Shakur Stevenson says he doesn’t care about money and wants the Golden Boy Oscar de La Hoya promoter to be next to William Zazda. The featherlight champion of WBC Shakur (23-0, 11 KO) is ready for the handbag route if you cannot conclude a contract with the transient Zepeda champion (33-0, 27 KO).

It doesn’t look good in the Shakur-Zepeda fight. The money that, according to Shakur, came from Saudis, evaporated. If the bag’s offer is low, it will not be surprising if Shakur leaves his WBC title.

Shakur did not mention what his plan is if he was not fighting with William Zeda. His promoter, Eddie Hearn, will not be content if this fight does not happen to him because he knows that he will not be interested in fans if he re -uses one of his British fighters so that Shakur can fight. He followed this route in the last defense of Stevenson’s title, using the British warrior Josh Padley. Hearn needs Zepeda to escalate interest in the fight tank Davis.

Shakura’s demand

“You know something. A friend of money. Respect me as a man,” said Shakur Stevenson XInforming the world of boxing that he simply wants to fight William Zazda, regardless of money.

“Me and my team did it because we want to fight. Now stop lying, crying and making it *** [and] William Zepeda, you like to play filthy, right? Well, I’m to fight, MF. “

Shakur says he doesn’t care about money, but of course it is so because he complains that Turki is withdrawing from his original Zepeda fight offer.

Capturing the WBC title with Shakur is not what is for Zepeda. Shakur knows what awaits him, so he presses so difficult to fight Zepeda. I feel that he can win and then bypass Andy Cruz Go straight to the Unification match with Gervont Davis.

De la Hoya did not say a word since publishing on social media last week that Stevenson decided not to go with the fight.

Oscar can look in a different direction for Zepeda, which may feel that it is not worth fighting Shakur if the money has dried. Holding the WBC belt would place a Mexican lethargic in a balmy seat, needing to defend the belt against the high ranking of Andy Cruz. Why would Zepeda want this kind of headache?

The featherlight champion of WBC Shakur Stevenson and the obligatory William Zepeda must start negotiations by a sanction body with a handbag offer scheduled for May 6, if they are unable to submit a contract.

27 -year -old Shakur hopes to take advantage of this fight to prepare for a unification match with Gervont Davis. He could make a mistake because Zepeda has a style that would cut a featherlight Shakur and beat him badly.

Farmer warning

Stevenson could not do things that Tevin Farmer was able to do with Zepeda in his two fights because he has no impact strength and shortbread. The farmer was warned by Shakur It is hard to cope with Zepeda’s pressure on social media.

“Trust me when I tell you. Although (most) in the world she thought that I beat Zepeda twice, this production would give everyone great trouble, unless you destroy it. I told you the first,” said Tevin Farmer to make Shakur join X.

Shakur replied: “Do you want to bet on it some money?”

The farmer may not be possible to talk about Shakur’s head, because his victory over the tender opposition, with which he has been fighting for the last five years, made him too confident. Of course, there is a limit of Stevenson’s false confidence, because we have already seen that he did not want to fight Andy Cruz and Jadier Herrera.

When you see Shakura attacking Josh Padley, Joe Cordina and Floyd Schofield instead of these two Cubans, he tells you that his confidence is a false variety.

The probable reason he is interested in fighting Zepeda is that he knows that he needs at least one solid win in featherlight to have a chance to fight Tank Davis. Stevenson’s performance against Edwin de Los Santos was so delicate that it was not useful for him to utilize positive pressure to fight the tank.

Shakura’s last victories over Padley and Harutyunyan were also useless to him, because these two fighters were too indigent to facilitate him. To have a chance to fight Gervont, Shakur needs Zepeda. It’s about the tank.

Stevenson needs a victory over William Zeda to facilitate him confirm in the eyes of society, networks, promoters and tank. However, he is not crazy enough to fight Andy Cruz or Jadier Herrera and be exposed. He knows that he has a better chance against Zepeda, but he can find out how he made a mistake.

Power difference

What the farmer did against Zepeda, Stevenson cannot do because he has no power, size or strength of Tevin. The farmer is a much stronger warrior than Shakur, and his impact resistance is perfect. Shots that the farmer made from Zepeda in both fights would pull out Shakur.

Shakur would eliminate the hit that a farmer landed to Zepeda. You can argue that a farmer is a better warrior than Shakur, but he does not get recognition, because he is not a braggart, he does not publish 24/7 on X and there is no Eddie Hearn in interviews.

Dmitry Bivol vs. trilogy match Artur Beterbiev 3 is potentially discussed in October at the beginning of the Riyadh season. President of WBC Mauricio Sulaiman has already updated David Benavidez to the full WBC heavyweight champion.

Benavidez is waiting

Bivol vs. Beterbiev 3 is an unpopular fight with US fans, many of whom are fed up with seeing these two battles in tactical competitions that resemble Amateur, fence boxes It does not match the interests of the average man.

People wanted to see the challenge of David Benavidez for the unquestioned 175 pounds against Bivol. Dmitry could stop his undisputed master, first fighting with Benavidez, and then in the face of Artur Beterbaver in the first quarter of 2026.

It would not be a substantial deal. Perhaps the reason why the organizers of this event did not want to take this patch is the high probability of losing Bivol with Benavidez, which will spoil the trilogy with Beterbiv. However, if Bivol is not good enough to defend his titles against a teenage pistol, Benavidez, what is the sense of artificial maintenance of him with the undisputed champion? If you avoid going to the battlefield for fear of losing, where is the victory in this? I smell fear.

Bivol (24-1, 12 KO) already established a table for the third fight against Beterbiv (21-1, 20 KO) yesterday, leaving his WBC title after the sanctioning authority ordered him to defend him against his mandatory Benavidez.

Basic needs

When the third Bivol-Betiview fight takes place, it is expected to be displayed on Dazn PPV, as well as the previous two matches. To interest people in the USA, ordering an event will have to be great fights on the card.

It is not enough to glue the artist of the defensive Shakur Stevenson fighting with one of his hand -collected tender card fighters to facilitate him fight Gervont Davis.

If Saudi organizers insist on using Shakur to Undercard, they must adapt him to someone who has the chance to beat him, like Andy Cruz, Abdullah Mason, Jadier Herrera or Raymond Muratalla. If he refuses to fight them, he should be excluded from the card. Fans do not want to see Shakur fought with another electrician to make him look great. In terms of entertainment, Shakur is a loss. He is not a guy who aroused fans’ interest in ordering a tired rivalry between Bivol and Beterbieal.

It won’t work. This time there is a solid fighting, because in the first two events they were burdened with British and Australian fighters. There must be a greater balance with criminal, because they are too burdened with British with little talent, who are more produced fighters such as such as such as they do not measure.
