Shakur Stevenson has been making some remarks directly to his fellow US boxing rival Devin Haney and it gets you thinking does this.
Apparently Stevenson has said he has accepted the 144 pounds catchweight fight offer to face Haney soon.
Haney on his part is keeping stum for now and is promising big news soon.
However on the X platform, formerly Twitter, Stevenson has sent Haney a direct post to him on his timeline.
Saying if both he and Haney go to a weighing scales right now in Las Vegas that Haney will be at least 20 pounds heavier than him.
That does not look good.
This is the crux of what might be going on with the fight talks are.
It looks to us and anyone with half a brain that of course this is not a typical catchweight of 144 pounds bout that Stevenson wants.
Haney moved up to 147 pounds recently at welterweight and you would think that a 144 pounds catchweight would be enough of an advantage to Stevenson.
It is an advantage.
But apparently it is not enough.
It looks like Stevenson is going to insist on a rehydration clause on top of all that as well because Haney walks around much heavier than him (in his view).
To try to weight drain Haney and make it an unfair advantage to Stevenson.
If Newark boxer Shakur Stevenson is not scared of Haney he should do the right thing and fight him at the catchweight of 144 pounds.
Without any need for a rehydration clause.
Fight him at his best and at your best. Fair and square.
That is what people in America and boxing spectators care about.
The 144 pounds catchweight is already a big enough concession from Devin Haney and his manager and father, Bill Haney.
