What happens when Drake shows up at your birthday party? The party would have been grand, and everyone must have had a great night. However, it seems Shakur Stevenson has to make a case for his birthday party, as he goes back and forth in a hilarious clip defending his “big” party. Even Claressa Shields couldn’t control her laughter when she watched the clip. What exactly happened?
Stevenson, 26, is enjoying his time off the ring. While the American is itching to return to the square circle, he continues to appear on podcasts and in interviews. When he sat down with Funny Marco, the conversation always hit a funny note. The host darted a question about his birthday and his party but soon pointed out that having Drake at the party didn’t make the party big. So, what exactly were the criteria that Funny Marco set?

Claressa Shield left in splits over Shakur Stevenson’s funny clip
“Sh*t Drake was there,” Stevenson, at 21-0, replied when the host inquired how big his party was. But the latter soon asked whether there were “big girls.” The lightweight boxer responded, “Big girls? No, I don’t. I ain’t see no big girls there.” That disappointed Marco, as he then labeled the party a “little party.”

However, the Newark native pleaded his case, called his party big, and mentioned that there were “a lot of people.” But Marco hit back. He said, “Definitely small.” As Stevenson again clarified that there were many people, the host specified there were “small people.” The two could later be seen talking about how fast the WBC lightweight champion was and how he could hit the host because of his reflexes.
But how Stevenson responded to Funny Marco’s questions had Claressa Shields in laughter. She turned to her Instagram handle and shared the clip on her story. Calling him a “baby,” she captioned the story, “LOL BABY BRO @SHAKURSTEVENSON.”
Shields and Stevenson share a close bond. She has come to Stevenson’s defense multiple times and hailed him as the next Floyd Mayweather. Stevenson is currently gearing up for his next fight. Meanwhile, Shields recently returned to MMA and bagged a split-decision win against Kelsey De Santis.

Who is Stevenson fighting next?
The lightweight boxer is rumored to make his first title defense against Artem Harutyunyan. Interestingly, the Armenian boxer is coming into the fight with a year-long layoff and a unanimous decision loss against Frank Martin. Therefore, the supposed fight has already raised quite a few eyebrows.

Moreover, this fight will end Stevenson’s contract with Top Rank and Bob Arum. It remains to be seen whether he can redeem himself after his last dismal performance against Edwin De Los Santos and which promotion he joins next.
