Shakur Stevenson and Teofimo Lopez are at it again, trading jabs on social media. The two lightweight champs can't seem to agree on whether they'll actually fight each other.
The boxing world has been pretty quiet lately. Gervonta Davis is out of the picture, busy with his exhibition match against Jake Paul. Fans are getting restless, hoping for some real action in the ring.
Rumors started flying about Stevenson possibly fighting Lamont Roach Jr. Roach even claimed Stevenson wouldn't fight for the rest of the year. But Stevenson quickly shut that down, saying he'd only fight Roach if Lopez chickened out.
Then things got heated on X. Lopez posted that he'd accepted the fight and was ready to go early next year. Stevenson wasn't buying it.
Don't come on here trying to save face; I ain't heard nothing about you accepting the fight yet lil buddy
These two have been going at it for a while now. Lopez has said he'd beat up Stevenson and make him cry. Of course, Stevenson fired right back.
A match between Stevenson and Lopez could be just what lightweight boxing needs. Fans would love to see these two face off. They've got different styles and personalities, and there's already bad blood between them.
Will they actually step into the ring together? Only time will tell. But one thing's for sure - the trash talk isn't stopping anytime soon.
