Shakur Stevenson Challenges Ryan Garcia: 'Can You Beat Me or Not?'
In a recent exchange of words, Shakur Stevenson, the three-division and current WBC lightweight world champion, has responded to Ryan Garcia's dismissive comments about him. The clash began when Garcia, a 140lb contender, downplayed Stevenson's skills during an interview, asserting that nobody is scared of him in the boxing world. Stevenson, known for his recent victory over Edwin De Los Santos, faced criticism for what some perceived as a lackluster performance. Despite securing the win and claiming a world title in a third weight class, there are whispers that Stevenson's stardom and pay-per-view appeal might have taken a hit. Garcia, during an interview with The Breakfast Club, scoffed at the idea of a potential fight with Stevenson, placing him outside the league of stars like Gervonta Davis and himself. In response, Stevenson took to social media to address Garcia's remarks, questioning the boxer's reluctance to face him directly. Stevenson expressed his readiness to fight Garcia at the super-lightweight division, dismissing any concerns about weight classes. "Lol, if this ain’t the most scariest s**t I done heard. Can you beat me or not? Everything else is irrelevant Scary Ryan – And that’s why you would give everyone else an opportunity besides me. No, I don’t [want him to come down to 135lbs], I would fight him at 140lbs.” While Garcia is currently focused on challenging Devin Haney for the WBC super-lightweight crown, the door appears to be open for a potential showdown with Stevenson in the future. As the verbal sparring continues, boxing fans eagerly await whether the two fighters will settle their differences in the ring, making for an exciting matchup in the super-lightweight division. #ShakurStevenson #RyanGarcia #GervontaDavis #DevinHaney #BoxingShowdown #SuperLightweightClash
