Turki famous that he pays some fighters much more than the price of two Ferraris, but when that’s what it takes to get him to comply with the battle, he’ll try this for him.
Tank Davis sounded off negatively throughout Tuesday’s press convention, saying that Shakur has finished “Nothing within the sport” and doesn’t need to battle him or Keyshawn Davis. The three fighters that Tank does need to battle in 2025 are these fortunate ones:
– Ryan Garcia
– Vasily Lomachenko
– Devin Haney
If Gervonta has determined that he solely needs to battle these three earlier than retiring on the finish of 2025, there’s not a lot Turki can do about it however settle for his determination. However Tank has a value in his head that if Alalshikh meets it, he’ll comply with battle Shakur so long as he doesn’t ask for loopy cash.
Turki’s Supply

“My plan for Shakur is that this battle, then William Zepeda, after which let’s see if Tank needs to be in our present,” stated Turki to Ariel Helwani’s website on YouTube.
If Tank Davis fights Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia in 2025, he wouldn’t want Shakur as a result of these two matches would possible be greater. Stevenson isn’t fashionable with informal boxing followers. He has a fan base, however it’s not an enormous one.
Outdated Type
These followers like watching his defensive fashion, which is uncommon on this period. They take pleasure in watching the outdated, outdated Mayweather fashion of hit-and-not-get-hit strategy. That combating fashion doesn’t work on this period with competitors from the UFC, different sports activities, social media, and cable tv.
To take pleasure in watching Shakur, it’s a must to be a minimalist who’s pleased with fighters who usually are not participating and use motion for 12 rounds. There usually are not sufficient of these varieties of followers within the U.S. market; therefore, Shakur’s current fights have been booed.
There are too many distractions for followers now, and fighters who use the fencing fashion that Mayweather was well-known for are boring; they don’t acquire a following now. Shakur doesn’t belong on this period. His Excellency has the cash to overpay Shakur and whoever he needs him to battle, however that doesn’t imply he’ll turn out to be a star.
