Shakur Stevenson leaves his dignity when he continues the tireless pursuit of Teofimo Lopez to X, trying to force him to fight.
Psychological war in social media
Today, Shakur (24-0, 11 KO) continued his pressure on Teofimo, directly interrogating him on social media. By publishing him, Shakur uses a psychological war. Daily next to Stevenson, they may seem unrestricted and obsessive towards the average fan, but the goal is to force Lopez to make a decision.
This is automatic loss That Teofimo would reject the fight because he hurts his reputation and artificially raises the status of Shakura. This is primitivetype The approach that Stevenson uses, but works. Many fans believe that Teofimo throws Shakur and is afraid. They overlooked the possibility that Teo was waiting for the Turks Alalshikh to augment the offer.
Say you are ignoring me now, are we fighting or what? @Teofimolopez
The Shakur generation also serves the purpose of removing it from fans who press against his defense against his contender to WBC No. 1, Andy Cruz, or transfer the fight against Floyd Schofield Jr. As long as Stevenson torments Lopez to fight, he distracts the attention of fans from putting his feet in defense of Andy Cruz or Schofield.
The fans noticed that both Shakur and his “brother” Keyshawn Davis were going to Teofimo at the same time at 140. Earlier it was reported that Keyshawn (13-0, 9 Kos) submits petition to WBO to install him as a claimant Teofimo at 140, automatically placing him before the current Alfredo No. 1 Alfredogo, Division.
Abbreviation for Keyshawn Davis
If Teofimo leaves his WBO title to avoid Keyshawn, this may lead to lifting it, if it is installed by the sanction body as a pretender No. 1. Keyshawn was deprived of his lightweight WBO title for the lack of weight on June 6, 2025 for defending the title before Edwin de los Santos.

Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley meet for the WBO heavyweight title this evening in their highly-anticipated rematch.
It was back in May when Wardley was making the first defence of his WBO crown against Dubois, in a fight that turned out to be one of the best of the entire year.
‘DDD’ was knocked down twice early on, but was able to recover from those setbacks to dominate the action and inflict plenty of punishment on his rival, leading to the 11th round stoppage win to wrestle the belt away from Wardley.
Just five months on, the pair will meet again after Wardley activated his rematch clause, as the Ipswich man bids to reclaim his title at the first attempt.
He has a difficult task on his hands though, with many backing Dubois to come out on top once moreand potentially move on to unification battles with the likes of Agit Kabayel and former foe Filip Hrgovic.
Stay with Boxing News for a live scorecard, for as long as the fight lasts, and the official result as the British heavyweight duo do battle once more.

Daniel Dubois vs Fabio Wardley fight result
Daniel Dubois TKO2.A destructive performance from Dubois. Back in May he had to recover from the first round knockdown, but this time around he returned the favour by dropping his rival early on and Wardley struggled to recover from that point onwards.
The Ipswich man managed to survive the opening round but it was more of the same in round two, with ‘DDD’ piling on even more pressure and landing a number of huge shots, forcing referee Steve Gray to jump in and stop the action, just as trainer Ben Davison was also throwing the towel in.
A huge statement from Dubois sent out to the rest of the banner division as he retains his WBO heavyweight title.
Daniel Dubois defends his WBO heavyweight title against Fabio Wardley on Saturday, October 17, 2026, at The O2 Arena in London, with coverage starting at 7 p.m. BST / 2 p.m. ET and ring walks expected around 10:30 p.m. BST / 5:30 p.m. ET.
