Shakur Stevenson leaves behind his dignity as he continues his tireless pursuit of Theofimo Lopez on X and tries to make him agree to a fight.
Psychological warfare on social media
Shakur (24-0, 11 COs) continued today to drop the pressure on theofimo by interrogating him directly on social media. By making it public, Shakur uses psychological warfare. The daily exclamations Stevenson does may seem irreparable and obsessed with the average fan, but the focus here is to force Lopez to make a decision.
It’s a automatic loss For Theofimo to reject the struggle because it hurts its reputation and artificially increases the status of Shakur. It’s a primitive type of approach that Stevenson uses, but it works. Many fans believe that theofimo Shakur Duck and are scared. They see the possibility of Turki Alalshikh waiting to increase the offer.
Say mf now you ignore me is our fight or what? @Toofimolopez

Distracting his own career
The cries of Shakur also serve the purpose of taking the heat from fans, who want to defend him against his no. 1 WBC contender, Andy Cruz, or reschedule the fight against Floyd Schofield jr. As long as Stevenson Lopez seizes a fight, fans deduce to put his feet on the fire to defend against Andy Cruz or Schofield.
Fans noted that both Shakur and his ‘brother’ Keyshawn Davis are behind the hall at the same time. Earlier today, it was reported that KeyShawn (13-0, 9 COs) requested the WBO to install him as the Aofimo’s #1 contender at 140, who automatically placed him in front of the current #1 Alfredo Santiago without fighting in the division.
A shortcut for Keyhawn Davis
If theofimo evacuates his WBO title to avoid Keyshawn, it can cause him to be raised as he is by the sanction body as the no. 1 -contender is installed. Keyshawn was stripped of his WBO lightweight title because on June 6, 2025, he did not give weight for his title defense against Edwin de Los Santos.
