Floyd Schofield aka Kid Austin, 16-0-0, has been willing to fight Shakur Stevenson for some time. As a result, publicly, Austin challenged Shakur to a fight at the end of 2024. But, the current WBC Lightweight champion, having branded Austin “easy money“, refused to share the ring with the 21-year-old.
