Shakur Stevenson forecasts his fight against Teophim Lopez in 2026 will be “tremendously” on PPV. He claims that with their personalities and with the proper promotion, they will make large numbers.
Doing the boxing again
It would be nice if Shakur could fight before the end of the year against one of the light contestants. In this way, he can show how he has improved and will be willing to exchange with López instead of running.
“We both want to do the boxing again,” Shakur Stevenson said The sand about the state of struggle between him and Theophimo Lopez.
It would be positive for sport if Shakur and Teophimo began to fight the best after their fight in 2026. I have my doubts. López has not risked since his loss to George Kamboses Jr. by 2021.
“I am not losing with him. Come and fight at night, I will show the world. I have been waiting for this opportunity all my life. I and Teo have great personalities. I think with the proper support and proper promotion, the struggle will be greatly sold,” said Shakur.
Stevenson does not say what he means when he talks about “waiting for this opportunity”. It has many opportunities for risky struggles to light fighters who are equally good, if not better than Teophimo.
Shakur does not fight them, but they are at the age of 135. I think what Stevenson means is that he has been waiting for a great day like the one who will bring a fight against López. There is a lot of money that Stevenson can earn. According to talent, some lightweight is more skilled than López, in my opinion. There are Andy Cruz, Abdullah Mason, Floyd Schofield and Raymond Muratalla.
It doesn’t look good for Stevenson. He has overcome this fight against López and could go to his first defeat since Robeisy Ramirez defeated him at the 2016 Olympic Games.
The Cuba tunic had Shakur with tears, crying endlessly during the interview after. He cried, but there was no tears. It was very strange, like seeing a bad actor during a movie. Stevenson took the high road, not to call the robbery, which would have made it look worse.
Theophimo has several advantages over Shakur that will make it difficult for him to win. These are the advantages:
If Turki Alshikh is the only funding and promotes the Theophimo VS event. Shakur through the ring can make dignified numbers in Dazn PPV. It’s not a big enough struggle for Netflix to pick up.
Stevenson is still a popular fighter and the reason is evident. It is a runner and will not change this style unless he faces fighters who do not have pop in their punches. We saw Shakur fighting in our pocket against light beaters William Zepeda, Josh Padley, Artem Harutyunyan and Shuichiro Yoshino.
