Shakur Stevenson And Vasily Lomachenko exchanged statements on social networks. First, the American published a post in which he challenged the Ukrainian to a duel, and then Vasily answered with his counterargument.
“Hey, Vasily, I have great respect for you, you deserve your belts, I hope you have recovered and you are doing well. I think it's time for a real high-level chess match. I'm ready for the big fight, champion. Let's do something already, ”Stevenson wrote.
"I'm fine. But sorry, I have unfinished business with Devin Haney, ”Lomachenko says in a response post.
“I understand, champion. But if he runs from you the same way he runs from me, it makes sense to meet the two of us, ”Shakur continued the dialogue.
Stevenson and Lomachenko are under contract to the same Top Rank promoter, and it is likely that Bob Arum, if he sees fit, can match the young rising star of American boxing with the Ukrainian experienced fighter, whose career is considered to have already reached its peak.
