Shakur Stevenson requires gratitude and humility from Floyd Scofield

WBC Champion Shakur Stevenson says he wants Challenger Floyd Schofield to thank him for giving him this opportunity to fight this card on Saturday night, February 22, in Riyadh. Shakur (22-0, 10 COS) chose “Kid Austin” Schofield, and now he wants him to show gratitude.

SchoField Riled Shakur yesterday saying that it works at a mental level of this -7-year-old” childAnd he is torn in his development as an adult.

Grateful

This is twisted, narcissistic Power Move to Stevenson, striving to humiliate Scofield (18-0, 12 CO) to take on the role of a hired servant, not a fighter who won his title against him. He wants a child Austin to understand that He is the boss In this duel, he is right there as an opponent of B-Side, leading to lose.

If he manages to put the 22-year-old Challenger in the role of being grateful for the possibility, he can demoralize it to a place where he will not fight so hard. This is a sneaky on the part of Shakur, but also shows how uncertain he enters the Saturday match. She is worried.

Scofield could make Shakur regret taking him by killing him. He is a much greater blow than most of the limited opposition that Stevenson has been fighting since moving to the division since 135 FUNT in 2023 and has the courage to follow him if he runs out.

A sign of uncertainty?

“I think he is a young child and a young child will say nothing,” said Stevenson, to box for Challenger Floyd Schofield matches before his battle this Saturday night in Riyadh. “He doesn't really know what's going on right now. He is just glad to be here at that moment.

“He has to say, “Thank you,said Shakur that he wanted to put Challenger Schofield in a position of submission. “I think he will realize that this is a whole new level of boxing he has never been before.”

There are levels when you are only you and @Shakursevenson in the ring 🤷‍♂
