Devin got better opportunities than me.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;He got the opportunity to fight [Lomachenko] for every belt &#8211; that&#8217;s an opportunity. I didn&#8217;t get the opportunity to fight Lomachenko on pay-per-view card. If we fought, that would be a big fight. We tried to do that and he said no.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;He can say that, that&#8217;s cool if he wants to run with that. I hear him, but ask him who the better fighter is. Really I&#8217;m a better fighter than you bro. I&#8217;m in the gym all the time, I eat sleep boxing. You party, social media, running round doing other s***. I&#8217;m locked in. Once the opportunity comes you&#8217;re going to see.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But Stevenson was less optimistic about the likelihood of Haney dropping down after his fight with Prograis on December 9.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;That&#8217;s basically saying if he wants to move down and fight me for the belt, he would be first in line. It would be 50\/50 split it if happens,&#8217; he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Use your two eyes &#8211; we all know Haney is not going up to 140 then coming back down to 135 to fight me. That doesn&#8217;t make sense. He&#8217;s just doing that to be petty.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/14\/16\/77790667-12748367-image-a-20_1699980596030.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>It came after Haney criticised Stevenson for rejecting a 75-25 split to fight him in the summer<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I&#8217;m champion, he vacated his belt, he carried on with his business and now I&#8217;m the champion in the division after I beat [Edwin] De Los Santos.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I could see myself moving up to 140 but I&#8217;ve got to get my feet wet at 135. I&#8217;m really small so making weight is really easy for me right now. I don&#8217;t see it any time soon but if it makes sense I wouldn&#8217;t mind going up to 140.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It comes after Haney dismissed Stevenson&#8217;s unhappiness with his low financial package and said if he really believed he would win the fight, he would have taken the low 25 per cent split &#8211; saying it would have led to the same opportunities he had.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Shakur knows what time it is with me,&#8217; he said. &#8216;He knows that my offer was legitimate, and if he really believed in himself and if he believed that I was everything that he claimed that I was, he would have taken the fight,&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It was the most money that he would have ever made in all his fights put together with that 25%, and that&#8217;s facts, that&#8217;s 100%. If he felt like I was so easy, so green, whatever he says, then he would have taken the fight, and he would have had a shot at the undisputed [lightweight] titles like I did.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/boxing\/article-12748367\/Shakur-Stevenson-insists-BETTER-boxing-resume-Devin-Haney-Dream-suggested-ducking-following-failed-talks-tells-Hook-rival-opportunities.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shakur Stevenson insists he has a BETTER boxing resume than Devin Haney after &#8216;The Dream&#8217;
