Shakur Stevenson Complains About Devin Haney’s Weight Again

Shakur Stevenson expressed frustration on social media over the potential weight difference in a proposed bout against Devin Haney. Stevenson questioned whether it was fair to move from 135 to 147 pounds across three fights, estimating Haney could rehydrate to 170 pounds by fight night while he might only weigh 148 pounds. Stevenson also indicated that he had removed his previous demand for a 144-pound catchweight.

Boxing 24/7 argues that Stevenson's public complaints regarding weight concessions harm fan anticipation and display premature doubt. The outlet contends that elite fighters traditionally overcome physical disadvantages without publicly airing bargaining disputes, asserting that Stevenson should rely on his boxing skills instead of seeking sympathy on social media prior to signing fight contracts.
