In a highly polarized and dramatic showdown, Terence Crawford defeated Errol Spence Jr. to become the ultimate unified champion in the Welterweight division. ‘Bud’ Crawford established his prowess early in the fight as he limited ‘The Truth’s’ progress by a huge margin. At the end of the 9th round, he took complete ownership of the fight, snatching away the three titles held by Spence in the weight division. As Bud walked through victory into his dressing room, he saw his stablemate, Shakur Stevenson awaiting him, ready to celebrate the historic victory.

‘Sugar’ Stevenson on the same day took to Twitter to commemorate Bud’s win. In multiple such tweets, he established how impressed he was with his stablemate. However, as the clock progressed, his Twitter activity became more and more dramatic. He then entered into a heated exchange of words with Devin Haney. 

The two were mandated to fight by the WBC as Haney defended his title at the 135 weight division, but he rather chose to move up the weight. He is now expected to fight Regis Prograis in the light Welterweight division. This development has of course not gone well with Shakur, and seemingly both of them took out their frustrations over social media. As the day concluded, Shakur too retired from the space for the day with a rather bold statement.

Shakur Stevenson, yet again on social media

Shakur Stevenson in his recent Tweet made a rather volatile statement saying, “MOST PEOPLE DON’T KNOW SH*T BOUT BOXING!!!” Coming from someone like Stevenson, perhaps there might be substance to the statement. And to explore the same, his followers were quick to respond to him.

Capone referred to the support Shakur showed Terence against Errol Spence Jr. The user took shots at Errol’s fans who have been adapting to the loss he faced. However, the boxer is not badmouthing Errol. In fact, he has shown him the respect that he deserves for sustaining the blows of Terence till the end.

I-man clapped back at Shakur. Taking a dig at his loss against Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis, the user even pointed out that Shakur holds no belts yet.

dre also further took shots at him., He pointed out that Shakur would have taken the 25% offered to him by Haney’s team and fought against the undisputed fighter. However, his team wrote to the WBC earlier requesting it push for a 50-50 purse split.

Black American God also iterated that Shakur needs a big fight soon. He last fought Shuichiro Yoshino in April and won through TKO.

Twitter is Shakur’s world and we are just navigating through it. In the wake of the Spence Jr. vs Crawford fight, we await to see how the world of boxing displaces its normative to adapt to this victory. Meanwhile, we also await for the WBC to decide if it will allow Haney to retain his title at 135.
