WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson and Jersey City prospect Floyd Schofield Jr. have built up quite the rivalry. Now, Stevenson is taking jibes at the 22-year-old on social media. The drama between the pair was impossible to miss unless you were living under a rock for the past week or so. But don’t worry, we have got your back, Jack!

You see, Stevenson and ‘Kid Austin’ were supposed to fight on the undercard of last Saturday night’s Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol rematch. However, Schofield was forced to pull out of the fight at the 11th hour. Schofield’s father, Floyd Schofield Sr., immediately pointed at Stevenson as the reason, accusing him of poisoning his son.

As you may have expected, this was immediately all over social media, and Stevenson’s co-manager fired back with lawsuit threats. Schofield Sr. eventually absolved Stevenson of the poisoning accusations. Meanwhile, the Newark native ended up fighting England’s Josh Padley, winning the fight via a 9th-round stoppage. However, now it appears the friction between Stevenson and Schofield Jr. has escalated.

Earlier today, Schofield Jr. took to X, sharing a training clip of himself, indicating he is back training in the gym. And that right there my friend, was a big mistake. The clip was picked up by ‘Boxing n BBQ’ who shared it on X and the clip caught Stevenson’s attention. He sarcastically commented on Schofield’s clip with two words, “This top 2.”

It’s worth noting that Schofield is ranked No. 2 by the WBA in the lightweight division, and Schofield has previously bragged about that fact on Instagram. Regardless, now it appears Stevenson has intentions to fight someone else.

Shakur Stevenson wants Gervonta Davis

Shakur Stevenson made a statement in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with a dominant ninth-round TKO over late replacement Josh Padley. The WBC lightweight champion showcased his elite skills, breaking down Padley with relentless body shots before forcing a stoppage. Now, Stevenson has his sights set on Gervonta Davis, the WBA lightweight champion, who defends his title on March 1 against Lamont Roach. Stevenson believes a fight with Davis is the biggest matchup in boxing.

“Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis. I think that’s the biggest fight in boxing,” Stevenson said after his victory. “Me and him can make the most money if we make this fight happen, so let’s do it.” With both fighters holding world titles and boasting undefeated records, a potential showdown could be one of the most anticipated fights in the sport. Now, the question is whether Davis will accept the challenge.

That said, even though Floyd Schofield Jr. has managed to drum up some drama around a future bout against Stevenson, it appears Shakur Stevenson has moved on to someone else for good. But even then, Stevenson can’t help taking digs at Schofield. What do you make of their latest exchange?
