Shakur Stevenson Calls Zepeda, Golden Boy: “Fake Mexicans!”


Shakur Stevenson slammed Golden Boy and William Zepeda on social media today for going “quiet” instead of starting negotiations for a fight in February. In a sign of how desperate Shakur is, he said he would agree to fight Zepeda in a small 18-foot ring. He also labeled Golden Boy and Zepeda “Fake Mexicans.”

Chase The Big Tuna

Shakur counted on that fight to happen next, but it looks like Golden Boy and Zepeda are waiting for a bigger prize—The ‘Big Tuna,’ Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis.

Zepeda and Golden Boy can earn loads of money in a battle with Tank. It’s completely understandable why they’d want to take that path rather than a lesser one against Shakur, who won’t attract nearly as much interest.

WBC Lightweight Champion Shakur (22-0, 10 KOs) has been pushing VERY hard for #1 contender Zepeda (32-0, 27 KOs) to begin negotiating for a fight next with him since his 10-round split decision victory over Tevin Farmer last Saturday at Latino Night in Riyadh.

Zepeda mentioned last Saturday that other champions are calling his name, and he wants to make the best deal. The guy Zepeda and Golden Boy are probably waiting on is Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis, the King of the lightweight division.

The lure of PPV Gold

A fight between Zepeda and Tank could bring in over 1 million PPV buys and make both fighters tons of money. With Zepeda’s popularity among Mexican fans and his crossover appeal, a fight between him and Tank would be massive.

Tank has a fight on March 1 to get out of the way first against Lamont Roach, but that’s easy work. It won’t be a big deal for him. If Golden Boy can start negotiating with PBC now for the Tank vs. Zepeda fight, this is a match that could take place in the summer of 2025
