Shakur Stevenson Confirms Involvement In Jake Paul vs Gervonta Davis Fight

Paul recently called for Stevenson to help him prepare for the Davis fight. Speaking to TMZ Sports, he said, "We have world champions, Raymond Ford at 130 lbs, Montana Love and Shakur Stevenson are coming in this week. So, just sparring against guys on their level and people who have been doing this their entire lives. But, we are really focusing on speed, not as much on power."

He added, "I am not doing as much weight lifting and all that stuff. I am actually trying to lose some muscle so that I have less weight and my punches are coming off faster."

Stevenson took note of the comments and wrote on X:

"Fire, Get a chance to pick a great business mind brain and help give some game in the process I’m down ."Shakur Stevenson

Stevenson then went on to tease Davis fans, writing, "They be so mad at me everyday."

Like many in the boxing community, Stevenson is not a big fan of Paul vs Davis. He understands the business side, but reckons 'Tank' should have had his rematch with Lamont Roach Jr following their majority draw earlier this year. He told AK & Barak:

"As a business, I understand. I ain't going to hate on the decision, but as a man, your pride will get in the way."Shakur Stevenson

Davis vs Roach 2 looked inevitable after their controversial first fight in March. However, Davis took a different route, which guarantees him a much higher payday. To his defense, it's prize fighting and professionals tend to make decisions that suit their monetary interests best.
