Deen The Great Mocks Shakur Stevenson for Announcing His Retirement

Shakur Stevenson, a 21-0 undefeated champion, dropped a bombshell. “I’m out,” he declared, stepping away from the ring. But what happens when a social media influencer enters the fray? Deen The Great, a boxer known for calling out Shakur Stevenson, caught the perfect wind as he reacted to the news.

Isn’t it odd for an influencer to challenge a seasoned pro? Stevenson’s retirement stunned fans, but did it stir a mocking echo in the influencer world? As Stevenson vows to guide future boxers, one wonders, what provoked this sudden exit?

Traditional boxing meets influencer culture

Shakur Stevenson took to social media with a significant announcement. “I’m officially retiring from the sport of boxing,” he tweeted. His message not only confirmed his departure but also his commitment to nurturing future talents. “I’ll be in the gym forever perfecting my craft and helping the next generation,” Stevenson added, indicating a shift from competition to mentorship.

However, this momentous decision quickly attracted attention from an unexpected quarter. Deen The Great seized the opportunity to stir the pot. He tweeted, “Lmaooo I sent u into retirement lil bro😂😂🤣🤣🤣😴?? Sad.” This remark from Deen not only mocked the undefeated boxer’s decision but also implied a causal link between their online exchanges and Stevenson’s retirement.

But what led to Shakur’s sudden retirement? Could Emanuel Navarrete vs Denys Berinchyk be one reason?

A prelude to Shakur Stevenson retiring?

Before announcing his retirement, Shakur Stevenson voiced his discontent with the boxing world. His frustration became evident when he reacted strongly to the World Boxing Organization’s (WBO) decision to have Emanuel Navarrete face Denys Berinchyk for the vacant WBO Lightweight title. Stevenson expressed his distaste with a blunt tweet: “This is sickening… Sh*t is disgusting, my ni**a.”

This sentiment revealed a deeper disillusionment with the sport’s direction. Merely ten minutes before his retirement tweet, he hinted at his departure, stating, “I mines well retire.” This comment, combined with his reaction to the WBO’s match-up, suggests that Stevenson’s decision to retire was not spontaneous but a culmination of growing dissatisfaction with the current state of professional boxing.
