WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson says he wants the challenger Floyd Schofield to thank for giving him the opportunity to fight on this map on Saturday night, February 22. Shakur (22-0, 10 cost) chose “Kid Austin ‘Schofield, and now he wants him to show gratitude.
Schofield picked up Shakur yesterday and said he was working on the spiritual level of it ‘7-year-old man‘ childAnd he is developing as an adult.
Demanding gratitude
It is a twisted, narcissistic Power play Go on Stevenson’s side and want to humiliate Schofield (18-0, 12 COs) to put in the role of a rented servant rather than a fighter who earned his title against him. He wants Kid Austin to understand that He is the boss In this battle and is just there as the B-side opponent who was brought in to lose.
If he can get the 22-year-old challenger to be grateful for the opportunity, he can demoralize himself to where he won’t fight so hard. This is on Shakur’s side, but it also shows how uncertain he is going on Saturday’s fight. He is worried.
Schofield could make Shakur feel sorry for picking him up by beating him out. He is a much larger puncher than most of the limited opposition Stevenson has fought since moving to the 135-pound division in 2023, and he has the courage to go after him when he runs.
A sign of uncertainty?
“I think he’s a little kid, and a little child will say everything,” says Shakur Stevenson to fit the box over the challenger Floyd Schofield before their fight this Saturday night in Riyadh. “He doesn’t really know what’s going on now. He just enjoys being here right now.
‘He must say, ‘Thank you,” Shakur says about the fact that he wants to put the Challenger Schofield in a position of submission. “I think he’s going to realize it’s a new level of box he has never been before.”
There are levels when it’s just you and @Shakurstevenson In the ring 🤷♂️
