Shakur Stevenson calls out Zepeda, Golden Boy: “Fake Mexican!”

Shakur Stevenson trashed Golden Boy and William Zepeda on social media today for going “quiet” instead of opening negotiations for a fight in February. In a sign of how desperate Shakur was, he said he would agree to fight Zepeda in a smaller 18-foot ring. He also produced the Golden Boy and Zepeda labels.Fake Mexican.”

Chasing big tuna

Shakur is counting on the next fight, but it seems that Golden Boy and Zepeda are waiting for a bigger prize.gave Big tuna,’ Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis.

A lot of money can be earned in battles with Zepeda and Golden Boy tanks. It’s completely understandable why they’d want to go that route rather than the lesser route against Shakur, which wouldn’t have as much interest. Who needs sugar when you have tonic?

WBC lightweight champion Shakur (22-0, 10 KOs) has been in talks for #1 contender Zepeda (32-0, 27 KOs) for his next fight since his 10-round split decision victory over Tune Farmer. REAL is pushing hard to start a conversation. Last Saturday at the Latin Night in Riyadh

Zapida said last week that other champions are mentioning his name, and he wants to make the best deal. The guy Zapida and Golden Boy are likely waiting for is Gronta ‘Tank’ Davis, the king of the lightweight division.

Lure of PPV Gold

A fight between Zepeda and Tank could generate over 1 million PPV buys and both fighters could earn a lot of money. With Zepeda’s popularity among Mexican fans and his crossover appeal, the battle between him and Tank will be huge.

On March 1st, the tank has a fight to get out of the way first against Lemont Roach, but it’s an easy task. It won’t be a big deal for him. If Golden Boy can begin negotiations with PBC for a Tank vs. Zepeda fight, it’s a match that could happen in the summer of 2025.
