Shakur Stevenson Blasted by Fellow Champion Ahead of Title Fight
Shakur Stevenson is set to compete for the WBO World Super Lightweight title against Teofimo Lopez on Saturday night. Stevenson, the reigning WBC World Lightweight champion, will put his unbeaten record of 24-0 on the line.
The fight will take place at Madison Square Garden, with Lopez welcoming Stevenson to the 140-pound division.
O'Shaquie Foster, the current WBC World Super Featherweight champion, has blasted Stevenson, calling him 'goofy' and stating that he wants to 'humble' him in a fight. Foster, who has a record of 24-3, said he would aim for a lightweight title fight with Stevenson if he returns to the weight class after his fight with Lopez.
Foster spoke to Fight Hub TV, revealing that he has strong feelings about facing Stevenson due to his perceived fake behavior.
The bout between Stevenson and Lopez is expected to be a great fight, with Foster not predicting an outright winner. However, Foster believes that the odds, which massively favor Stevenson, are not an accurate representation of the matchup.
Stevenson's fight against Lopez will be a significant test for the undefeated champion.
If Stevenson wins, he may face pressure to return to the lightweight division, where Foster awaits. The outcome of the fight will have significant implications for both fighters' careers.
The fight between Stevenson and Lopez will take place on Saturday night, with the winner claiming the WBO World Super Lightweight title.
