Shakur Stevenson Blasts Gervonta Davis Over Potential Jake Paul Exhibition
Calls It “Disrespectful” To Boxing
Picture by Mark Robinson / Matchroom Boxing
Shakur Stevenson complained this week
about Gervonta Davis possibly fighting Jake Paul in an exhibition match.
Stevenson (23-0, 11 KOs) says if Tank does that,
it would be “disrespectful” to the sport
if he faces Jake rather than him.
He claims he’s the “best fighter in the sport,”
and says if Davis doesn’t believe it,
he needs to fight him to prove it.
Stevenson is annoyed that Tank has dismissed him repeatedly,
viewing him as a boring, desperate fighter
looking for a cash-out.
Tank says Shakur should fight his “brother,” Keyshawn Davis.
He sees Shakur’s “brother pact”
as an excuse not to take a tough fight
that he might lose against Keyshawn.
“They should. They keep saying they’re not going to fight their brother s***.
Get the f*** out of here.
They do need to fight,”
said Gervonta about Shakur and Keyshawn needing to fight.
SHAKUR SLAMS TANK’S EXHIBITION
“Man, Tank is disrespectful to the sport
if he chooses that over fighting with me,”
said Shakur Stevenson to Fighthype,
reacting to the news of Gervonta Davis potentially fighting
an exhibition against Jake Paul soon.“I’m the best fighter in the sport.
I’ve been telling him that. He called cap on it.
If he wants to call cap and say I’m not who I say I am,
come prove it.”
But really, why should Tank have to “prove it”
if he doesn’t think Shakur is “the best fighter” in boxing?
Stevenson dismissed unbeaten talents
Ernesto Mercado and Jadier Herrera as being worthy opponents.
He said this about not wanting to fight Cuban puncher
Jadier Herrera (17-0, 15 KOs):
“They keep trying to direct me towards the little kids.
I want big names only!”
Then he turned around and fought Josh Padley,
a part-time electrician.
What does that tell you?
It tells me that Stevenson is playing it safe,
trying to stay unbeaten long enough
to get a giant payday against Tank.
Shakur keeps saying he’s
“the best fighter in the sport,”
but he hasn’t fought anyone truly dangerous
during his career except maybe Edwin De Los Santos.
And he ran from him for 12 rounds.
That was more “disrespectful” to boxing
than Tank potentially fighting a harmless exhibition match
against Jake Paul.
“I think it’s dangerous for him to go back in there and fight Lamont,”
said Shakur about Tank Davis agreeing to a rematch
with Lamont Roach on August 16th.“I think Lamont is a hell of a fighter.
I can see that going left.
He better be on his A-game.”
THE PAYDAY PURSUIT
Many people believe Stevenson is just trying to
weasel a fight out of Tank Davis,
and he’s not interested in fighting anyone good
to avoid losing out on that payday.
That’s why Shakur fought:
– The part-time boxer Josh Padley, and
– Artem Harutyunyan in his last two fights.
He also had fights scheduled against
Floyd Schofield and Joe Cordina.
Both are nowhere near the top at lightweight.
