Two-time world champion Shakur Stevenson and undisputed lightweight champion Devin Haney went back and forth on Twitter. Both fighters attended an outdoor party in Houston where Shakur made a funny gesture. Stevenson sent a champagne bottle to Haney with the message ‘Sign the Contract.’ The video has since gone viral, and Haney is furious with Shakur.

After the party, the undisputed lightweight champion went on Twitter and called Stevenson a clout chaser. “Clown s**t, Bob, JPrince & I don’t know wtf he talking bout. Just clout chasing. If it was a contract then we would go into purse bid because he’s my mandatory. When he really wanna fight tell his promoter. Until then, get off my d**k, ” posted Haney on Twitter. Shakur did not overlook the call out and lashed back at Haney.

The ongoing feud between both fighters might soon make it to the ring. Top Rank promoter Bob Arum who co-promoted Haney’s last three fights, is prepared to offer him a three-fight option. Since boxing promoters focus more on putting the biggest fight possible, a potential matchup between Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney might happen sooner than fans think.
