Shakur Stevenson says that he wants to prove to the audience, that he is the best warrior on “Earth” when he faces Teofimo Lopez in what he thinks will be in January 2026.

Stevenson (24-0, 11 KO) states that his fight with the WBO Teofimo (22-1, 13 KO) welterweight champion is “greater” than anything else in boxing. It will be the main event when it will happen.

28 -year -old Shakur will enhance to 140 for the first time to challenge Lopez for his title WBO Delicate Welter Wweight. I do not plan to stay in this weight class. Stevenson says that after defeating Teofimo, he gives WBO title to his friend Keyshawn Davis. It will be fascinating, and I bet it will be really good with fans.

The king’s throne is waiting

“When business people are ready to seal the contract, the contract will be concluded. The fight is happening. We want to become a king. We want to be where Bud Crawford is. At the beginning of 26. I like January – said Shakur Stevenson to Ariel Helwani The channel about when he will fight Teofimo Lopez.

Without Turk, Alalshikh Shakur and Teofimo will not be able to convey Terenka Crawford. He fought only with two Turk’s cards, but in these fights he received a fortune.

If Turks see Stevenson and Lopez on their favorite list, they will be where Crawford is financially, receiving huge payments. It is unbelievable that Stevenson will become the undisputed champion, such as Crawford, without being in the perfect position to collect all belts at the same time, without accepting any of the risky warriors.

“We could fight anywhere as long as the fight is sold. I just want to prove to the world I am the best warrior on the planet Earth. This is how business people do, “Stevenson said, asked if the location is resolved.

The popularity of heels

It is admirable that Shakur wants to show fans that he is a “best warrior” in boxing in his competition against Teofimo. I think that it is not infected in the style of Stevenson’s fight, which is too defensively concentrated. If Shakur can often publish on X and give many interviews, bragging on himself, it can become a larger star outside the ring in WWE type A way to be a heel or wicked figure. This is probably one of the essential factors why Shakur is popular.

I do not believe that this is happening because of his fighting style, performances or opposition he met during his career. In this way he boasts himself, becoming unbearable narcissus and deprived of self -awareness.

“Yes, for sure. I don’t think anything in boxing would be more than me and Teo,” said Shakur asked if his clash with Lopez would be the main event.

It is good to know that Shakur has returned to the stars once again. His last two fights with William Zeda and Josh Padley were placed on the backlight in 2025. With the popularity of Teofimo, it makes sense that Turks Alalshikh make this main fight. Even if Shakur has no popularity in relation to the mainstream of boxing fans, the power of the Star Teofimo will make up the difference.

Headers without boiling

Shakur must still fight in a stationary style, as he showed in his last fight with Zepeda on July 12, so that he became television, so that they can be a header of programs that do not bombard, causing booing, and make the fans leave the arena early in a gigantic number.

It is essential that Stevenson does not run around the ring, turning the competition into a fight in the style of Tom and Jerry. The way Stevenson was booed in his fights with Edwin de Los Santos and Jeremiah Nakathilia, left fans a lasting impression.
