“Taking a Lil Therapeutic Break”: Shakur Stevenson Announces Break From X With a Declaration
Follow Us
Shakur Stevenson seems to be tired of social media at the moment! The Newark native recently announced a break from X (formerly Twitter) alongside a strong declaration about himself. The WBC lightweight champion has been embroiled in several online feuds with a couple of different people, which presumably is the reason behind his break.
At first, he found himself in a spat with Bill Haney when Stevenson offered to sub for Ryan Garcia, highlighting the Victorville native’s mental health concerns. Bill claimed Stevenson wasn’t remarkable enough to fight his son Devin Haney. On the other hand, Stevenson got into a back-and-forth with Garcia to determine who the better fighter is, securing a potential matchup. Moreover, he has also requested Oscar De La Hoya for a fight against one of his fighters. Nevertheless, Stevenson saw it fit to make this declaration on social media today.

Stevenson wrote, “July 6th and the rest of my career. I will show y’all why #ChasingGreatness.” However, this isn’t the first time Stevenson has made such claims!

See y’all then.”

Stevenson ready for Oscar De La Hoya’s fighter
The Newark native hasn’t fought since a lackluster showing against Edwin De Los Santos in November last year. It has led to many opponents avoiding a fight against Shakur. Initially, Shakur wanted to fight William Zepeda. However, after Oscar De La Hoya revealed Zepeda was fighting someone else soon, Stevenson shifted his sights to Floyd Schofield.
