After a Christmas season packed with sparky Boxing matches, 2021 is off to a scintillating start as rumblings of a clash between Lightweights Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson start to grow louder. Social media has lit up with interactions between the two promising American pugilists who are now seemingly set on crossing paths in a blockbuster clash that’s bound to stoke the fires of any true fight fanatic!

Devin Haney, also known as “The Dream”, is known for his swift, hard-hitting punches and tactical aptitude which saw him dominate most of his opponents, earning him the World Boxing Council champion title in 2019. Haney has stomped the grounds of the Lightweight division, standing tall with a clean 25-0 win-loss canvas, and he looks ready to challenge anyone who dares to step into the ring with him.

Conversely, Shakur Stevenson, nicknamed “Fearless”, is no stranger to the spotlight, either. The former WBO featherweight champion has a knack for calculated and precise hits and has garnered a commendable reputation in his field. Having recently moved up to the 130lb range, he has an unbeaten stretch of 15-0, making him a worthy contender for Haney.

However, following his latest display in the ring, Haney dismissed Stevenson’s performance as less-than-stellar. Truth be told, Haney was less than impressed with Stevenson’s last showing and took to Twitter to express his thoughts outright. In a spectacle that has caused chuckles and raised eyebrows alike in the fight fraternity, Haney offered his rival a meager 5% of their fight purse in a not-so-subtle dig aimed at Stevenson’s recent performance.

The cheeky tweet has since sparked off a flurry of responses from fans of both Boxing stars who are now eagerly anticipating the possibility of a Haney Vs. Stevenson face-off.

Social media users and boxing enthusiasts have criticized Devin Haney’s offer as nothing more than a publicity stunt meant to provoke Stevenson. However, it is worth noting that despite the banter and sneaky jabs, Haney’s fight-offer still stands, and his readiness to face Stevenson in the ring remains undisputed.

Shakur Stevenson, true to his nickname, has not let the 5% jibe deter his spirits and has expressed his willingness to accept the challenge and take on Haney in what promises to be an electrifying and brutal clash of pugilistic prowess.

As the stage is set for the potential Haney v Stevenson match, boxing fans worldwide find themselves waiting in anticipation for a definitive date. One thing is for sure, the 5% offer, as audacious and disrespectful as it might have been, has served its purpose in stoking the fires of this potentially explosive matchup. It is now up to these boxing maestros to bring their undeniable skills into the arena and lay everything on the line for the honor of victory.
