Shakur Stevenson revealed his frustration with Theophimo Lopez today to X, telling him to “stop playing” and “sign the formalities” to fight.
López’s cryptic response
The Wbo Light Welterweight champion, Teophimo (22-1, 13 kos), previously contacted the light champion of WBC Shakur (24-0, 11 kos), saying, “What happens, Gangsta”, with an emoji showing the signature for a fight in “140”.
It is impossible to know if López is serious about wanting to fight with Shakur, as it was published from time to time, and then shut up for weeks at the same time. Dazn’s neglect, Chris Mannix, reported X Last Friday, August 22, “There has been no progress in talks for a struggle of Theophimo Lopez-Shakur Stevenson and Saudi officials continue. “”
I really agree with the struggle with the people who will fight, but you have to stop playing with the fans and act as if they agree with the struggle when you did not agree on the shit, but on social media. Take advantage of the people and sign the procedures. @Teofimolopez

Shakur’s relentless persecution
However, Stevenson does not show signs of giving up, and he continues to publish daily, instantly in López to fight with him. The Matchroom promoted Stevenson, who no longer has the option of great money he expected against Gervonta Davis because he has signed to fight Jake Paul on November 14 in the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
This was the struggle that Stevenson and his promoter, Eddie Hearn, expected to happen after the victory of the unanimous decision of the 12 rounds of Shakur on the temporary champion of 135 LB of WBC, William Zepeda, on July 12.
Stevenson says Lamont Roach is your B option if you can’t fight theophimo. Roach (25-1-2, 10 kos) has a struggle in the works against Gabriel Flores Jr. (27-2, 8 kos) by the end of this year.
Andy Cruz, a high -risk option
Shakur has options beyond Roach and Theophimo. The number 1 WBC contestant, Andy Cruz, would be an ideal option for Stevenson. It is not well known, and there would be a lot of risk for Shakur to fight him. Cruz is a 2020 Olympic gold medalist. He defeated Shakur’s intimate friend, Keyshawn Davis, in the finals of these Olympic Games.
