Shakur Stevenson Challenges Floyd Schofield to Conquer Abdullah Mason in Order to Face Him
Shakur Stevenson is not one to back down from a challenge, but he's not about to give just anyone a shot at his title. When Floyd "Kid Austin" Schofield started calling him out, Stevenson saw through the act, calling it a ploy for attention. In Stevenson's eyes, Schofield hasn't proven himself in the ring to deserve a shot at the WBC strap.
Stevenson laid down the gauntlet, challenging Schofield to face Abdullah Mason, a rising prospect with an impressive record. Stevenson believes that if Schofield can't handle Mason, then he's not even in the same league as Stevenson for a title fight. It's a test that Stevenson doubts Schofield can pass.
With the boxing world buzzing about a potential matchup between Stevenson and Schofield, the plot thickens with the promotional affiliations of each fighter. Stevenson fights under Matchroom, Mason is with Top Rank, and Schofield is signed with Golden Boy Promotions. It's a tangled web of connections that adds another layer of intrigue to the potential showdown.
In the words of Shakur Stevenson, "Kid Austin hasn't done anything in the sport of boxing. He hasn't faced real competition. So, until he proves himself, stepping into the ring with me won't benefit me in any way."
The stage is set for a high-stakes showdown, but first, Schofield must prove his worth in the ring. Until then, Stevenson remains focused on his journey to greatness, ready to take on any challenger who truly earns their shot.
