Shakur Stevenson publicly apologized to Turki Alalhikh on X, saying that he “reacted excessively” with some things he recently noticed about Turks in social media. Stevenson says, “Let’s work.” He hopes that Turks will aid him get him William Zepeda Fight on.

The airy champion of WBC Stevenson (23-0, 11 KO) believes that he needs Zepeda’s fight to raise his chances of getting a lucrative master WBA Gervont Davis. He thinks that by defeating Zepeda, he will open the door to fight the tank. Maybe not.

If Turki accepts the apology of Shakura, he could still put him on the pages of the Riyadh season to Dazn PPV and let him fight anyone who wants. I want Zepedy to start with.

Fan reaction

Many fans on X want Turks to wash Shakur’s hands and let him not let him back on any of their cards after showing his ingratitude. Turki allowed him to fight an electrician on his card on February 22, defeating Josh Padley.

He could play strenuous, insisting that Shakur would fight Herrera Core or one of the other best airy rivals. With Stevenson’s performance against Padley, he lost to Herrera, Andy Cruz or Raymond Muratalla.

It is hard to know if Shakura’s apology for Turki was real or strategic in the hope that he will get the fight he wants against Zepeda. Considering how desperate Stevenson is to fight Zepeda, probably yes I try back back In the Turka shepherd, hoping that he overcomes all the fights he wants. Should Turks trust Shakur again or make him give him a hand, giving him a hand?

Shakur can fight him Zapeda and Tank Davis. It may not go well when he got on the ring with them, but at least he will be able to fight them.

In the current situation, Stevenson will not get any of these guys, and he will lose his WBC title when he defends him against 1 Andy Cruz. He is a better warrior than Shakur. If Turki manages to deliver Zepeda and Tank, Shakur will earn a lot of money, fighting them. So, even if he loses, he would make all this cake.

Excited by my next fight was a misunderstanding between Turki and the band. I am sorry that my side for excessive response 🦾 Let’s work @Turki_ALSHIKHH

Abdullah Mason will fight the hefty hand of Jeremia Nakathila in the 10-round main support at ESPN on Undercard, if Keyshawn Davis vs. Edwin de los Santos on June 7 at the Scope arena, Norfolk, Virginia.

It would be a great choice for Mason to fight seven years ago, when Nakathlia rejected everyone like a clock and was 20 years antique. But he is 35 now. He recognized the losses in the second round with Raymond Muratal and Ernesto Mercado and looked extremely bad in both fights. Jeremia also lost the 12-Rund unanimous decision about Shakur Stevenson by the results of 120-108 x 3. Nakathlia was chosen to ensure that the Mason was not defeated or dropped many times.

Step down?

Earlier today Floyd Schofield Sr. He said that they were offered a fight against Mason (18-0, 16 KO). He accepted the fight, but he wanted $ 2.5 million For his son, Schofield Jr. It would be a better fight for a 21 -year -old Mason, but the starting price of Schofield was of course too steep. This explains why 35-year-old Nakathila (24-4, 21 KO) was chosen. It is a pity that the highest rank could not negotiate the fight for Mason against Schofield. It would be a good enough duel to throw away Keyshawn Davis vs. Edwin de los Santos with the main event.

Keith Idec gave the message From the best rank of Abdullah Mason fighting with a veteran Jeremia Nakathlia on the Keyshawn-de Los Santos card on June 7.

Fans in social media are not very satisfied with the choice of Nakoscilia for Abdullah, seeing this as ducks with avoiding the more threatening undefeated Floyd Schofield (18-0, 12 KO). It is hard to excite the perception of this as an option for Mason.

If you follow boxing and saw how Muratalla and Mercado blew out of Nakathlia from the water in two rounds in 2023, it looks like a well -preceded opponent to ensure Abdullah’s victory. It looks great in the eyes of free fans who are not aware that it is cherry.

It is good to be vigorous, but now, when his opposition is such guys at a low level. Last year, Mason fear of Yohan Vasquez on November 8. In the first round he was dropped twice by Vasquez and could be knocked out if this guy did not hurt his leg. From this fight, Mason was tailored to subsequent competitions with faint opponents without power.

Inhibited growth

It is perfect that the highest ranking is careful to Abdullah to develop him, but it will not be better if he fights with this kind of opponents. He could stay with amateurs because he would fight a better opposition and really develop.

Fighters who change the Pro, like Mason early, do not reflect justice, especially when they are with a promotional outfit that suits them in such a way as to create plastic records such as Edgar Berlanga when he was from the highest rank. Sixteen knockout in the first round was a red flag that Berlanga was not developed. Now we see the same with Mason.

IBF ordered #4 Frank Sancheza to fight Filip Hrgovic No. 6 in the eliminator of the heavyweight title. The winner will be mandatory for IBF master Daniel Dubois. They will still have to wait for the current compulsory Derek Chisora ​​to get the title shot against Dubois.

Sanchez (25-1, 18 KO) and Hrgovic (18-1, 14 KO) were knocked out two fights ago. It seems that they had another chance to decide to fight for the title of world champion. This is how IBF works.

TIRE TIME TIME

Chisora ​​will probably get a chance for the winner of the Dublois vs. rematch Oleksandr Usyk 2 this year. If everything goes well, the winner of Sanchez-Hrgovic will challenge the IBF title at the beginning of 2026. This is the best scenario. In the worst case, they will have to wait until 2027.

Make it easier for some warriors to get the title shots; That is why 41-year-old Chisora ​​took up a compulsory place with IBF after defeating Otto Wallin, Joe Joyce (39 years ancient and 42-year-old Gerald Washington in the last three fights. Affordable what means to be mandatory when selected warriors have it so easily.

Dubois is expected to fight the rematch with the unified heavyweight champion, Oleksandrek Usyk. The winner of this fight will defend against Chisory, and then the winner of the Sanchez-Hrgovic fight.

Hrgovic had a lot of trouble in his last fight, passing by a 10-round distance to defeat Joe Joyce with a unanimous decision on April 5. After the fight, Hrgovica’s face looked like he was hit by a truck. Tardy, massive Joyce shots have caused a lot of damage.

Sanchez, which looks much older than his chronological age 32, was detained in the seventh round by Agit Kabayel last May 18. He was dropped twice by Kabayel in the seventh round because of knee problems. If Sanchez’s knee still gives him problems, he will not last long against Hrgovic, because he will probably bend at him to test this problem.
