Shakur Stevenson faced backlash from the boxing world after missing weight for his upcoming bout at 130 pounds. His failure to make weight incurred heavy losses for him. He has been stripped of his unified WBO and WBC super featherweight titles. The Olympic silver medalist was all set to defend his unified titles against the Brazilian pugilist Robson Conceicao at 130 pounds. Stevenson’s hometown was ready to welcome their hero in Newark, New Jersey. However, ahead of the fight, Stevenson’s unprofessional move became a storyline. He weighed 131.6 pounds which resulted in direct disqualification. Though Shakur Stevenson [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/shakur-stevenson/] tried his best, he could not make it. It was not intentional, and according to Stevenson, he has remained professional throughout his career. Now, his body’s threshold to make 130 pounds is over. Giving priority to his health, the 25-year-old announced he moved up in weight class to 135 pounds to continue boxing. Fortunately, the event is saved by making a few changes. The fight will take place but Stevenson would not be able to retain his titles regardless of winning.

No need to bash the dude over it!”, another fan tried to defend his fighter with a remark. One fan said, “Bad news for the 135 and 140 because he is coming.” One fan said, “He wanted to stay at 130 to avoid all the 135 40 pounders.
