy the fact that he is eventually a free agent after four contracts with Matchroom ending on the last Saturday evening. Maybe he does not contact reality, thinking that promoters will want to sign it on the basis of 23 wins over tomato cans.
Finally free
The former claimant for the title of the world of a super medium weight Berlanga (23-1, 18 KO) believes that there will be a crazy rush of promoters and networks, which will lead him to capture “this gigantic bag” and making countless wealth. He got the fight Canelo Alvarez and did $ 12 million With Matchroom, despite the fact that he never beat the players at the highest level. Eddie Hearn did a great job for Berlang and did not have to beat one guy to get this money.
He earned his money on popularity in the Novel York region, and not beating any of the killers at the age of 168. You can’t call Jonathan Gonzalez-Ortiz, Jason Quigley or Padraig McCrory Killers. These smaller fighters would not survive the round against the best pretenders, such as Diego Paczeco and Oslyys Iglesias in Super Middle Wweight.
Who pays?
Promoter Eddie Hearn wants to continue working with Berlang and set him in the fight against the Caleb factory. However, he can go with them if the up-to-date boxing league of Turki Alalshikh is interested in signing Berlang. Dana White said that warriors in the up-to-date league would lose fights like in UFC. If Berlanga can even bring the weight of the fight at 168, he will lose many times if it suits the best fighters in the division.
Perhaps they would be an ideal landing place for Berlang, which will lose a lot if Dana will practice what he says about “the best fights”. However, this will come down to money, because Edgar probably expects the same cake he got from fighting Canelo.
It would have to be a promoter who is ready to lose money during his fights, because if he gets $ 10 million to fight such guys such as Jermall Charlo, Caleb Plant or Jaime Mungia, the events will probably be bleeding. These guys are not popular enough to introduce PPV from Berlang, and he does not have enough fans in the Novel York region to bring numbers to fight if he gets huge money.
“If you want to knock him down, you can say that he should come back with something a bit better,” Atlas said on his Teddy YouTube channel The fact that Edgar Berlanga should have been fighting a better warrior in his fight, not Jonathan Gonzalez-Ortiz.
“He came back, got rid of this guy, and now he must fight something better. Either fight with someone much better, or go and fight with a great fight. That’s what we want. You went there with Canelo and showed that you are not such a level. Now we want a gigantic, gigantic, gigantic [fight]. What is the great fight? Bet? One of these guys. “
