“He Not on My Level”: Soon After Run-in With George Kambosos Jr., Shakur Stevenson Shuns the Idea of Potential Fight

Shakur Stevenson has already shunned a new potential challenger. The two-division world champion has been making headlines since he made his switch to the Lightweight division. Even though he awaits an answer from the reigning Lightweight undisputed champion for a fight, Stevenson ran into the former champion, George Kambosos Jr, at his recent victory against Maxi Hughes in his comeback fight. However, as the two crossed paths outside the ring, it raised many questions about a potential fight between the two. And, even though the hopes were high for this bout, it seems Stevenson has other plans. Kambosos Jr is not a part of them.

After crossing paths with Kambosos Jr, Stevenson took to his Twitter to deliver a message to all those fans hopeful for the bout between these two Lightweights. And, even though Stevenson agreed to a bout sometime in the future with Kambosos Jr., it seems like he has changed his mind now. And it has something to do with Kambosos’ “level” compared to him.

Shakur Stevenson is not interested in fighting Kambosos Jr

After his fight, Shakur Stevenson met Kambosos Jr and made it clear that he is open to fighting the Australian. The two got into an argument with each other. They were ready to go at it on the spot. Even though things got heated between the two, it gave rise to many rumors about a potential fight between them. But Stevenson made the likelihood of that happening very clear.

The 26-year-old took to his Twitter and slammed all the potential fight rumors by comparing his boxing prowess with the Australian’s. Stevenson wrote, “With all due respect to dude he not on my level I want the top dawgs he a pup it ain’t no point of entertaining that. We just ran into each that’s all.” It seems like ‘Sugar’ does not consider Kambosos Jr to be a worthy opponent. And he is focused on the “top dawgs” in the division.

What’s brewing between Stevenson and Haney?

A bout between Devin Haney and Stevenson is one of the most anticipated fights in the Lightweight division. After rejecting the champ’s first-ever offer, Stevenson has now become the mandatory challenger for his title. But Haney is in a dilemma.

Haney has a choice to make between fighting Stevenson or moving up in weight and locking horns with Regis Prograis. He was recently given a deadline to make his choice. It should be noted that there’s a 50-50 chance of the fight between Stevenson and Haney happening. The ball is in Haney’s court now. What are your anticipations for this fight?
