Lopez explained why Stevenson decided to retire

Teofimo Lopez, a famous American boxer, expressed his opinion on the fact that his undefeated compatriot Shakur Stevenson decided to end his professional career.

“After Shakur’s performance in the fight with Edwin De Los Santos and the hype around him, Top Rank said that they would not pay him as much next time. And he said: “To hell with this, I’m the best.” And I’ll leave better.” I wish him nothing but success. But you need to agree to a fee reduction. It's necessary. Promoters can push us for a very long time before we reach the elite level,” Lopez said in an interview with the YouTube channel Fight Hub TV.

Let us remember that Shakur Stevenson is only 26 years old.
