Shakur Stevenson was furious at Teofimo Lopez for reposting from the undefeated pretender to WBC, Jadier Herrera, who called him last Saturday evening after the victory over Jose Macias Enriquez in Liverpool.
Shakur 140 offer
Shakur changed his frame, saying Teofimo (21-1, 13 KO) that he would go to 140 and challenge him for his lightweight WBO, to become a world champion in four leaves.
“What are you fighting with me, teo .. Let’s assume that we both do business with the same people 🤫 I will go 140 for it,” said Shakur on X.
Teofimo has a larger fish for frying, not wasting time with a warrior who has no fans base. Shakur got stuck with his old-fashioned Mayweather Era of dinosaurs A fight style that does not match the current boxing era. This style was perfect in front of the internet When the fans had no other choice but to watch lifeless fighters because there were no other options.
Teofimo was amused by the way Jadier called Shakur last weekend, which was hilarious, at the same time frosty. A guy like Herrera could destroy Shakur’s career if he had a chance to fight him.
That is why Stevenson’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, decided to safely choose, adapting him to the featherlight electrician Josh Padley last month after Floyd Schofield withdrew from February 22 with the disease. Herrera was one of the options considered, and Hearn chose Padley.
Falling “Kill you”
Cuban Herrera (17-0, 15 KO) demanded that Shakur “send me a contract”, adding “I’ll kill you.“
The last remark could be the answer that Shakur rejected the idea of fighting 22-year-old Herrera as absurd, stating: “They are still trying to direct me towards adolescent children. I just want gigantic names !!!! “
Fans in social media did not buy Shakur’s excuses, saying that his last opponent, Josh Padley, was not a gigantic name and would be simple to work for 5’11 “Southpaw Jadier Herrera. In addition, Shakur has never fought gigantic names in his entire career, especially since he moved to 135 in 2023.
