Theophimo Lopez lets x decide his next struggle: Stevenson emerges as a fans for fanatics

Theophimo López wants his fans to X decide who should fight between Richardson Hitchins and Shakur Stevenson.

Fans choose Stevenson

X users seem to be inclined to Teo Fighting Shakur, probably due to the recent decline between the two fighters on social media.

Shakur (24-0, 11 kos) won a great victory over William Zepeda on July 12, and his popularity increased after this victory. It was not a spectacular victory, but compared to how he normally struggles, he was exciting. People talk more about Stevenson than Hitchins. This should convince López to fight Shakur if he is serious about fans who choose his next opponent.

Fans would like to see López fight Hitchins and Shakur again, but that’s too hopeful. Theophimo has been very selective since his great career victory over Vasily Lomachenko in 2020. The closest López has won a risky struggle since then was against Josh Taylor, which was washed when they fought.

The real decision: Turki Alralhikh

The determined final will be the fight with Turki Alralikh will be willing to pay more. If you offer theophimo from $ 15 to $ 20 million to fight Hitchins, you can bet on struggle. It is doubtful that it does so because Hitchins is only known to hardcore boxing fans and has a small number of followers on social media compared to Shakur.

Hitchins has the title Ibf Light Welterweight to argue his case for a fight against Wbo Lopez champion (22-1, 13 kos). It would be a two -belt unification struggle if they mix it.

Hitch title is not enough

Unifications have lost their meaning at this time, as divisions are recorded and fans do not take much notes. What is most critical is popularity. This is where Shakur has a great advantage over Hitchins, which has not overcome enough names to be in a good position to attract theophimo.

What Hitchins should do is increase his profile fighting Gary Antuanne Russell, Subriel Matias and Alberto Puello. Once Richardson goes through these three, the fans will pressure for Teopimo to fight against him.
